Answer:

Similarities between the transmission of action potential through a neuron and ripples spreading across a pond:

The center point of the ripple or where a stone is dropped is similar to stimulus which initiates the transmission process.

Later on the action potential also travels in wave-like motion similar to that of ripples.

The wave of action potential transmission involves depolarization, repolarization, and hyperpolarization.
