Nucleotides are made of a pentode sugar, a phosphate and a nitrogen base. Nucleotides are the building blocks of nucleic acids DNA and RNA which serve as the cell's store house of genetic information. All nucleotides are composed of three parts: a five-carbon sugar, a phosphate and a nitrogen-rich structure called a nitrogenous base. The sugar can be ribose which is found in RNA, or deoxyribose which is found in DNA. The only difference between these two sugars is that deoxyribose has one fewer oxygen atom than ribose.

Axons from mPFC neurons synapse onto intercalated cells in the amygdala that contain the neurotransmitter __________.

sammy [17]

The medial pre Frontal Cortex neurons synapting with the intercalated cells of Amygdala contains GABA as the neurotransmitter.

Option a

Explanation:

The Amygdala has two types of nerve cells getting attached with it primarily. They are the fibres from the mPFC or medial pre Frontal Cortex and the vIPAG or ventrolateral periaqueductal grey. These neurons do have different functions on the whole body.

The fibres from the mPFC do have emotional function on the human body whereas the fibres of vIPAG do have an effect on the muscle tone . And it's seen that both the nerve fibres that are getting attached with the intercalated cells of Amygdala do secrete GABA and are inhibitory GAB Anergic in nature.

Why does the cell replicate its DNA?

Verizon [17]

Explanation:

When cells asexually reproduce they split off from itself, and they have to replicate their DNA so both cells will have it because DNA is what tells the cell what to do, and how to work. The DNA will tell the cell parts all how to do their jobs, and will let the cell know when it should split off from itself. The DNA controls everything in the cell so without it the cell wouldn't know what to do.
