If you were given a map of the sensory cortex in the postcentral gyrus of the cerebrum, do you think the map would have more “space” devoted to the regions of the body that have the highest density of sensory receptors, or the regions of the body that have the lowest density of sensory receptors? explain

The hypothesis of continental drift states that earth's continents, which are located on tectonic plates, move relative to each other. which of the following is true of the movement of the tectonic plates? a. tectonic plates only move once every million years. b. they move at a rate of approximately 5 centimeters per year. c. tectonic plates never move, only the continents located on them do. d. their movements are very rapid and occur at random times.

Read the following scenario to answer the following question. over the past 60 years, many amphibian species have experienced significant population declines, and some species have become extinct. scientists suspected that local human activities such as the destruction of wetlands, regional pollution, and deforestation were the main reasons for these losses. however, research over the past 20 years reveals significant amphibian population declines in protected areas of the world, such as nature preserves and parks. these global declines suggest widespread problems including increased ultraviolet radiation, acid rain, and disease. in switzerland, for example, 14 of the 20 native amphibian species are threatened with extinction. when most populations of a wide-ranging amphibian species are lost and the few remaining populations are widely separated, we expect to see that a. the founder effect becomes increasingly important b. microevolution no longer occurs c. gene flow between populations is reduced d. artificial selection becomes a greater factor in microevolution
