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.

Answer:

The correct answers would be maintain chromosome number through generations  and cause genetic variations by recombination.

In Meiosis a cell divides into four daughter cells all of which have half the number of chromosomes present in a parent cell.

It helps in the formation of gametes in sexually reproducing organisms.

These gametes (one from father and one from mother) fuse together to form a zygote. It re-established the chromosomal number as that of the parent.

In absence of meiosis, the chromosomal number would have doubled after each generation.

In addition, the meiosis also increases the genetic variation among the population with the help of crossing over which occurs during the pachytene stage of prophase I.

During this event, genetic information is exchanged between the non-sister chromatids of the homologous chromosomes. It produces a new combinations of genes that are different from either parent.

Gorter and grendel extracted lipids from human red blood cells. they calculated the total surface area for these red blood cells
Anastaziya [24]
<span>The calculated to surface area for red blood cells by Gorter and Grendel found to be 36u2.

 The surface area that would be covered once they spread across the surface of the water is 72u2.

If they spread across the surface area will double. This is because the lipid bilayer with phospholipid the head faces the water on each surface of the membrane.
 It clearly shows that there must be more to membranes than lipid bilayer because membranes grew and the surface tension of membranes is much lower than those of pure lipid structures.</span>
