Chapter 15, Problem 15.1.1AYLO
Summary Introduction
To write:
The weight of an adult brain.
Introduction:
The nervous system of a human is divided into two subdivisions: the central nervous system or CNS (includes the spinal cord and the brain) and the peripheral nervous system or PNS (includes rest all parts of the nervous system except spinal cord and brain).
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
The brain, which is a part of the central nervous system of a vertebrate, has changed a lot during evolution while the spinal cord has evolved very little. The weight of the brain is similar to that of the spinal cord in most of the vertebrates, while in humans, it is 55 times more than that of the spinal cord.
In humans, the brain of an adult male weighs about 1,600 g while in females it weighs about 1,450 g. The difference is due to the difference in body size between the two sexes and is not related to intelligence.
Conclusion
The typical weight of an adult brain in human males is about 1,600 g, and in an adult female, it is about 1,450 g.

- Your goal is to produce black seeds resistant to mold. So you make the same cross again (between a homozygous black seeded, mold susceptible parent and a homozygous white seeded and mold resistant parent), and, again, advance progeny by SSD to create 100 F10 generation plants. Based on the information you obtained from your first crossing experiment (Question #4), how many F10 plants would you expect to have black seeds and be resistant to mold? Assume that a toxin produced by the mold fungus has been isolated. Only mold resistant seeds will germinate in the presence of the toxin. Could you use this toxin screening procedure to have segregation distortion work in your favor in the F2 generation? Explain your answer. Info from Question 4 a. P Locus (Seed Color): Hypothesis: The null hypothesis (H₀) is that seed color is controlled by alleles at a single locus.

Punnett squares use mathematical probability to help predict the genotype and phenotype combinations in genetic crosses. The number of possible alleles from each parent determines the number of rows and columns in the Punnett square. Independent Assortment KEY QUESTION How do alleles segregate when more than one gene is involved? Mendel wondered if the segregation of one pair of alleles affects another pair. For example, does the gene that determines the shape of a seed affect the gene for seed color? This type of experiment is known as a two-factor, or dihybrid, cross because it involves two different genes. Single-gene crosses are monohybrid crosses.

- Humans consider themselves amazingly clever and innovative, constantly developing "new" ways of altering the world around us.
