How would you explain that your brain is “plastic”? How does this help us learn?

Biology

ICE Princess25 [194]2 years ago

Answer:

Plasticity is the capacity of the brain to change with learning. Changes associated with learning occur mostly at the level of connections between neurons: New connections form and the internal structure of the existing synapses change. ... Plastic changes also occur in musicians brains compared to non-musicians.

A cross is made between homozygous wild-type female Drosophila (a^+ a^+ b^+ b^+ c^+ c^+) and triple-mutant males (aa bb cc) (the
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

a is the middle gene.

Distance [b-a]= 24.7 mu

Distance [a-c]= 15.8 mu

Distance [b-a} = 40.5 mu

Explanation:

A homozygous wild-type female drosophila (a⁺b⁺c⁺/a⁺b⁺c⁺) is crossed with a homozygous recessive male (abc/abc). <u>The order of the genes here is arbitrary. </u>

The F1 is heterozygous for the three genes (a⁺b⁺c⁺/abc). The F1 females were test crossed (crossed with abc/abc males).

The F2 shows the following phenotypic ratios:

  • 320 a⁺b⁺c⁺
  • 308 a b c
  • 102 a⁺ b c⁺
  • 112 a b⁺ c
  • 66  a⁺ b⁺ c
  • 59 a b c⁺
  • 18 a⁺ b c
  • 15 a b⁺ c⁺

Total = 1000

The male parent is homozygous recessive for the 3 genes, so the observed phenotypes of the offspring correspond to the gametes received from the mother.

Recombination during meiosis is a rare event, so the most abundant gametes are always the parentals:  a⁺b⁺c⁺ and abc.

The least abundant gametes, following the same logic, are the double crossovers (DCO): a⁺bc and ab⁺c⁺.

<h3><u>1st. Determine the gene order</u></h3>

Compare the parental and the DCO gametes. The allele that is switched corresponds to the middle gene. In this case, gene a is in the middle of the other two.

<h3><u>2nd Determine the single crossover gametes</u></h3>

The F1 mother that generated all 8 types of gametes had the genotype b⁺a⁺c⁺/bac (correct order of genes).

  • The single crossover (SCO) gametes resulting from recombination between genes b and a are b⁺ac and ba⁺c⁺.
  • The single crossover (SCO) gametes resulting from recombination between genes a and c are b⁺a⁺c and bac⁺.
<h3><u>3) Calculate the recombination frequencies between genes </u></h3>

Recombination frequency (RF) = #Recombinants/Total progeny

  • RF [b-a]= (102+112+18+15)/1000= 0.247
  • RF [f-br]= (66+59+18+15)/1000= 0.158
<h3><u /></h3><h3><u>4) Calculate the distance in map units </u></h3>

Distance (mu) = RF x 100

Distance [b-a]= 0.247 × 100 = 24.7 mu

Distance [a-c]= 0.158 × 100 = 15.8 mu

Distance [b-a} = 24.7 mu + 15.8 mu = 40.5 mu

<h3><u>The gene map therefore looks like: </u></h3>

b------------24.7 mu--------------------------a---------15.8 mu-----------c

Explain the 6 steps of how Darwin theorized how the finches formed new species:
Scilla [17]
Overproduction
Most species produce more offspring than can survive.

Competition
Since living space and food are limited, organisms must compete for the necessities.

Variation
Differences between individuals in a population.

Adaptations
Any kind of inherited trait that improves an organism's chances of survival.

Natural selection
The environment selects organisms with optimal traits to be the parents of the next generation.

Speciation
Over many generations, favorable adaptations accumulate and may result in a new species.

When alcohol intake exceeds the body's ability to metabolize it, excess alcohol __________.
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

becomes accumulated in the blood

Explanation:

The processing of alcohol is constant in every individual. The rate at which alcohol stays in someone's body is determined by how much of it is consumed.

Alcohol enters the digestive system once ingested and travels to the stomach and small intestines. The amount of alcohol absorbed in the small intestine enters directly to the bloodstream. Once in the blood, alcohol is circulated with it. The liver is responsible for the metabolic elimination of most (about 95%) of ingested alcohol from the body. If an individual consumes more than this, the system becomes saturated, and the additional alcohol will accumulate in the blood and other tissues until it can be metabolized. If this happens frequently or too fast, damage to the brain and tissues of the body can occur.

Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) depends on the amount of alcohol consumed and the rate at which the individual's body metabolizes alcohol. Because the metabolism of alcohol by the body is constant, taking in alcohol at a rate higher than the rate of metabolizing it results in a cumulative effect and increase in the blood alcohol concentration.

It is important to note that, the more one drinks the longer alcohol stays in the system.
