The following passage comes from an abstract in a study about analyzing hearing
loss in twins:
"A clinical and genetic study on 25 twin pairs with at least one deaf member was
performed. Concordance rate of hearing loss was 0.88 in MZ and 0.50 in DZ pairs"
(MZ =monozygotic or identical twins. DZ -Dizygotic or fraternal twins). From this
data alone, what can you conclude about the roles of environment and genetics in
hearing loss? Explain how you reached your conclusion.
Ture or False:(T/F) A bee would detect the odor of the flowers using trichoid sensilla located on the antennae and the olfactory information would be processed in the glomeruli of the deuterocerbrum and incorporated into olfactory learning in the corpora pedunculata of the protocerebrum.(T/F) A bee would monitor and control flight speed using interommatidial hairs and the optomotor response.(T/F) Stresses and strains on the exoskeleton during flight would be monitored by basiconic and coeloconic sensilla located in the wing hinge.

Using a nonnutritive nipple attached to a sensing apparatus, DeCasper and Fifer showed that newborns would suck more to hear a tape of their mother's voice compared to a tape of a stranger's voice. Because they were newborns, they must have become familiar with the mother's voice while still in the womb. In a follow-up study, DeCasper and Spence had 16 pregnant mothers read a three minute long passage from the Dr. Seuss book The Cat in the Hat to their fetuses twice a day for the last 6.5 weeks of pregnancy. The mothers were also recorded reading three minute excerpts from two other stories. By the time the babies were born, the researchers calculated, they had heard The Cat in the Hat for about 5 hours. DeCasper and Spence used their sucking test again. The babies sucked more to hear The Cat in the Hat, regardless of whether it was in their mother's voice or another woman's…arrow_forward1.arrow_forward
