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.

Which of the following statements is correct concerning the spinal cord?A. The white matter contains cell bodies for spinal nucl
Reptile [31]

Answer:

D. Spinal nerves have mixed motor and sensory function.

Explanation:

spinal's nerves are mixed nerves, which means that they carry sensory and motor information. They carry sensory information to the central nervous system to give a motor answer that will travel through the spinal nerves to specific muscles. The White matter, which is peripheral in the spinal cord, contains axons while the gray matter, which is central in the spinal cord, contains cell bodies.

X has successfully been transmitted to your body; you are now infected. All of the following among A-D are possible consequences
Natasha2012 [34]

The complete options to the question includes:

A.You never show any symptoms of disease and there is no sign of the pathogen in your body.

B.You exhibit mild symptoms of disease and the levels of the pathogen in your body are quickly reduced and eliminated.

C.You succumb to the worst effects of the disease but survive due to administration of antimicrobial agents.

D.You never show any symptoms of disease, but the pathogen persists in your body.

E.There are no exceptions, A-D are all plausible outcomes.

Answer: The correct option is A (You never show any symptoms of disease and there is no sign of the pathogen in your body).

Explanation:

Infectious diseases occurs when an individuals system is invaded by pathogenic microorganisms (virus,bacteria,fungi and parasite). These microorganisms may or may not cause disease but this depends on the healthy state of the host. They can also be transmitted from one person to another.

To explain the options why all are plausible outcomes when X has successfully been transmitted into the body except A includes:

B) option B can occur when the immune system of the host is able to combat X.

C.) Option C can occur when antimicrobial is given to suppress the activities of X

D) option D can occur when the individual may become an asymptomatic carrier of X. ( Individual shows no symptoms and signs of disease caused by X but the pathogen is still present in the body).

But option A is not possible as X must be present to show there was a transmission.

Compare CRISPR and miRNA
Zinaida [17]
The miRNA functions as a guide by base-pairing with target mRNA to negatively regulate its expression.
Whereas, CRISPR technology is a simple yet powerful tool for editing genomes. It allows researchers to easily alter DNA sequences and modify gene function. Its many potential applications include correcting genetic defects, treating and preventing the spread of diseases and improving crops.
