Introduction:
Imprinting is a very important concept for mankind as it helps in the domestication of animals.

Answer to Problem 4STP
Correct answer:
The correct answer is option (d) Imprinting
Explanation of Solution
Explanation/justification for the correct answer:
Option (d) Imprinting is the early period in an animal's life when it forms attachments and learns about its own identity. Animals are born with a by-birth drive that helps them to imprint their mother.
Explanation for incorrect answer:
Option (a) Classical Conditioning is a learning process that occurs when two stimuli are repeatedly paired. It is a response that is first drawn out by the second stimulus and then later by the first stimulus. It is the learning through association when two responses are joined together to form a new learned response or stimuli in a person or an animal.
Option (b) fixed action pattern describes a sequence in behavior which is formed by the innate mechanism. They are the actions that any species is programmed to do. Example: when a type of goose sees its eggs lying outside the nest it rolls them back in the nest with the help of beak.
Option (c) Habituation is a form of response to a stimulus that decreases after repeated or prolonged presentations of that stimulus. For example, a new sound in your environment may initially draw your attention or even become distracting but later with some passing of the time, the attention towards it decreases.
Imprinting is a learned behavior that occurs at a very critical time in the life of an animal as this is the time when the young ones need protection and this behavior develop in the baby by birth and so they keep following their mother.

What are four derivatives of the cranial neural crest that you expect to see in the resulting chimeric embryos?arrow_forwardDoes the neural crest have to undergo epithelial to mesenchymal transition prior to migration through the developing embryo? Does the neural crest differentiate into different cell types based on their axial position along the anterior and posterior axis?arrow_forwardUsing quail and chicken embryos, what kind of experiment would you conduct to test if rib forming somites have their axial identity specified before segmentation? How do we know this phenotype is due to axial identity being specified before segmentation and not due to our experimental method?arrow_forward

The lipid is composed of one glycerol molecule connected to two fatty acid tails. One fatty acid is 12 carbons long and the other fatty acid is 18 carbons long in the figure below. Use the information below to determine how much ATP will be produced from the glycerol part of the lipid. Then, in part B, determine how much ATP is produced from the 2 fatty acids of the lipid. Finally put the NADH and ATP yields together from the glycerol and fatty acids (part A and B) to determine your total number of ATP produced per lipid.
