Sladkaya [172]4 years ago

The synapse is the junction present between two neurons.  

In a synapse, the electric impulses are transferred in the form of chemical molecule, which is also known as neurotransmitter. The synapse receives the signals from the sender neuron also known as presynaptic neuron to the receiver neuron, also called as postsynaptic neuron.

Hence, the correct answer is option c. junction between a sending neuron and a receiving neuron.

Answer;

C.junction between a sending neuron and a receiving neuron.

Explanation;

-Information or impulses from one neuron flows to another neuron across a synapse. The synapse contains a small gap separating neurons.The synapse consists of: a presynaptic ending that contains neurotransmitters, mitochondria and other cell organelles.

-The function of the synapse is to transfer electric activity (information) from one cell to another. The transfer can be from nerve to nerve (neuron-neuron), or nerve to muscle (neuro-myo).

Describe what happens during prophase I and metaphase I and how these phases play an important role in the genetic diversity of
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

Meiosis is the process of development of gamates in sexually reproducing organisms. Both males and females use meiosis to produce their gametes. In females the process of meiosis is called oogenesis as it produces oocytes which further develops into ova (eggs)  and in males spermatogenesis takes place to produce sperms. Meiosis takes place in the germ cells of the organism. Meiosis is also known as reduction division as a diploid cell reduce to develop 4 haploid daughter cells. Prophase I is the initial phase of meiosis. This phase has six substages, therefore it requires more time to complete especially in oogenesis.   During prophase I homologous chromosomes pair exchange their DNA this process results in chromosomal crossover. The new combination of DNA in the cross over chromosomes will be a source for genetic variations with production of new combination of allele. In metaphase I homologous pair of chromosome move together along a metaphase plate , microtubules emerge from the spindle and attach at the kinetochores near the centromere of each chromosomes. Microtubule from one side of the spindle attach to one of the chromosome in the homologous pair and that of other side attaches with other chromosome of each pair. Because of microtubules chromosome pair align at the metaphase plate (equator of the cell). The random alignment of chromosome pair at the equator plate will result in different proportion of transfer of genes from maternal and paternal chromosomes. This is the law of independent assortment, hence this will result in genetic diversity in the daughter cells.
