Jeff is said to be a carrier of the gene.
Recessive genes are those that appear in an organism's phenotype when there are two copies of the allele present. Some organisms have one copy of the dominant allele and one copy of the recessive allele, as is the case with Jeff. These organisms carry the allele and may pass it down to their offspring.

Ket [755]

Answer;

-Neurotransmitters.

One of the first key terms she memorizes is neurotransmitters because these are the chemicals via which neurons communicate with each other.

Explanation;

-Neurons communicate with each other via electrical events called 'action potentials' and chemical neurotransmitters. At the junction between two neurons (synapse), an action potential causes neuron A to release a chemical neurotransmitter.

-Neurons are connected to each other through synapses, sites where signals are transmitted in the form of chemical messengers.
