Answer:
A sleepy driver rounds a bend and sees a deer standing in the road. The driver snaps to attention and applies the brakes, averting the accident, because his brain was aroused by the <u> Reticular Activating system(RAS).</u>
<u>Explanation:</u>
- Reticular activating system (RAS) is a part of brain that filters the sensory signal that tries to reach our brain.
- However the olfactory Signal do not pass through it .
- Reticular activating system is located at the brain stem little above the spinal column.
- This is an extremely important part of the brain because it sorts various sensory signals into important and non-important ones.
- RAS allows only those information into the brain that needs immediate attention of the conscious mind.
- Hence it is responsible for sudden wakefulness.
- Our sensory organs perceive thousands of information each second and direct them towards the brain.
- If RAS was not there then our brain would have reached a state of confusion every minute and might have failed to give proper response to any of the stimulus.
- In the given situation, the sudden sight of the deer acted as a threatening stimulus.
- This information needed immediate attention of the driver's conscious mind and his brain was thus aroused by the RAS.
Answer:
Explanation:
This is usually because when they first became fossils, they embedded into the ground. Over many years afterwards, more layers came to cover that layer and so on. Newer fossils would be embedded into newer layers. That's why the older ones tend to be found the deeper you look.
Answer:
e. horizontal transfer of genes from a marine bacterium
Explanation:
Horizontal gene transfer is the transfer of genetic material from one independent mature bacterium to another and creates new gene combinations in the recipient bacterium. It mostly occurs between the bacterial of different species and is responsible for the spread of new genetic traits such as antibiotic resistance, digestion of specific substances, virulence, etc.
Transfer of genetic material from the donor to host bacteria can occur in three ways: transformation, transduction, and conjugation. According to the given information, marine Bacteroidetes have enzymes required to digest porphyran and agarose. <em>B. plebeius</em> might have acquired the genes for these enzymes from marine Bacteroidetes by horizontal gene transfer. This resulted in its ability to digest the marine seaweed while its close relative species cannot do so.
Genetic variation happens when one organism in the population mates with a genetically different organism. Same species, different genetics such as color or height/weight.
