Chapter 33, Problem 1TY
Summary Introduction

Introduction:

The nervous system is defined as the network of neurons spread throughout the body and

conducts the signals between different body parts. It is majorly divided into the central nervous

system and peripheral nervous system. The coordination between the two mediates different

functions performed by the body.

Answer to Problem 1TY

The correct answer is option (c) the central nervous system.

Explanation of Solution

Explanation/justification for the correct answer:

Option (c) the central nervous system. The central nervous system is mainly involved in controlling functions like movements, awareness, thoughts, sensations, memory, and speech. It consists of the brain and the spinal cord which are involved in the processing of sensory inputs and sends motor signals. Hence, this option is correct.

Explanation for incorrect answer:

Option (a) the peripheral nervous system. The Peripheral nervous system has a network of nerves present all over the body and connects to the CNS. Thus, it does not constitute the brain and the spinal cord. Hence, this option is incorrect.

Option (b) the efferent division of the nervous system. The efferent division connects the central nervous system to the effector system and thus allows the CNS to control various responses. Hence, this option is incorrect.

Option (d) autonomic nervous system. It is a division of the peripheral nervous system and regulates digestion, sexual arousal, respiration, blood pressure, and heart rate. Thus, it does not constitute the brain and the spinal cord. Hence, this option is incorrect.

Option (e) the central and peripheral nervous system. The CNS and the PNS are the two major divisions of the nervous system but the brain and the spinal cord are part of the central nervous system only. Hence, this option is incorrect.

Using Punnett Squares Punnett squares are one good way to predict the outcome of genetic crosses. 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. Visual Reading Tool: Two-Factor Cross: F₂ The Punnett square shows the results of self-crossing the F, generation of a cross between round yellow peas and wrinkled green peas. 1. List the different genotypes in the F, generation. What is the…
CHAPTER 12 LESSON 2 Applying Mendel's Principles READING TOOL Connect to Visuals Before you read, preview Figure 12-7. Try to infer the purpose of this diagram. As you read, compare your inference to the text. After you read, revise your statement if needed or write a new one about the diagram's purpose. Take notes on the lines provided. Then view the Punnett square and answer the questions below regarding the genotypes and phenotypes. Inference: Revision: Parent 2 rryy Gametes F ry Parent 1 RRYY Gametes RY RrYy The F, generation are all RrYy. 1. What is the phenotype of parent 1?. 2. What is the genotype of parent 1? 3. What is the phenotype of parent 2? 4. What is the genotype of parent 2? 5. What is the phenotype of the F, offspring?. 6. What is the genotype of the F, offspring?. 7. What kind of cross does this figure describe? 144 Chanter 12 Introduction to Genetice Copyright Pearson Education Inc. or its affiliator. All rights reserved.
