How do the brain and nerves create electrical pulses?

Biology

Nerve impulses are electrical energy signals. Human electrical energy is generated by chemical processes in nerve cells. An example of a chemical involved in the process is acetylcholine. A nerve impulse is wave electrical activity that passes from one end of a nerve cell to another. Each impulse is the same size. The frequency (impulse per second) is what carries the information about the intensity of a nerve signal. Billions of nerve impulses travel throughout the human brain and nervous system.

Use the drop-down menus to answer the questions about genetic recombination. involves the transfer of genetic material from one
Tresset [83]

The right matches are:

• Involves the transfer of genetic material from one bacteria to another ==> Genetic recombination (all 3).

• Involves scraps of genetic material ==> Transformation.

• Uses a virus to transmit genetic material ==> Transduction.

• Uses a pilus to transmit genetic information ==> Conjugation.

• Introduces new genetic material to a bacterium ==> Genetic recombination (all 3).

In molecular biology the term genetic recombination is often used as a synonym for DNA recombination, that is, the processes by which one DNA (or RNA) molecule is cut off, then joined to another.

There are three possible mechanisms in the bacterium: bacterial conjugation, bacterial transformation and transduction.

Anyone know the answer ?
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

advantages of sexual reproduction:

it produces variation in the offspring

the species can adapt to new environments due to variation, which gives them a survival advantage

a disease is less likely to affect all the individuals in a population

disadvantages of sexual reproduction:

time and energy are needed to find a mate

it is not possible for an isolated individual

advantages of asexual reproduction

the population can increase rapidly when the conditions are favourable

only one parent is needed

it is more time and energy efficient as you don't need a mate

Disadvantages of asexual reproduction

it does not lead to variation in a population

the species may only be suited to one habitat

disease may affect all the individuals in a population

Based on the definition of a watershed, how many different watersheds were there in your model? Explain how you determined this
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Water shed is created when an area or land separates the water flowing to different rivers, basin and seas.

Explanation:

Water shed are of different types-

  1. Large water sheds-Contain well developed channel networks.
  2. Small water sheds-Contain dominant land phase.
  3. Urban watershed-It is dominated by building,roads,pavements.
  4. Agriculture water shed-
  5. Forest water shed-Evapotranspiration is the dominant component of the hydrologic cycle.
  6. Mountain water shed-mountain is the dominant component that separates the water flow.
  7. Desert water shed-Sand dunes sand mounds that are formed by blowing air causes separation of water flow.
  8. Coastal watershed-Coastal area may partly be urban and is dynamic contact with sea.The hydrology is influenced by tidal action.
