sergiy2304 [10]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The correct answer is the second option axon.

Explanation:

Neurons or nerve cells is a cell that transfers electrical signals. Nerve cells are the structural and functional units of the human nervous system. Every nerve cell is made up of 3 parts, a cell body called soma, dendrites and an axon.

The soma or cell body forms an elongated projection, called axon. Axon is responsible for sending electrochemical signals with the help of elaborate ion transport.  Some nerve cells have a myelin sheath covering around the axon to facilitate signals faster.  

Thus, the correct answer is the second option, Axon.

Through the course of evolution, plants have developed smaller gametophytes and larger sporophytes. Study the list of plants. Th
Lapatulllka [165]

Ans.

Gametophyte shows haploid, gamete-forming stage of plant's life cycle, while sporophyte shows diploid, spore-forming stage of plant's life cycle. In green algae, gametophytes and sporophytes are isomorphic (indistinguishable). In bryophytes, such as mosses, gametophyte shows dominant stage as it is most visible stage in their life-cycle. In vascular plants, such as ferns and seed plants, sporophytes show dominant stage.  

Thus, 'seed plants show briefest gametophyte stage' and 'mosses show longest gametophyte stage.'

What technique is used by all three branches of science to make discoveries
Brut [27]
Experimenting. Experimenting is used in all three main branches of science, physics, chemistry, and biology, and is used in all the sub-branches of science, like marine biology, to make discoveries. Without experimenting, all we know about science would be random guesses.
