Answer:

Reflexes are not a function of the spinal cord.

Explanation:

The spinal cord is part of the central nervous system and is made up of neurons that go along it (from the end of the brain stem almost to the bottom of the spine).

The spinal cord receives incoming messages from the peripheral nervous system (including the sensory neurons) and pass on messages from the brain to efferent neurons (motor neurons at muscles).

The spinal cord contributes to learning as it passes on the info received from sensory neurons (that there is an obstacle in the path) to the brain and passes on the response from the brain to the muscles (to lift the foot up higher).

The spinal cord is essential for integration as it passes on sensory information  to the brain to determine motor output.

Reflexes are when sensory information is quickly sent straight to motor neurons to move. It does not need to go to the brain (hence does not need to go to the spinal cord) for the reaction as it would be too slow. This is seen when someone who is paraplegic (paralysed at lower torso) can still move their leg in response to the doctor tapping their knee even when they cannot forcibly move their legs.

Therefore reflexes are not a function of the spinal cord.

Explanation:

डोडो (रफस क्यूक्यूलैटस) एक विलुप्त उड़ान रहित पक्षी है जो हिंद महासागर में मेडागास्कर के पूर्व मॉरीशस के द्वीप के लिए स्थानिकमारी वाला था। डोडो के सबसे करीबी आनुवांशिक रिश्तेदार भी विलुप्त रोड्रिग्स सॉलिटेयर थे, दोनों कबूतरों और कबूतरों के परिवार की उपपरिवार रफैनी थे। डोडो का सबसे करीबी जीवित रिश्तेदार निकोबार कबूतर है। एक सफेद डोडो को कभी रियूनियन के पास के द्वीप पर मौजूद माना जाता था, लेकिन अब रियूनियन इबिस और सफेद डोडो के चित्रों के आधार पर भ्रम की स्थिति पैदा हो गई है।

सबफॉसिल अवशेष दिखाते हैं कि डोडो लगभग 1 मीटर (3 फीट 3 इंच) लंबा था और जंगली में इसका वजन 10.6–17.5 किलोग्राम (23-39 पाउंड) हो सकता है। जीवन में डोडो की उपस्थिति केवल 17 वीं शताब्दी के चित्र, चित्रों और लिखित खातों से ही स्पष्ट होती है। जैसा कि ये काफी भिन्न होते हैं, और केवल कुछ दृष्टांतों को ज्ञात नमूनों से खींचा गया है, जीवन में इसकी सटीक उपस्थिति अनसुलझी बनी हुई है, और इसके व्यवहार के बारे में बहुत कम लोग जानते हैं। हालांकि डोडो को ऐतिहासिक रूप से मोटा और अनाड़ी माना जाता रहा है, लेकिन अब यह माना जाता है कि इसके पारिस्थितिकी तंत्र के लिए इसे अच्छी तरह से अनुकूलित किया गया है। यह भूरा-भूरे रंग की परत, पीले पैर, पूंछ के पंखों के एक गुच्छे, एक ग्रे, नग्न सिर, और एक काले, पीले और हरे रंग की चोंच के साथ चित्रित किया गया है। यह अपने भोजन को पचाने में मदद करने के लिए गिज़र्ड पत्थरों का इस्तेमाल करता था, जिसके बारे में माना जाता है कि इसमें फल भी शामिल हैं, और माना जाता है कि इसका मुख्य निवास स्थान मॉरीशस के सूखे तटीय क्षेत्रों में जंगल रहा है।

Which chromosomal defect is caused when part of a chromosome breaks off and reattaches backward on the same chromosome?
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

Translocation

Explanation:

Translocation is a chromosomal defect in which part of a chromosome breaks off and reattaches backward on the same chromosome.

Translocation can happen due to many reasons like:

A) Some of the changes that arise around the time of conception  or production of sperm or egg.

B) The inheritance of altered chromosome from father or mother.

Translocations can be divided into two forms:

  • Reciprocal translocation
  • Robertsonian translocation.

In reciprocal translocations,  fragments of two chromosomes break off from two different places, break and swap each other's segments. While in  Robertsonian translocation one chromosome attached with other.

Hope it help!
