Explanation of Solution

Structurally, the brain is sub-divided into many important anatomical regions, including the cerebrum, thalamus, cerebellum, hypothalamus, and brain stem.

The whole upper region of the skull is filled with Cerebrum. The cerebrum controls language, voluntary movement, sensation, memory, and decision making.

Thalamus relays information between the cerebrum and the spinal cord. The first part of the brain which receives message signaling such sensation as pain, pressure, and the temperature is thalamus.

The hypothalamus is the control center of sex drive, pleasure, pain, hunger, thrust, blood pressure, and body temperature. It also releases hormones including those regulating the production of egg cells and sperms as well as the menstruation cycle.

The cerebellum controls muscle movement, balance, and coordination. It looks like the smaller form of the cerebrum.

The brain stem consists of the pons, midbrain, and medulla oblongata. Midbrain is the uppermost area of the brain stem which adjusts the sensitivity of our eyes to light and ears to sound. Below the midbrain is the pons which functions as a bridge. The midbrain allows messages to travel from brain to the spinal cord. Medulla oblongata is the brain stem's lowest area. It helps to control the heart rate and conveys information between the spinal cord and other parts of the brain.

The figure shows the various region of the brain-

P You are studying a population of 100 flowers that has two alleles at a locus for flower color, blue (B) and green (G). There are 15 individuals with the BB genotype, 70 individuals with the BG genotype, and 15 individuals with the GG genotype. (a) What are the allele frequencies of B and G in the starting population?

In a natural population of outbreeding plants, the variance of the total number of seeds per plant is 16. From the natural population, 20 plants are taken into the laboratory and developed into separate true-breeding lines by self- fertilization-with selection for high, low, or medium number of seeds-for 10 generations. The average variance in the tenth generation in each of the 20 sets is about equal and averages 5.8 across all the sets. Estimate the broad-sense heritability for seed number in this population.
