Answer:

The correct answer is option b. "The receptor potential is carried by neuroglia".

Explanation:

Neuroglia is a term used to describe a class of cells which main function is to support the neurons. The term neuroglia include astrocytes, ependymal cells and oligodendrocyte. It is false to affirm that the receptor potential is carried by neuroglia, the receptor potential is carried out by the neurons.

Answer:

b.The receptor potential is carried by neuroglia.

When   receptor cells   responded to a stimulus of touch, pressure,lights, (which is up to the threshold levels)  they produce an action potential.Such potential generated by the cell is called Receptor potential.

They are transducers cells  which  converts different forms of stimulus to electrical signals in the neurons.

The reversal of charges  due to stimuli of touch, smell, light or chemical substances cause depolarization  and   generates action potential. If this is up to the threshold levels, action potential is propagated along the sensory neuron to the  cerebral cortex of the brain.

Neuroiglia   are cells of the CNS and PNS. that provide<u> support</u> and<u> protection to </u> the neurons. They do not transmit electrical signals as action potential. The transmission of action potential is done by the sensory neurons.

One method is to microinject ____________ into eggs; another method is to use ____________ to create tiny holes in the eggs thro
Elina [12.6K]

One method is to microinject deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) into eggs; another method is to use vortex mixing to create tiny holes in the eggs through which DNA enters.

<h3>Process of gene transfer</h3>

Genetic engineering techniques are steps that are taken to create a genetically modified organism that can be used for studies. This technique involves the following major steps:

  • Isolation of DNA fragments from a donor organism,

  • The insertion of an isolated donor DNA fragment into a vector genome; and

  • The growth of a recombinant vector in an appropriate host.

The insertion of an isolated donor DNA fragment into a vector genome can be done through microinjection method or vortex mixing.

When eggs are used as vector genome, microinjection of DNA can be carried out or vortex mixing can be used to create tiny holes in the eggs through which DNA enters.
