Bipolar neuron has two processes extending from opposite sides of the cell body.

Typically, neurons consist of a cell body and one or more extensions. Dendrites (short extensions with ramifications) and axons are the two forms of extension (just one extension of varying length depending on the cells).

Two processes, oppositely extending from the cell body's ends, are present in bipolar cells. One is the dendrite, the other the axon. Bipolar neurons are not common. They are sensory neurons that can be found in the vestibulocochlear nerve's ganglia, olfactory epithelium, and retina.

Therefore, Bipolar neuron has two processes extending from opposite sides of the cell body.

How would you expect prey to respond to a predator they have never encountered before (a novel predator)? explain your reasoning

jekas [21]

The prey will be confused by the appearance of a new animal, and it will not be sure if it's a predator or harmless animal. This usually causes the prey animals big problems because that confusion usually leads to their death. Also the defensive system that the prey has developed is made for the predators it knows, but is usually ineffective with the newly introduced predators.

Predict how the removal of an herbivore from a food web could affect the entire community

katrin [286]

Plants and animals live in interacting, interwined communities. There is a characteristic set of species in different environments. For example, certain species of trees, shrubs, ground cover, arthropods, reptiles, mammals, birds etc. live in a temperate forest environment. A completely different set of creatures live in a marsh, or a grassland or an agroecosystem. However, the relationships between these groups can be defined by the ecological role they play, the flow of energy between them and the cycling of nutrients between them. This is a fancy way of saying "everything is connected"! And if you change one part of the system, something else changes. In an ecosystem management decision, you hope you know what those consequences of your actions are!) This is important in managing agroecosystems as well.

which pattern of inheritance is responsible for a wide range of phenotypes that result from the individual organisms having many

Stella [2.4K]

The answer is polygenic inheritance.

Polygenic inheritance is responsible for traits that are controlled by two or more genes. It is also called multiple gene inheritance. Examples of polygenic inheritance are height, weight, skin color, eye color.
Since a great number of genes control one trait, it is expected that each one has a relatively small effect
