1 answer:
Vinvika [58]3 years ago
8 0
The possible answers are : 
A. it makes up the outer layer of the brain 
B. it's composed of an axon. 
C. it transmits nerve signals from one area of the CNS to another. 
<span>D. it's composed of dendrites

The correct answers are A and D

The gray matter of the brain is made out of nerve cell bodies, dendrites, and unmyelinated axons. The outer layer of the brain's cortex is made out of the gray matter and the inner layers are made out of white matter.
The white matter is made out of </span>myelinated axons that transmit nerve signals throughout the nervous system. The white matter is white because the myelin that surrounds the axons is white.

Why staining is useful when studying cells through microscope?

The most basic reason that cells are stained is to enhance visualization of the cell or certain cellular components under a microscope. Cells may also be stained to highlight metabolic processes or to differentiate between live and dead cells in a sample.

what are the morphological chemical function and similarities different between lysosomes and peroxisome​

PLEASE HELP!

Answer:

Although elephants and hyraxes at first don't seem to have many similarities, a closer look has led many scientists to believe that these animals are evolutionarily closely related.

Elephants and Hyraxes share many reproductive characteristics that indicate a common ancestor: The location of the testicules in these animals diverges from most mammalian species, remaining inside the retroperitoneal abdomen. Females have similar placental origins and long gestation periods and the location of the mammary glands in both orders (above the front legs) is a unique feature among non-primate mammals. Hyraxes' tusks develop from incisor teeth, similar to elephants, and in both cases nails develop into flattened, hoof-like structures.

Molecular evidence has also been used to confirm the hypothesis of evolutionary relatedness between the two orders, as similarities in some gene sequences in mitochondrial DNA and other molecular components. Both animals have some physiological similarities and cognitive characteristics (such as the presence of a powerful long-term memory) that support the possibility of evolutionary proximity.

The fossil record indicates that in the Eocene period hyraxes were dominant herbivores in Africa, with several species, reaching much larger sizes than today and occupying different ecological niches, indicating that elephants and hyraxes may have been very similar millions of years ago.

Despite a lot of scientific evidence and many theories why does the origin of the universe remain a question to scientists?
otez555 [7]
According to Dr. John Harrnet cosmology is a religion, not a science. Models such as the Big Bang are riddled with problems, such as the "horizon problem". This is why cosmologists are seeking other answers and trying to make new models. Check out creation.com. Search "big bang", or "horizon problem" in their search bar. You can also check out amazingfacts.org. I hope this helped.
