maria [59]

The correct answer is - B. Mitosis produces two diploid daughter cells, while meiosis produces four haploid daughter cells.

The processes of mitosis and meiosis are often confused with one another, mostly because of the similarity in their names.

The mitosis is a type of cell division where the end result is two daughter cells, each of the cells has the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus. Thus is typical for the growth of tissue.

The meiosis is a type of cell division where the end result is four daughter cells, each of the cells having half the number of chromosomes of the parent nucleus. This is typical for the gametes and the plant spores.

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

If the postsynaptic cell is an interneuron that uses GABA as a neurotransmitter, the excitation of this cell will result in an action potential in its synaptic targets.

The answer is OPTION B (False)

Explanation:

<em><u>Some terms explained:</u></em>

GABA:

known as gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), is an amino acid inhibitory neurotransmitter that decreases the neuron's action potential. It is well known to inhibit the activity of signal-receiving neurons.

The neuron will not generate action potentials when the action potential drops below a certain level, thus not excite nearby neurons.

Action potential:

An action potential is self-propagating in nature, is the mode through which a neuron transports electrical signals. Action potential of a neuron has three main stages: hyperpolarization, repolarization, and depolarization.   It occurs when the membrane potential of a specific cell location rapidly rises and falls and it electrotonically depolarizes the membrane of regions in front of it.

In the center, there are protons and neutrons. The neutron have no charge but weigh a lot compared to the electron. The proton has a positive charge. In order to get the atomic mass, add the number of protons and neutrons together.
