28. Which of the following answers are correct?

A. None of the answers provided are correct.

B. A patient has damage to their medulla oblongata. You might expect the heart rate to be abnormal.

C. A person suffers a stroke that affects the left cerebral primary motor cortex. You would suspect that they would have issues with muscle contractions on the right side of their body.

D. A patient has trouble saying the word 'coffee' but knows what coffee is as they can draw it. You might suspect damage to Broca's area.

E. The left and right cerebral hemispheres can 'communicate' with one another by the connection pathway known as the 'corpus callosum.'

F. A patient suffers a blow to the back of their skull. You might expect that the visual cortex could be damaged and therefore expect some issues with integration of visual information.

all options are correct except A

Explanation:

Damage to the medulla oblongata can lead to an abnormal heart rate and also to death s it controls vital autonomic processes such as breathing and heart rate.

The primary motor cerebral cortex on the left side of the brain controls movement/muscle contractions of the right side of the body, the right motor cortex controls movement of the left side of the body.

Damage to the broca area might lead to inability to express language (Broca’s aphasia) as this region is important in language production.

A blow to the back of the head might affect the occipital lobe found at the back of the head and this lobe is associated with interpreting visual stimuli and information.

The corpus callosum functions in connecting the left side of the brain to the right side, with each side called an hemisphere. This connection allow for information to pass between the two halves.

the principle of segregation describes how pairs of gene variants are separated into reproductive cells. from his data, mendel formulated the principle of segregation. we now know that the segregation of genes occurs during meiosis in eukaryotes, which is a process that produces reproductive cells called gametes.
