Answer: yes

Sudden blindness (total or near-total vision loss) in one eye is a medical emergency. In many instances, you have a short window of time for diagnosis and treatment to avoid permanent blindness. Temporary loss of vision may also be a warning sign of a serious problem, such as stroke

Explanation:

According to Scientific American.org, "Consider the case of a man known as GY. Damage to his visual cortex resulted in complete blindness in one half of the visual field. He could not consciously see anything, not even a spot of light, shown to him in that region. Yet when asked to reach out and touch the spot, he could do so accurately; he could touch a spot he couldn’t see! It seems downright spooky, but, as you will soon learn, we can explain—at least partially—his condition, known as blindsight, in terms of the multiple specialized anatomical pathways devoted to vision that we mentioned earlier. [For more on blindsight, see 'Subconscious Sight,' by Susana Martinez-Conde; Scientific American Mind, April/May 2008.]"

Yes, because the occipital lobe controls vision, not the eyes. So, the eyes can have no problems and a person can be blind if they have serious damage to their occipital lobe.

How do endophytes affect grazing animals
nika2105 [10]
Endophytes are known as novel, selected, or livestock friendly. Grazing grass or feeding products from these endophyte-infected plants does not adversely affect livestock. In these strains, natural mutations eliminate some or all of the genes required to produce a functional ergot alkaloid.

What are the treatment of patient with deficiency of argininosuccinate lyse​
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

Long-term therapy should involve a low-protein diet and arginine supplementation. This diet helps produce equivalent quantities of ornithine for enhancement of urea cycle activity up to the point of argininosuccinate (ASA) lyase and, thus, enhances waste nitrogen incorporation.

Microfilaments and microtubules are part of the __________ of a cell.
xxMikexx [17]

Answer: Option A. "Cytoskeleton"

Explanation:

Cytoskeleton can be defined as the network of protein filaments in the cytoplasm eukaryotic cells interlinking from cell nucleus to cell membrane.

There are three basic types of protein fibers present in cytoskeleton that includes micro filaments (Actin filaments ), microtubules and intermediate filaments.

Microfilaments are consist many linked monomers of a protein known as actin, that combines in a double helix with a diameter of about 7 nano-meter and functions as serving tracks for myosin (motor protein).

Microtubules are arranged in a form of hollow straw like structure made up of consist of tubulin proteins having diameter of about 25 nano-meter and further consist of two subunits, α-tubulin and β-tubulin.

Intermediate filaments are the cytoskeletal element which are made up of multiple strands of fibrous proteins wounded together having an average diameter of 8 to 10 nano-meter.
