Answer:

because some genes expressed in neuron is not expressed in WBC's.

Explanation:

Every cell in the body contains the same DNA sequence and the same gene but all the genes are not expressed in a cell. Each cell expresses a particular set of genes according to the function they perform.

For example, a red blood cell will express a gene that code for hemoglobin to carry oxygen but white blood cell do not carry oxygen, therefore, it will not express the gene of hemoglobin rather it will express a gene that make proteins that can be used to kill pathogens.

Therefore according to the function of cell genes are expressed so neurons express genes that make neurons receive and respond to electric signal.

What happens when the density of a medium increases? A. Bending of light increases B. Bending of light decreases C. Temperature
Sholpan [36]
<span>B. Bending of light decreases
</span>According to the law of reflection, it stated that when light strikes the boundary between different media, a portion of the light is reflected while another portion enters the medium. Thus, the process in which the ray of light crosses the boundary and enters the second medium is known as refraction. However, the velocity of light decreases when light enters a denser medium.
