Answer:

away from; towards

Explanation:

An axon transmits messages away from the cell body and a dendrite transmits messages towards the cell body.

An axon also referred to as a never fiber, transmits electrical impulses away from the cell body i.e it transmits information to several muscles, neurons and glands. An example of an axon is one that runs from the spinal cord to the toe, it is referred to as the longest axon.

In contrast, a dendrite  receives signals or messages from other neurons and transmits the signals towards the cell body.

Answer:

n axon transmits messages _away_______ the cell body and a dendrite transmits messages _to_______ the cell body.

Axon are long nerve fibre that conducts action potential along their neuronal membrane away from the cell body. They are filled with cytoplasm called axoplasm, bounded, and insulated by concentric layers of lipids, protein,and water called myelin sheath, which is interupted at intervals to form Nodes of Ranvier.

These gaps enable the action potential to jump, thus increasing the speed of conduct or transmission of Action potential called saltatory conduction  The nodes have highest concentration of  Voltage-gated sodium and potassium ions pumps.

The axons terminated the action potential transmission at its terminal ends to reach   the dendrites of the adjacent neuron to  synapse, to deliver the electrical information to the adjacent neurons.

Therefore for the integration of the action potential in the cell body the dendrites  receive and transmits the message to the cell body. Dendrites are short  protoplasmic  projections of  the cell body or soma that  connect cell body of one neuron to the adjacent  neuron  axon through the terminal ends at the axon ends.

Answer:

that's not a good idea, most teachers search the web to check for plagiarism, and if they did they would see this question. but I'd say to go over the main facts, such as their diet, their ecosystem, and animals that prey on them. then add a few facts as space fillers if you need to.

(a) if the seawater carbonate ion concentration is 270 ?mol/kg, what is the approximate rate of calcification, and approximately
Travka [436]
Using the graph provided with the question, we are able to find that that for a concentration of 270 micromol per kilogram, the calcification rate is 20 mmol calcium carbonate per meter squared per day.

Using this calcification rate,
30 = 20 * 1 * days

days = 1.5

The deposition will require 1.5 days.

In a particular population of mice, certain individuals display a phenotype called "short tail," which is inherited as a dominan
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

The "short tail" dominant allele is easier to eliminate by selective breeding.

Explanation:

The only way for a recessive allele to be expressed (be visible) is when it appears as recessive homozygotic. These means the organisms need to have 2 copies of the gene. Selective breeding is based on the characteristics that one can see, so if the organism shows the "dilute" phenotype you can keep reproducing this individuals and get rid of the dominant allele.

On the other hand if you have a population with the dominant phenotype, you discard all the ones that have a recessive trait and you breed the dominant phenotype you could still get individuals with the recessive phenotype and individuals that express the dominant phenotype but are heterozygous.
