5 True/False Questions

1. blindsight → gap between one neuron and another into which neurotransmtters are released
   (1)

   True        False

2. information processing → technology that alters genetic processes which have resulted from natural selection
   (2)

   True        False

3. cross-sectional studies → studies in which different individuals of different ages are observed
   (1)

   True        False

4. selectionism → nerve cells
   (1)

   True        False

5. natural selection → example of selectionism applied to the evolution of species stating that 1. differences in morphology and behavior among members of a population (variation), 2. result in differential reproductive success (selection) and 3. that successful traits are passed on and increase in the population (retention) producing new variants (organized complexity)
   (5)

   True        False
