Question 2

The sex chromosome that is responsible fer determining maleness in humans and other mammals
- The body cells of normal males possess one of these and one X chromosome (XY)
- This is much smaller than the X chromosome and is thought to carry just a handful of functioning genes
- Hence, males are far more susceptible to sex linked diseases than females, because this cannot counteract any defective genes carried on the X chromosome

Y Chromosome

Answer 4

Yerkes Dodson Law

Question 5

A procedure to ensure experimental control (eg; baseline measures) in operant conditioning in which the rate of responding of an experimental subject is yoked - and, thus, compared - with that of a control subject
- The subject and the control receive reinforcers or punishers on the same schedule, but the subject’s receipt is dependent on behavior, whereas the control’s is independent of behavior
- For example, in one condition a nonhuman animal might press a lever so as to avoid electric shocks
- In this condition, the same temporal pattern of shocks received in the first case would be presented to the control animal independently of its behavior

Answer 5

Yoked Control

Question 6

A theory to explain color vision in terms of components or processes sensitive to three different parts of the spectrum corresponding to the colors red, green, and blue
- According to this theory, other colors are perceived by stimulation of two of the three processes, while light that stimulates all three processes equally is perceived as white
- The components are now thought to be retinal cones, although the original theory was not tied to a particular (or indeed to any) cell type [Thomas Young (1773 - 1829), British physician and physicist; Hermann Ludwig Ferdinand von Helmholtz (1821- 1894), German physiologist and physicist]
