<h2>CNS  </h2>

Explanation:

An example of a myelin producing cell in the CNS is oligodendrocyte

  • The major function of oligodendrocytes is the formation of myelin
  • Myelin acts as an insulator of axonal segments and is a prerequisite for the high velocity of nerve conduction
  • Larger axons form thicker myelin
  • During development, oligodendrocytes arise from precursors located in the sub-ventricular zone such as the sub-ventricular zone of the lateral ventricles for the cerebrum or the fourth ventricle for the cerebellum
  • In the spinal cord, oligodendrocytes originate from the ventral regions of the neural tube and in the optic nerve they migrate into the nerve from the third ventricle
  • It is the oligodendrocyte precursor cells which migrate to their destination where they then differentiate into the more mature oligodendrocytes
  • The proliferation of the oligodendrocyte progenitor cells is controlled by a number of growth factors released predominantly from neurons but also from astrocytes such as platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) or fibroblast growth factor (FGF)

If a single base pair gets damaged and goes missing from an rna, what would most likely happen?
Vilka [71]

A frame-shift mutation would occur. This is because a deletion will cause a change in codon sequence from the point of mutation to the end of the mRNA.  If the mutation is closer to the start of the mRNA, the larger the effect of the mutation on the translated protein.

What happens as pigments are mixed together?
andriy [413]
When pigments are mixed together, more colors are being absorbed which results to few colors that will be reflected. Each pigment absorbs and reflects light which results to the "color" or hue that we see. When these pigments are to be mixed, then more wavelengths would be absorbed which results to lesser reflection.

What is an example of a stimulus and a response that humans exhibit? Can a similar behavior be seen in any other organisms?
Sedaia [141]
Common examples of this would be if you place your hand in extremely warm or cold water, and an immediate response of pulling out of the water or any fluid, is an example of this extreme response, other responses are what is done in everyday, like being thirsty or hungry etc.

These behaviours are shared by all organisms even the most simple ones.
