To determine: The way in which the experiment conducted by Schmithorst and Holland differs from that of Gaser and Schlaug.
Introduction: Christian Gaser and Gottfried Schlaug worked to determine the size and structure of brain in different people. Vincent Schmithorst and Scott Holland worked upon the results of the experiments conducted by Gaser and Schlaug. They used the fMRI method to study the differences in the brain of musicians and non-musicians. fMRI (functional MRI) is better and enhanced version of the MRI.
To determine: Whether the results given by Schmithorst and Holland were supportive of Gaser and Schlaug’s hypothesis or not.

Which approach is more likely to consider emergent properties?arrow_forwardName: Date: Galapagos Finch Evolution (HHMI Biointeractive) - https://voutu be/mcM23M-CCog ~16 minutes 1. What is the "mystery of mysteries? 2. The Grants' study on the island of Daphne Major studied what organisms? 3. Where did the 13 species of finches on the islands come from? 4. How did the Grants catch the finches? 5. What features did they measure? 6. What happened in 1977 to the island? 7. What type of birds were more likely to survive after this event? 8. After the El Nino event in 1983, which birds were more likely to survive? 9. What keeps different species from mating on the Galapagos islands? 10. The most likely scenario explaining the different finches on the islands is that: a) different birds migrated to different islands b) one species evolved into many different species 11. Examine the graph below.

- Imperial China during the Ming dynasty (1368-1644 CE) could conceivably have started the Scientific Revolution before Europe; its failure to do so might have resulted (at least in part) from each of the following factors except: Chinese colleges were under Imperial control, not independently-chartered as in Europe military expenditures were diverted from ship-building to land-based armed forces foreign trade was dominated by the Imperial Navy, with no profit motive for merchants European sailing vessels of that time were much larger than Chinese treasure ships Chinese religion was polytheistic, while the central government at that time was strongarrow_forwardPart 2: Investigation: Comparing the Ideas of Darwin and Lamarck Pre-Lab questions 1.

Does the phylogeny shown above support the claim humans did not hybridize with Neanderthals in the past? How can you tell? b) Once nuclear DNA sequencing became fast and able to handle sequencing ancient DNA, living humans were found to have some Neanderthal genes. Is this finding clear evidence that some early modern humans did indeed hybridize with Neanderthals? Why? c) Did female H. sapiens hybridize with Neanderthal males to produce fertile offspring that then back-crossed with modern humans? What does the graph say about this? d) Did male H. sapiens hybridize with Neanderthal females that then back-crossed with modern humans? What does the graph say about this?
