Question

1. The learning and memory genes that have been discovered in Drosophilabear no relationship or sequence homology to the learning and memory genes that have been discovered in humans.

   True

   False

After long-term habituationof the aplysia gill withdrawal reflex is established, each gill motorneuron might be

predicted to be innervated by:

	A.	the same number of sensory nerve terminals but each terminal would release more         neurotransmitter
	B.	a decreased number of sensory nerve terminals
	C.	it is not possible to make a reasonable prediction based on our knowledge of the system
	D.	an increased number of sensory nerve terminals

Answer 1

1.The learning and memory genes that have been discovered in Drosophila bear no relationship or sequence homology to the learning and memory genes that have been discovered in humans is a FALSE statement. This is because these learning and memory genes are studied in drosophila and applied to humans because they are homologous to each other.

2. After long-term habituationof the aplysia gill withdrawal reflex is established, each gill motorneuron might be predicted to be innervated by:

A. the same number of sensory nerve terminals but each terminal would release more neurotransmitter. This happens due to the sensitisation of the neural response. If you have any query kindly comment before giving thumbs up. Thank you.
