Answer: D. An adaptive process that allows children to deal more efficiently with their environment.

Explanation:

Synaptic pruning is a natural process between early childhood and adulthood which occurs in the brain. The brain removes the extra synapses during synaptic pruning. Synapses are brain structures that allow the neurons to transmit to another neuron an electrical or chemical signal.  

Synaptic pruning is thought to help the brain transition from adolescence, when it can quickly learn and make new connections, to adulthood, when it is much more stable in its structure, but can concentrate on a single question for longer and conduct more complex thinking processes. Synaptic pruning make brain more adaptive to the external environment in early ages.

Hence, the correct option is D. An adaptive process that allows children to deal more efficiently with their environment.

Identify the phase of mitosis for each plant cell diagram shown below.
madreJ [45]

Answer:

1. Metaphase

2. Prophase

3. Telophase

4, 5, 6, 8. Interphase

7. Anaphase

Explanation:

Mitosis is a cell division involving the formation of two genetically daughter cells. The process of mitosis involves stages including: interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase.

Interphase is the resting stage of the cell. It is th stage where the cell prepares for the division. Numbers 4, 5, 6, and 8 in the image are stages of interphase.

Prophase is the stage where the chromosomes become visible and arrange in pairs. Number 2 in the image depicts a plant cell in prophase stage.

Metaphase is the stage where the chromosomes align at the equator/middle of the cell. This alignment orients the chromosomes for separation. Image 1 depicts this metaphase stage.

Anaphase stage is the stage where the chromosomes separate into opposite poles of the cell. Image 7 depicts the anaphase stage of this plant cell.

In the Telophase stage, the cell plate forms to divide the plant cell into two. This is shown in image 3.
