Question
Chapter 10, Problem 32RA
Summary Introduction
To review:
The number of genes coding for different senses and the level of integration required by brain for the perception of these senses.
Introduction:
Gene is the hereditary unit that is responsible for the characteristics of an individual. Each gene controls the development of one or more traits. One trait can also be governed by more than one gene. The genes or the genetic codes for a trait are inherited from the parents.

Students have asked these similar questions
What are the neural pathways and mechanisms involved in the processing of visual information, and how do they differ from those involved in processing information from other sensory systems such as hearing, taste, and smell?
To what extent is speech production and perception found to correspond to specific cortical loci in the brain? What evidence is there that each process (i.e., production and perception) works independently but also cooperatively?
What are some general similarities in how receptive fields are represented by the nervous system? What advantage does this give us with respect to those senses?

- Why do you think the auditory system has so many stages of processing before the signals reach the auditory cortex, compared to the visual system? Is there a difference in the speed of processing required?arrow_forwardWhich of these is the BEST example of top-down processing? When Sarah listens to someone speaking Spanish, she can easily hear where one words ends and another begins because she is fluent in Spanish. Shane's sense of taste is based primarily on the chemicals that activate receptors on his tongue. John is able to see blue objects because he has cones that respond to short-wavelength light. Tamara's perception of line length is driven primarily by the true length of the line in space.arrow_forwardExplain the normal functioning of the eye to allow us to have visual acuity. What is meant by visual acuity? How does the eye adjust to facilitate this? Specifically, how do changes in near-point accommodation and astigmatism affect acuity? What is the problem with changes in near-point accommodation and astigmatism and why are they problematic? How can each of these be measured? Can these conditions be corrected? If so, how? Do these conditions change as we age?arrow_forward
- The information you receive from each eye is communicated through the optic nerve to the brain. Which of the following statements correctly describes how the visual field is perceived? a. The visual field from the right eye crosses the optic chiasm to the right side of the brain. b. The right visual fields from both eyes are processed on the right side of the cerebrum. c. The visual field from the left eye crosses the optic chiasm to the right side of the brain. d. The left visual fields from both eyes are processed on the right side of the cerebrum.arrow_forwardBased on the number of rods vs cones in the retina [Select] rods greater sensitivity and [Select] cones have greater acuity. havearrow_forwardWhat distinguishes the human visual system's temporal characteristics from its optical characteristics?arrow_forward
- Unilateral Cerebral strokes can cause deficits in motor control, somatic sensation and vision. However, they do not cause deficits in hearing. The explanation for this is: Auditory information does not reach the cortex Auditory information only goes to one hemisphere. Auditory information goes to both hemispheres How are the outer segments of photoreceptors positioned? between bipolar cells and horizontal cells in the outermost layer of the retina in the ganglion cell layer farthest from the pigment epitheliumarrow_forwardHow do our brain translate what we sense into perception?arrow_forwardWhat is the role of transduction in the sensory system?
