Answer:

Option A, Glucose metabolism in the fetal brain increased

Explanation:

Usage of cocaine during pregnancy is prohibited. However, in case if cocaine is taken it disrupts the metabolism as it increases brain glucose metabolism to the level of an adult human being. Since glucose metabolism in brain is a sensitive process, any disruption in it can lead to unaccounted effects such as dysfunctional circulation, and pharmacological effect. Cocaine increases the dopamine by blocking the dopamine transporters thereby increasing the Vmax. Since the brain of a child has all kind of neurochemical components, cocaine intakes by a pregnant woman produces reinforcing effects in brain of fetus and also make it pharmacologically active

Hence, option A  is correct

The domestic dog, Canis lupus familiaris, has 39 pairs of chromosomes in each of its diploid somatic (body) cells. Therefore, th
Fed [463]

Answer:39 chromosomes

Explanation; meiosis is a form of nuclear division that produces gametes with half the number of chromosomes in the parent cell.it involves two successive divisions to produce four daughter cells.meiosis occurs only in reproductive cells.

In this case,the dog has 39 pairs of chromosomes,which is 78 chromosomes.it would undergo meiotic division to produce the half number of chromosomes,which is 39 chromosomes.this 39 haploid chromosomes are contained in the sperm cells or in the egg cells.

When the egg and sperm fuses,the diploid number of chromosomes is restored.

Compared to unmyelinated axons, myelinated axons?
Furkat [3]

Answer:

A. Conduct impulses faster.

Explanation:

Myelinated axons are called that way due to the myelin sheath that surrounds them. Myelin has an insulation property so electrical impulses cannot travel through it, except on certain sites called Nodes of Ranvier. In order for electrical impulses to be conducted on myelinated axons they must "jump" from one Node of Ranvier to the next, and thus conduction is faster. This is called saltatory conduction.
