Answer:

Option-C

Explanation:

Action potential refers to the generation of electrical activity due to the influx and efflux of ions in the cell.

The cell which transmits the action potential is known as the neuron and the neuron maintains the membrane potential at -70 mv. The influx of sodium ions causes depolarization when it crosses the threshold value.  

The generated action potential now travels in the neuron through its long tubular structure called an axon.  The axon transmits the signal from the cell body towards the axon terminal and thus is known as the down the axon.

Thus, Option-C is the correct answer.

The forelimbs of humans, cats, and bats have a number of detailed similarities in their construction. what best explains these s
bulgar [2K]
Evolution :).

Descent with modification helps to explain anatomical similarities among certain species. The bones of the forelimbs of humans, cats, and bats (you can add in penguins, alligators, and more) are used in different ways but have similar structures.

The best explanation is that these animals have a common ancestor. With new generations, new species emerged by natural selection from different populations, and with this, the bones become better for different tasks.

The forelimbs and other such structures with anatomical similarities due to a common ancestor are called homologous structures.

Adaptive features of boxwood shrub​
adoni [48]

Answer:

Boxwood shrubs are slow-growing plants with dark green glossy leaves. Some varieties have variegated leaves. Leaf shape depends on the variety; some are round while others are elliptical. They provide thick cover because the foliage begins close to the ground and is dense enough to block light.
