question 164

Multiple Choice

Trace the gustatory pathway from the taste receptors to the cerebral cortex.

• A)taste receptors - facial,glossopharyngeal,and vagus nerves - synapse in the solitary nucleus of the medulla oblongata - medial lemniscus - synapse in the thalamus - gustatory cortex of the insula
• B)taste receptors - hypoglossal,glossopharyngeal,and accessory nerves - synapse in the solitary nucleus of the medulla oblongata - medial lemniscus - synapse in the thalamus - gustatory cortex of the insula
• C)taste receptors - facial,glossopharyngeal,and vagus nerves - lateral lemniscus - synapse in the solitary nucleus of the medulla oblongata - synapse in the thalamus - gustatory cortex of the insula
• D)taste receptors - hypoglossal,glossopharyngeal,and accessory nerves - medial lemniscus - synapse in the thalamus - synapse in the solitary nucleus of the medulla oblongata -gustatory cortex of the insula

Definitions:

Plant Clones

Plants produced asexually from a single ancestor that possess the exact genetic makeup of the original plant.

Peter And Rosemary Grant

Evolutionary biologists known for their long-term study of Darwin's finches, which demonstrated natural selection in action on the Galápagos Islands.

Evolution By Natural Selection

A fundamental mechanism of evolution, proposed by Charles Darwin, where individuals with traits better suited to their environment tend to survive and reproduce, leading to changes in the population over time.

Variation

The differences observed within and among populations in genetically inherited characteristics, essential for natural selection and evolution.
