Answer the following question given this paragraph: Left Brain, Right Brain Popular media often refer to right-brained and left-brained people, as if the brain were two independent halves that work differently for different people. This is a popular misinterpretation of an important neurological phenomenon. As an extreme measure to deal with a debilitating condition, the corpus callosum may be sectioned to overcome intractable epilepsy. When the connections between the two cerebral hemispheres are cut, interesting effects can be observed. If a person with an intact corpus callosum is asked to put their hands in their pockets and describe what is there on the basis of what their hands feel, they might say that they have keys in their right pocket and loose change in the left. They may even be able to count the coins in their pocket and say if they can afford to buy a candy bar from the vending machine. If a person with a sectioned corpus callosum is given the same instructions, they will do something quite peculiar. They will only put their right hand in their pocket and say they have keys there. They will not even move their left hand, much less report that there is loose change in the left pocket. The reason for this is that the language functions of the cerebral cortex are localized to the left hemisphere in 95 percent of the population. Additionally, the left hemisphere is connected to the right side of the body through the corticospinal tract and the ascending tracts of the spinal cord. Motor commands from the precentral gyrus control the opposite side of the body, whereas sensory information processed by the postcentral gyrus is received from the opposite side of the body. For a verbal command to initiate movement of the right arm and hand, the left side of the brain needs to be connected by the corpus callosum. Language is processed in the left side of the brain and directly influences the left brain and right arm motor functions, but is sent to influence the right brain and left arm motor functions through the corpus callosum. Likewise, the left-handed... Q: What is the connection between the two hemispheres of the brain called? Choices: - cerebral cortex - spinal cord - cranial septum - corpus callosum A:
corpus callosum
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Some arthropods have special excretory structures. They are called coxal glands and Malphigian tubules. Coxal glands collect and concentrate liquid waste from blood. They excrete the waste from the body through a pore. Malphigian tubules carry waste from the digestive tract to the anus. The waste is excreted through the anus. Q: In arthropods, coxal glands and malphigian tubules perform what role? Choices: - ingestion - reproduction - photosynthesis - excretion A:
excretion
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Both mitosis and meiosis result in eukaryotic cells dividing. So what is the difference between mitosis and meiosis? The primary difference is the differing goals of each process. The goal of mitosis is to produce two daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell, meaning the new cells have exactly the same DNA as the parent cell. Mitosis happens when you want to grow, for example. You want all your new cells to have the same DNA as the previous cells. The goal of meiosis, however, is to produce sperm or eggs, also known as gametes . The resulting gametes are not genetically identical to the parent cell. Gametes are haploid cells, with only half the DNA present in the diploid parent cell. This is necessary so that when a sperm and an egg combine at fertilization , the resulting zygote has the correct amount of DNAnot twice as much as the parents. The zygote then begins to divide through mitosis. Q: Both mitosis and meiosis result in eukaryotic cells doing what? Choices: - multiplication - friction - limiting - dividing A:
A: dividing
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Since the mid 1800s, Earth has warmed up quickly. Look at Figure below . The 14 hottest years on record have all occurred since 1900. Eight of them have occurred since 1998! This is what is usually meant by global warming . Q: Eight of the hottest years on record have occurred since what year? Choices: - 2002 - 1997 - 1991 - 1998 A:
Answer: 1998
*Question*
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Asexual reproduction involves just one parent. It produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent. Methods of asexual reproduction include binary fission, fragmentation, and budding. Q: What type of reproduction only involves one parent? Choices: - primitive - organic - binary - asexual A:
**Answer**
asexual
(Q).
Answer the following question given this paragraph: All plants have a characteristic life cycle that includes alternation of generations . Plants alternate between haploid and diploid generations. Alternation of generations allows for both asexual and sexual reproduction. Beginning with the diploid sporophyte , spores form from meiosis. Asexual reproduction with spores produces haploid individuals called gametophytes , which produce haploid gametes by mitosis. Sexual reproduction with gametes and fertilization produces the diploid sporophyte. A typical plant's life cycle is diagrammed in Figure below . Q: What does sexual reproduction with gametes and fertilization produce? Choices: - haploid zygote - sister chromatids - identical twins - diploid sporophyte A:
(A).
diploid sporophyte
