Answer:

<u>Pruning</u>

Explanation:

Pruning or synaptic pruning is brain's way of clearing unnecessary signals that are no longer needed. It mostly occur in childhood and adolescence because brain want to get faster by avoiding unused impulses in Synapses. Synapse is the space between neurons through which signals are being transferred.

Yanni made a chart to compare the strong and weak forces. Which best describes Yanni’s error? Only the weak force is active in t
cluponka [151]

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Nucleus of an atom consists of protons and neutrons. Protons are positively charged and neutrons have no charge. So, due to the like charges of protons there occurs electrostatic force of repulsion inside the nucleus of the atom.

But due to similar number of neutrons and protons a force that is able to bind both of them together is known as strong nuclear binding energy.

This force is strong enough that it is able to overcome electrostatic force of repulsion. But when there is great difference in the number of protons and neutrons then binding force is not strong enough.

Hence, the atom becomes unstable and undergoes radioactive decay. So, this means weak forces are responsible for radioactive decay.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement which best describes Yanni’s error is that the strong force is responsible for radioactive decay.
