Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Integration by nervous system is a process in which the sensory input is processed and interpreted by the nervous system. On the basis of this interpretation, the decision of what must be done at each moment is taken.

Answer to Problem 1MC

Correct answer:

An example of integration via the nervous system is the decision to go back for an umbrella.

Justification for the correct answer:

Option (d) is given that the decision to go back for an umbrella is an example of integration via the nervous system. In this example, the decision is made by the nervous system by processing and interpreting the input. Thus, it is an example of integration via the nervous system. Hence, option (d) is correct.

Explanation of Solution

Explanation for incorrect answers:

Option (a) is given that the feel of a cold breeze is an example of integration via the nervous system. In this example, no decision is made by the nervous system by the processing and interpretation of the input. So, it is an incorrect option.

Option (b) is given that shivering as well as goosebumps in response to cold are an example of integration by the nervous system. In this example also, no decision is made via the nervous system. So, it is an incorrect option.

Option (c) is given that perceiving the sound of rain is an example of integration via the nervous system. In the given example, the nervous system does not make any decision. So, it is an incorrect option.

Hence, options (a), (b), and (c) are incorrect.

Conclusion

In integration via the nervous system, the nervous system processes the input and then interprets it to decide about the action that must be taken.

Three of the many recessive mutations in Drosophila melanogaster that affect body color, wing shape, or bristle morphology are black (b) body versus grey in wild type, dumpy (dp), obliquely truncated wings versus long wings in the male, and hooked (hk) bristles versus not hooked in the wild type.  From a cross of a dumpy female with a black and hooked male, all of the F1 were wild type for all three of the characters.  The testcross of an F1 female with a dumpy, black, hooked male gave the following results:   Trait Number of individuals Wild type 169 Black 19 Black, hooked 301 Dumpy, hooked 21 Hooked, dumpy, black 172 Dumpy, black 6 Dumpy 305 Hooked 8   Determine the order of the genes and the mapping distance between genes. Determine the coefficient of confidence for the portion of the chromosome involved in the cross. How much interference takes place in the cross?
What happens to a microbes membrane at colder temperature?
Genes at loci f, m, and w are linked, but their order is unknown.  The F1 heterozygotes from a cross of FFMMWW x ffmmww are test crossed.  The most frequent phenotypes in the test cross progeny will be FMW and fmw regardless of what the gene order turns out to be.  What classes of testcross progeny (phenotypes) would be least frequent if locus m is in the middle? What classes would be least frequent if locus f is in the middle? What classes would be least frequent if locus w is in the middle?
