Answer:
The given statement is false.
A neuron is the basic structural and functional unit of the nervous system. It helps in transmitting information from one neuron to another neuron, gland, or muscle cell.
The conduction of nerve impulse is electrochemical in nature. It transmits the impulse electrically through the axon the nerve cells and chemically through synapses (gap between two nerves cells).
The axon terminals of pre-synaptic nerve cell release chemical messengers (also called neurotransmitters) in the synaptic cleft. These messengers then bind to the receptors present on the post-synaptic nerve cell and regenerate the nerve impulse.
Answer:
The correct answer is option a, that is, sympatric speciation.
Explanation:
Speciation, which takes place when two groups of similar species live in a similar geographical location, however, they evolve distinctly unless and until they no longer interbreed and are regarded as different species is termed as sympatric speciation.
Sympatric speciation is not similar to other kinds of speciation, in which the formation of a new species takes place when a population gets differentiated into two groups because of migration or geographic barrier. The sympatric speciation can be witnessed in various distinct kinds of species. Thus, the given case of monkeys is an illustration of sympatric speciation.
Answer:
Option B.
It is because the ocean near Portland moderates the temperature.
Explanation:
- The areas that are near to ocean have the moderate temperatures even in the hot seasons.
- Portland has the pacific ocean near to it, so the ocean current regulates the temperature there. But Minneapolis lacks ocean near it, so the summer is more hotter in Minneapolis.
- Ocean is capable of counteracting the rough distribution of radiation due to solar that reaches the Earth's surface.
