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.
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 myelinated axons that transmit nerve signals throughout the nervous system. The white matter is white because the myelin that surrounds the axons is white.

True-breeding pea plants with smooth peas are crossed with true-breeding pea plants with wrinkled peas. All individuals of the

NeTakaya

Mendel crossed the dominant smooth seeded pea plant (SS) with the recessive wrinkled seeded pea plant (ss). The F 1 generation produced the heterozygous smooth seeded plants with a genotype Ss. When two heterozygous pea plants (Ss) are crossed in the F2 generation represented by Ss x Ss, the gametes formed are S and s. In the second generation, out of the total offspring produced, 3 have the smooth seeded phenotype and 1 has wrinkled seed phenotype. Thus the phenotypic ratio is 3: 1 with one out of four plants being a wrinkled seeded pea plant.

The cactus has a specialized fleshy stem and it's leaves function only for protection. Which plant tissues most likely makes up

wolverine [178]

The stem is most likely made up of vascular tissues. The main vessels present on vascular tissue are the xylem and phloem. These two tissues work as pipes for the transport of water and nutrients inside the stem. Xylem transports water and some nutrients from the roots. The Phloem transports the soluble organic compounds that were produced during photosynthesis from the leaves, and in the case of the cactus photosynthesis happens on the actual stem, to the rest of the plant.

During meiosis, errors occur during chromosome replication. Which term describes the rearranging of genetic material between non

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is: translocation.

Explanation:

Translocations are chromosomal abnormalities that are caused by an error that can occur during meiosis when a piece of a chromosome breaks off and it is attached to another chromosome that is not its homologous pair.

There are two types of translocations when taking into account if there were a loss or gain of genetic material, or if it weren't. The type of translocation where there's no loss or gain of genetic material is called balanced, since the information is still there but in a different location.

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:
The right answer for the blank is cleavage.

Explanation:
After fertilization the next step is cleavage in which zygote divide mitotically. As the embryo move from oviduct down the fallopian tube it divide into two cell and then four cells. four cell embryo is known as blastomere.
