Answer:

The correct answer is "each of the MHC genes has a large number of alleles, but each individual only inherits two for each gene".

Explanation:

In normal conditions, an individual has only two different alleles for a given gene: one inherited from his mother and the other from his father. However, this does not mean that among humans, there are only two different alleles for each gene. The major histocompatibility (MHC) genes are a clear example of this, since there are multiple combinations for each MHC class. For instance, there are 40 very similar alleles only for the HLA-B27 subtype.

In a simple spinal reflex, the pathway for an impulse is along a sensory neuron directly to a motor neuron through ?A) an effect
Tasya [4]

Answer:

C) an interneuron

Explanation:

A reflex arc is a neural pathway that controls a reflex action. In a simple spinal reflex, the pathway for an impulse is along a sensory neuron directly to a motor neuron through an interneuron because an interneuron enables communications (i.e a pathway for information passage) between a sensory neuron and motor neuron. They play vital roles in reflex actions, neuronal oscillations, neurogenesis in an adult mammalian vertebrate brain.
