Answer:

The correct answer is - 10³ seconds.

Explanation:

The nerve impulse is an electrical signal in which fluctuation in membrane potential occurs and forms an electrical signal that takes place that travels along the axon to the synapses.

Suppose a nerve impulse starts only when the first impulse ends according to the question so the one impulse last for the 10⁻³ second or 1 ms.  

Thus,  the nerve impulse fires per second will be equal to impulse generate in each second which is 1/10⁻³ = 10³.

Thus, the correct answer is - 10³ impulse per second or 1000 impulse per second.

Reptile [31]

Answer:

May not

Explanation:

Adaptation is made possible as a result of an organism being exposed to different environmental conditions. These exposure makes it adopt different techniques for its survival which eventually results in it being adapted to the condition and is then passed on as traits to its offsprings. They are then able to survive when met with such environmental condition.

When an organism is exposed to the same conditions all the time then there is lack of genetic variation and adaptation may not occur.
