Answer:

Star-shaped.

Explanation:

Neurons are the nerve cell that acts as the basic structural unit of the nervous system. Neurons helps in the transmission of nerve impulse and transmit the signal into different parts of the body.

There are basically four types of microscopic neuron : unipolar, bipolar, multipolar and pseuounipolar neuron. Star-shaped neurons are not found in the microscopic description of neuron.

Thus, the correct answer is option (a).

Answer:

Star-shaped

Explanation:

Nervous cells in our body are capable of generating, receiving, and sending electrical signals to different cells. It establishes a communicating system in our body apart from the endocrine system. Its function is very first. The units of the nervous system are the neurons. The neurons are 3 types according to their structure- multipolar neuron, bipolar neuron, and unipolar/ pseudounipolar neurons. The multipolar neurons have one cyton, one axon having many branching dendrites. These types of neurons are common and found in the brain.  

The bipolar neurons have one cell body and one axon having one dendron. The bipolar neurons are found in the retina of the eye.

The unipolar or pseudounipolar neurons are bipolar during the embryonic stage and later it becomes unipolar neurons. It contains one axon which arises from cyton. The axon bifurcates to form the axon at one end and dendrites at the other end. This type of neurons is found in the dorsal root ganglia of the spinal cord.  

Besides the neurons, another type of nerve cells is present in the nervous system known as glial cells. It is the support system of the nervous system and increases the efficiency of the neurons.  They are also different types - astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, microglia, and satellite cells. The astrocytes are star-shaped nerve cells. It connects neurons and blood vessels.

ANTONII [103]
The light-dark cycle caused by the rising and setting of the sun is responsible for what are called circadian rhythms. These are biological processes that show a cycle of around 24 hours, the time between consecutive rising of the sun. Experiments have shown that without the external cue of sunlight, the circadian rhythms of organisms tend to break down. These can be reset by being re-exposed to these cues. Jet lag is due in part to a re-setting of the circadian rhythm, as you travel to a different time zone, your body has to become used to a different timing of night and day. <span>  </span>

Explain how the first three steps of scientific inquiry are related..
Diano4ka-milaya [45]
<span>The first three scientific inquiry is being related because
 they are all equivalent to the facts of finding emission.

They develop a question that must be answered.
1. The first scientific inquiry is to pose a question or else a problem is being investigated.
2. The next step is the observation, and it helps to form a hypothesis which explains the phenomenon or effect of what is observed.

Scientific inquiry is the diverse ways in which scientist study the natural world and then propose the explanations which are based on evidence which is derived from their work. Also, students develop science ideas of knowledge and understanding how scientist they do study the natural world.</span>

Some interphase cells contain twice as much DNA as other interphase cells within the same tissue sample. Is this normal? Why?
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

Yes, Since the interphase cells in G2 would have twice the DNA as the interphase cells in G1 phase or start of S phase.

Explanation:

Interphase has three stages: G1, S and G2 phase. DNA replication occurs in the S phase and doubles the DNA content of the cell. So, the DNA content of the interphase cells of the same tissue depends on stages of interphase.  

The interphase cells which are in the G1 phase has half the DNA content as it is present in the interphase that has entered the G2 phase after completion of DNA replication in S phase.

The DNA of a prokaryote is arranged in a single coiled chromosome located in a region called the ____________ . Some prokaryotes
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

1. Nucleoid

2. Plasmid

Explanation:

Prokaryotes are groups of organisms characterized by the lack of a membrane-bound nucleus in their cell. Due to this, the genetic material (DNA) of prokaryotes are found naked i.e. not housed. The DNA of a prokaryote is arranged in a single coiled chromosome located in a region of the cell called NUCLEOID.

However, some prokaryotes e.g. bacteria carry genes on extrachromosomal pieces of circular DNA called PLASMID. Plasmids carry certain genes like antibiotic resistance genes.
