Body parts that are closer to one another in the body also tend to be closer together in these cortices. They are located next to each other in the brain. The connections to body parts are fixed and cannot change. Some body parts are associated with larger spaces in the somatosensory cortex than in the motor cortex. Plss! Thank you :)

Expert Solution

Step 1

The Theory of Natural Selection was propounded by Charles Darwin. It was an Evolutionary theory, signifying how species survive and pass on their species and characteristics down from generations to generations.

This theory has very well been able to explain how a particular species maintains it's survival and carries out functions.
