Answer:

The correct option is c. The sensors for the arterial baroreceptor reflex are located in carotid sinus and aortic arch.

Explanation:

Baroreceptors are primary sensors (or mechanosensitive nerve endings) that detect distention in vascular walls and are stimulated by mechanical deformations during blood vessel stretching. They are located in the carotid sinus and the aortic arch. The stretching the vessel walls at any of these locations causes vasodilation and bradycardia. The baroreceptors detect the stretching of the vessels due to changes in blood pressure, through them a more efficient control of blood pressure is achieved.

​there is a higher rate of both prostate cancer and breast cancer in men who test positive for the brca genes.
PilotLPTM [1.2K]
Fact, BRCA genes help with cell division in the breast and prostate regions. Therefore, if they are mutated, the cell division process wouldn't function normally and possibly end up in cancer since the BRCA genes tend to be tumor suppressors (cancer is a malignant tumor).

Is the statement "I joined the science club to make my parents happy" intrinsic motivation
Bess [88]
Depends on whether the person is talking to themselves, or someone else.
If they are talking to themselves, it is indeed intrinsic motivation, as they are convincing themselves they are also happy and motivated to join the science club as it makes their parents happy.
If they are talking to someone else, it would not be intrinsic motivation. This is because they are merely telling someone that they're doing something to make their parents happy.
As it is a statement, on the whole I would say, no. It is not intrinsic motivation.

Henry was studying two populations of the same species of lizards. One population lived on an island and the other lived on the
Llana [10]

the island is a small specie of lizards so if the mainland specie was a large population it would have been the one to be affected by an increase instead of a decrease. The genetic drift was caused by not having enough of the same kind to keep the heredity going, most likely the largest population is the one that had enough of the same heredity to keep the population of lizards going. In a way the hurricane with the force on both species caused a genetic drift but increased a larger population for a year later.
