When a cat's whiskers are touched, it is primarily the somatosensory cortex in the temporal lobe that processes this sensory input. The somatosensory cortex is responsible for interpreting touch sensations, including those from the whiskers. This area helps the cat respond to stimuli by twitching or adjusting its behavior based on the tactile feedback.

If one parent seal is a heterozygous long-whisker and the other is short whiskers what is the probability that the offspring will have short whiskers?

If one parent seal is heterozygous for long whiskers (let's denote long whiskers as "L" and short whiskers as "l"), their genotype would be Ll. The other parent, having short whiskers, would be homozygous recessive (ll). The possible offspring genotypes from these parents would be Ll and ll, resulting in a 50% probability of the offspring inheriting short whiskers (ll). Thus, there is a 50% chance that the offspring will have short whiskers.
