The right answer is 2 divisions.

Meiosis follows the replication of DNA from a reproductive cell (male or female). It allows the passage of a so-called diploid mother cell to 2n chromosome homologous chromosomes to 4 single-chromosome haploid daughter cells. For that it must pass by two successive divisions, the first division is reductionelle generating two diploid cells with n chromosomes. the second division is equational giving 4 haploid cells to n chromosomes from the two preceding cells.

Which statement is true about nuclear decay

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

Nuclear decay rates are constant

Explanation:

Spontaneous decay of unstable nuclei is a process of a statistical nature, it is not possible to predict with certainty when an individual radioactive nucleus will decay, nor can the decay process be influenced in any way.

Therefore, the half-life of radionuclides (specific for each radionuclide) is defined as the time period in which half of the initial number of radioactive nuclei decays.

The unit of measurement for the radioactivity of the material is the becquerel (Bq) and denotes the number of decays in one second (1Bq = 1 decay / 1 second).

missive segment is the axon hillock. The main activity that occurs at the transmissive segment is the release of neurotransmitte

Mumz [18]

Explanation:

The main activity that occurs at the transmissive segment is the release of neurotransmitter from synaptic vesicles . Prior to the arrival of the action potential, Ca2+ pumps embedded in the plasma membrane of a synaptic knob establish a calcium concentration gradient by pumping it out to the IF. Consequently, there is more calcium inside of the synaptic knob than outside it.

Further Explanation:

At synaptic junctions:

The action potential travels along the membrane until the synapse where it’s electrical depolarization leads to the opening of channels allowing Ca2+ to rush into the terminal due to higher extracellular concentrations
these flow through a presynaptic membrane until the concentration is built up, activating ion sensitive proteins attached to vesicles containing neurotransmitters
this leads to changes in the proteins leading to the fusion with the membrane of the presynaptic cell, so vesicles are open and neurotransmitter is released. The neurotransmitter diffuses across to chemical receptors on the presynaptic cell where they bind temporarily
This leads to activation of specific complexes, enabling the transmission of information. Thus, the chemical signal is transferred through this neuron as an electrical impulse
