Answer:

- Medulla: transmits signals between the spinal cord and higher brain levels

- Pons: transmits impulses related to the voluntary skeletal movements from the cerebrum to the cerebellum

- Cerebellum: coordinates skeletal muscle contraction, conscious/subconscious movements, maintains muscle posture, and balance

- Thalamus: regulation of the human nervous system

- Hypothalamus: maintains the overall homeostasis of the body

- Amygdala: processes fearful and threatening stimuli  

- Hippocampus: regulates learning, memory encoding and consolidation, and spatial navigation

- Parietal Lobe: processes information from the outside world (e.g., touch, taste, temperature)

- Occipital Lobe: interprets information from the eyes

- Temporal Lobes:  process sensory information (i.e., pain and auditory stimuli)

- Frontal Lobe:  higher cognitive functions (e.g., memory, problem-solving, emotions, impulse control, etc)

Explanation:

The medulla (medulla oblongata) is the lowest portion of the brainstem, which is linked by the pons to the midbrain and continues with the spinal cord. The medulla is known to transmit signals between the spinal cord and higher brain levels, thereby controlling autonomic activities (e.g., heartbeat and respiration). The pons is a mass of transverse nerve fibers that links the medulla with the cerebellum, it transmits signals from the forebrain to the cerebellum. The pons is involved in different functions, e.g., sleep, respiration, hearing, equilibrium, taste, eye movement, swallowing, bladder regulation, facial expression, etc. The cerebellum is a small part of the brain involved in physical movements (e.g., posture, balance, coordination), which receives sensory information from sensory systems, the spinal cord, and different parts of the brain. The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain, it is involved in speech, thinking, reasoning, problem-solving, emotions, initiating/coordinating movements, regulating temperature, learning, etc. The thalamus is a mass of gray matter located in the forebrain which is involved in diverse functions (i.e., relay of sensory signals, regulation of consciousness, sleep, alertness, etc). The hypothalamus is a small, central, area of the brain that connects the nervous to the endocrine system that acts to maintain the overall homeostasis of the body. The amygdala is a structure located in each hemisphere of the brain that processes fearful and threatening stimuli. The hippocampus is a structure located in the depths of the temporal lobe that regulates learning, memory encoding and consolidation, and spatial navigation. The parietal lobe is located at the upper back area in the skull, it is involved in processing sensory information from the surrounding world (e.g., touch, taste, temperature). The occipital lobes are responsible for transmitting visual information to the temporal lobes, and they are also associated with memory skills. The frontal lobe is the most anterior part of the brain, which is involved in higher cognitive functions (e.g., social interaction, motor function, memory, emotions, impulse control, problem-solving, etc).

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

A. Taxa are based on Latin, not English.

Explanation:

In the classification of organism, the child choose English as primary language but scientists uses Latin language as a primary language for their taxa.

Swedish scientist Carl Linnaeus, initiated the classification of organism and he choose Latin names for different taxa such as phyla and species because Latin was a universal scholarly language in Europe.

So, till now scientists uses Latin language for the naming of organisms and the child uses English language.

Hence, the correct answer is A. Taxa are based on Latin, not English.

What is the correct order of genetic material from smallest to largest?
Ede4ka [16]

Answer: allele, gene, DNA, chromosome, nucleus

Explanation: An allele is a variant of a gene or a different form of a gene. A gene is a segment of a DNA that codes for an RNA or a protein. A DNA is a genetic material that contains all the genetic information of an organism. A DNA is packaged and condensed into a threadlike material known as chromosome and chromosomes are found in the nucleus of a cell.

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

2, 4, and 5 refers to scientific revolution while on the other hand, the remaining statements shows scientific observation.

Explanation:

Cloning has the potential to  significantly benefit a great many  people, so it should not be  considered immoral or risky is refers as scientific observation.

A scientist thinks that he might  find serious inconsistencies in the  fossil record if he conducts an  excavation in a new location is refers scientific explanation because explanation is needed for it which can drawn from the scientific observation.

The rocks present in western Africa  and eastern South America formed  at the same place and at the  same time is scientific observation because the scientists takes the data.

Even if modern organisms are  found in ancient portions of the  fossil record, this wouldn't challenge the theory of evolution in any way is refers to scientific explanation.

The cloning of organisms is an  exciting area of study, and more  resources should be be devoted  to it so it is refers as scientific explanation.

The age, type, and composition of  ancient rocks in western Africa are  nearly identical to the age, type,  and composition of rocks in  eastern South America is scientific observation which is taken by the scientist through research.
