Glia that provide myelin for neurons in the brain are called ________.

kati45 [8]

Answer:

oligodendrocytes

Explanation:

Glial cells are part of the nervous system. These are helper cells that support the function of the central nervous system (CNS) and can be called oligodendrocytes when they supply myelin to neurons. These cells are responsible for producing the myelin sheath have the function of electrical insulator for CNS neurons. They have extensions that wrap around the axons, producing the myelin sheath.

It is estimated that there are 10 glia cells in the CNS for each neuron, but because of their small size, they occupy half the volume of nervous tissue. They differ in form and function and they are: oligodendrocytes, astrocytes, Schwann cells, ependymal cells, and microglia.

In hamsters, we can examine the genes for coat color and eye color which are linked:B = brown coat, b = white coat, G = green ey

Inessa [10]

Answer:

10.2 cM

Explanation:

Given,

pure breeding parent 1 : BBgg = brown coat and pink eyes

pure breeding parent 2 : bbGG = white coat and green eyes

BBGG X bbgg = F1 = BbGg ( All are brown with green eyes )

When F1 progeny is test crossed with white coat and pink eyes hamster:

BbGg X BbGg = F2 =

brown, pink eyes = 99 = parental

white, green eyes = 103 = parental

brown, green eyes = 12 = recombinant

white, pink eyes = 11 = recombinant

Recombination frequency =

(total number of recombinants / total progeny ) * 100

= [( 11 + 12 ) / ( 99 + 103 + 12 + 11 )] * 100 = (23/225)*100 = 0.102 * 100 = 10.2 %

1 % recombination frequency = 1 cM distance between genes

Hence, the distance between B and G gene is 10.2 cM

What is the difference between an excitatory postsynaptic potential and an inhibitory postsynaptic

Vikki [24]

Answer:

A postsynaptic potential is defined as excitatory if it makes it easier for the neuron to fire an action potential. ... A postsynaptic potential is considered inhibitory when the resulting change in membrane voltage makes it more difficult for the cell to fire an action potential, lowering the firing rate of the neuron.

The sensory cells associated with this sense actually hyperpolarize in response to their stimulus modality...

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

Vision

Explanation:

Sensory cells may detect the information like taste, touch, hear and vision by the presence of receptors located on their surface.

Hyperpolarisation may be defined as the change in the cell's membrane potential towards more negative. The sensory vision cells are associated with the hyperpolarisation of cells and makes the cells environment more negative in response to the stimuli.

Thus, the correct answer is option (d).
