The right answer is C. be more susceptible to disease and famine.

A population bottleneck (also known as a genetic bottleneck) is, in the study of biological evolution, an event corresponding to the fact that a substantial proportion of the population of a species disappears or is prevented from to reproduce. There is a significantly different type of demographic bottleneck called the founder effect, which occurs when a subset of a population is, at least as far as reproduction is concerned, isolated from the main group.

Population bottlenecks (or bottlenecks) thus reduce genetic diversity, and hence the ability of people to adapt to new environmental constraints such as climate change, or a decline in available resources. This genetic drift can eliminate certain alleles that could, by natural selection, allow the species to adapt.

C. be more susceptible to disease and famine.
this is because when a population experiences the bottleneck effect, the population is cut down significantly in size.

Which of the following best represents the average rate at which infants grow in height during the first four years after birth?
mixer [17]
3 inches per year best represents the average rate at which infants grow in height during the first four years after birth. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the second option or option "b". The other choices given in the question seems quiet absurd. So by the method of elimination, one can say that option "b" is correct.

The corpus callosum separates the brain into two halves. separates the brain into two halves. is a large network of neurons on t
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

is a thick band of neural fibers enabling communication between the two brain hemispheres.

Explanation:

A brain can be defined as an organ of soft nerve tissue that is found in the skull of vertebrates and it's typically responsible for the coordination of nervous activities, intellect and sensation.

The human brain consists of various sections and these includes;

I. Anterior Cingulate Cortex (ACC) which resembles a bow or collar surrounding the frontal part of the corpus callosum. This is the frontal part of the cingulate cortex which helps to make complex cognitive functions such as impulse control, decision-making, emotions and empathy.

II. Ventral prefrontal cortex in humans are interconnected with the brain and are responsible for the processing of risk, empathy, fear and social decision-making

III. The Cerebral Cortex: this part of the brain primarily comprises of grey matter, foldable sheets of neurons and forms its outermost layer. Therefore, cerebral cortex is known as the outermost layer of the brain (cerebrum) and thus, makes up half of its weight. It is about 2.5 millimeters in thickness and as such it's able to fold.

The corpus callosum is a large, thick band of C-shaped neural fibers found beneath the cerebral cortex and it's saddled with the responsibility of enabling communication between the two brain hemispheres i.e the right hemisphere and the left hemisphere.
