Answer:

axon; dendrite

Explanation:

A neuron has three main parts. These are axons, dendrites, and a cell body. Synapse is the site of communication between two neurons. The first neuron of a synapse is called the presynaptic neuron (sending neuron) while the second one is called the postsynaptic neuron (receiving). The axon of the presynaptic neuron and the dendrites of the postsynaptic neuron communicate with each other at the synapse as the axon of the first neuron delivers the nerve impulse away from the cell body.

Dendrites function as the receiving or input portions of a neuron. The plasma membranes of dendrites have numerous receptor sites for binding chemical messengers from the presynaptic neuron.

MrMuchimi

Answer:

Explanation:

The above mentioned key points are mechanisms by which cells used to correct replication error and repair damaged DNA.

Proof Reading: while printing a page, the typesetter set the types and impression is taken, proof reading is done to correct mistakes if any, and the final printing is done. A similar follow up mechanism is done after DNA synthesis. If DNA polymerase detects an incorrect nucleotide pair, it will remove and replace with the correct nucleotide immediately.

Mismatch Repair:even after DNA synthesis, mismatch area(insertion or deletion) can be identified on the newly synthesized DNA.

In the mismatch repair, specific proteins scan the newly synthesized DNA strand. The mismatch area is identified and loop.

The second protein complex remove the mismatch segment. Finally correct segment is synthesized by the help of DNA polymerase, SSBs and ligase.

DNA damage repair mechanism: when DNA get damaged, there's a repair process that fix the damage. This includes Direct reversal, excision repair and Double stranded break repair

MissTica

Answer:

C.

Explanation:

The small population size means that the new colony may have reduced genetic variation from the original population and that variation, in this case, included the dominant allele for Huntington's disease. Genetic drift, along with natural selection, mutation, and migration, is one of the basic mechanisms of evolution. In this case, it was a chance that the settlers all carried the allele for Huntington's disease.

Wich statement best defines the relationship between work and energy
Blababa [14]

Answer:

Work can be defined as transfer of energy. In physics we say that work is done on an object when you transfer energy to that object. If one object transfers (gives) energy to a second object, then the first object does work on the second object.
