The correct option is D

Neurotransmitters are released from axon terminals via exocytosis.

A neurotransmitter is stored inside synaptic vesicles which is a small sac-like structure. It is released into the synaptic cleft from axon terminals when a cell membrane fuses with vesicles. This process is termed exocytosis with the capability to release neurotransmitters in less than a millisecond.

In neurons of the nervous system, synaptic vesicle exocytosis occurs. Nerve cells communicate by electrical or chemical signals called neurotransmitters which are passed from one neuron to the next one. This transmission of neurotransmitters occurs by exocytosis.

The fundamental biological events of neurotransmission are dependent on neuronal communication and brain function including exocytosis of presynaptic vesicles which is for the release of neurotransmitters and the subsequent endocytosis.

Spanish influenza is thought to be caused by
s2008m [1.1K]

The "Spanish" influenza pandemic of 1918–1919, which caused ≈50 million deaths worldwide, remains an ominous warning to public health. Many questions about its origins, its unusual epidemiologic features, and the basis of its pathogenicity remain unanswered. The public health implications of the pandemic therefore remain in doubt even as we now grapple with the feared emergence of a pandemic caused by H5N1 or other virus. However, new information about the 1918 virus is emerging, for example, sequencing of the entire genome from archival autopsy tissues. But, the viral genome alone is unlikely to provide answers to some critical questions. Understanding the 1918 pandemic and its implications for future pandemics requires careful experimentation and in-depth historical analysis.

Maru [420]

Answer:

The correct answer is - d.  gradualism.

Explanation:

Gradualism is a model of evolution that explains that the smaller variation in an individual organism that is occurring over a period of the time is to the betterment of the organism in their environment.

These changes or variations allow them to thrive and survive with a slow successive change in an evolutionary line or the whole population. It is a consistent process.

Thus, the correct answer is - D. gradualism.
