Answer:
A) Chromosomes are made of DNA
C) Alleles are the different forms of a gene that can exist
D) Chromosomes contain genes that control the inheritance of traits.
Explanation:
Chromosomes are long molecules of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) that contain part (or all) of the genetic material of an organism. Humans contain 46 chromosomes organized in 23 pairs of homologous chromosomes (22 pairs of autosomal chromosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes, X and Y). Moreover, a gene is a physical segment of a chromosome that contains the information to encode a protein. Alleles are different forms of a gene (i.e., gene variants) that may be caused by mutations or genetic recombination. Humans are diploid organisms (2N: 46), and therefore we have two copies of each gene (alleles), one on each homologous chromosome.
Answer:
Nerve cells release chemical signals into synapses between them (short distance). They also transverse their lengths with an electrical signal that can result in signal travel along a series of cells (long distance).
Explanation:
Nerve cells release neurotransmitters in the synaptic cleft which are capable of affecting nearby cells such as other nerve cells and muscle cells. Neurotransmitter molecules include, among others, serotonin, acetylcholine, dopamine, norepinephrine and histamine. Moreover, the synaptic cleft is the space that separates a neuron cell and its target cell. On the other hand, neurons transmit signals through electrical impulses. Electrical impulses travel long distances in the body carried by axons of the nerves. Thus, nerve impulses connect the brain and spinal cord and they carry signals to different parts of the body.
Answer:
"GFP contained in synaptic vesicles moved into the synaptic cleft by exocytosis."
Explanation:
Synaptic vesicles are small membrane sacs that carry neurotransmitters from the cell body where they are produced, to the presynaptic membrane of the terminal button where they are released. The release zone of the presynaptic membrane contains voltage-dependent calcium channels. When an action potential depolarizes the presynaptic plasma membrane,
-channels open, and
flows into the nerve terminal to trigger the exocytosis of synaptic vesicles, thereby releasing their neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft
Answer:
It's called <em>hydrocephalus</em>.
Explanation:
Hydrocephalus is a condition in which cerebrospinal fluid builds up within the ventricles of the brain and it may increase pressure within the head.
Answer:
Though ice and snow are both made up of water, there is a difference between the two. Snow is nothing but the frozen atmospheric vapour which falls in winters on earth as light flakes whereas ice is simply frozen water.
