Wurtz, goldberg, and robinson showed that the firing rates of neurons in the parietal cortex are enhanced when an animal subsequently makes a saccade to a target within that neuron's receptive field. what is the explanation for this finding?

Which of the following are false concerning microbes? a. microbes generate oxygen through photosynthesis. b. the primary role of microbes on the planet involves causing disease in animals and humans. c. microbes produce vitamins in the intestines. d. microbes play a role in breaking down waste and decomposing dead organisms.

Which of the following statements are true chromosomes make up genes

The tasmanian devil, a marsupial carnivore, is facing extinction due to devil facial tumor disease (dftd) which causes bulging cancerous lumps and lesions to erupt around the face and neck — often causing enough deformation to make seeing or eating difficult. dftd has evolved into a contagious cancer, a trait that is unique among cancers. devil mating behavior involves biting around the head and neck, allowing cells from one individual — especially cells from the crumbly dftd tumors — to be transferred to the wounds or face of a new individual. this marsupial was once found across australia, but sea levels rose, isolating the tasmanian population, while the australian population went extinct. what would be an outcome of genetic isolation that is likely to have impacted the spread of dftd? a) reduced territory puts diseased individuals in greater contact with non-diseased ones. b) inbreeding results in less variation in facial features so the cancer is generally fatal. c) genetic isolation has made it difficult for scientists to develop a vaccine against dftd. d) the lack of genetic variation in the immune system of tasmanian devils minimizes resistance to the disease.
