Answer:

SOMA

Explanation:

The nervous system is made up of specialized cells which are the fundamental units of the system called NEURONS. The neurons send and receive input in form of electrical signals. Each of the neuron has a cell body, a dendrite and an axon in its structure. The cell body is referred to as SOMA. It is the part of the neuron (nerve cell) that houses the DNA-containing nucleus. The other two structures that make each neuron which function to bring information to the neuron (dendrite) and pass information to other neurons (axon) are attached to the Soma.

Asides the nucleus, the Soma also constitutes all other organnelles that can be found in other cells, which allows the neuron (nerve cell) to function optimally e.g. ribosomes for protein synthesis, mitochondria for energy production etc. Hence, the SOMA or cell body, because of the various organnelles or structures it harbors within itself, ensures that components required for the proper functioning of the neuron are synthesized.

What is waters role In forming fossil
Elodia [21]

Answer:

After an organism's soft tissues decay in sediment, the hard parts — particularly the bones — are left behind. Water seeps into the remains, and minerals dissolved in the water seep into the spaces within the remains, where they form crystals. ... If that mold gets filled with other minerals, it becomes a cast.

Which statement best describes the relationship between an allele's frequency and its dominance? A) Frequency and dominance are
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

D) Frequency results from environmental stresses, not dominance.

Explanation:

The allele frequency refers to the amount of frequency of a particular allele in a small population whereas the dominance and recessive are the measure of the effects of the allele on the population which decides the trait of an organism.

The frequency and dominance cannot be correlated with each other as the frequency of the allele in a population is the result of the environmental stress which are random and by chances, whereas the effect of dominance is not random but is the result of the favoured trait for survival.

Thus, Option-D is correct.

Describe what happened to the average yearly temperature on earth from 1970 to 1990. Give one possible reason why this change oc
FrozenT [24]

Explanation:

In the given question, the graph has been shown representing the change in temperature on Earth between 1900 to 1990. The graph has been made by plotting temperature ( °F) on y-axis vs Year on the x-axis.

From the graph, it can be observed that the temperature on Earth has increased over the years but between 1970 to 1990 the temperature has increased from 56.9 °F to 58.1 °F approximately.

The reason for this increase in temperature could be accounted to the fact that the burning of fossil fuels like petrol, gas, coal and others increased over these years which increased the amount of carbon dioxide and other harmful gases in the atmosphere.

Due to the increase in these gas, the greenhouse effect was observed and the temperature of the Earth begins to rise at an alarming rate.
