<h2>C) option is correct </h2>

Explanation:

  • The spinal cord has numerous groups of nerve fibers going towards and coming from the brain
  • These have been collectively called the ascending and descending tracts of the spinal cord, respectively, these tracts are responsible for carrying sensory and motor stimuli to and from the periphery (respectively)
  • The ascending tracts transmit sensory information from the sensory receptors to higher levels of the CNS
  • The descending tracts originate from different cortical areas and from brain stem nuclei
  • The descending pathway carry information associated with maintenance of motor activities such as posture, balance, muscle tone, and visceral and somatic reflex activity

Alexeev081 [22]
All you need to look through the human body systems you had in the unit and explain how they make you living, rather than dead. What body systems do you have that make you a living human being.
1. Your Cardiovascular system. It keeps your body and cells supplied with oxygen so they can stay alive.
2. Your nervous system. It allows your body to take outside stimuli and allow your brain to process and react to it.
3. Your Digestive system. It allows you to extract the energy from other living things and use it to power your body.

Tcecarenko [31]

In the plant, when a cell divides into two daughter cells, we observe in this experiment Mitosis, which is the cell division that allows the plant to elongate and occurs in the meristematic tissues that are at the ends of the plants. Whereas meiosis is restricted to reproductive tissue and forms gametes that will form new seeds through fertilization, carrying genes from one generation to another.

<h3>How does mitosis occur in plant cells?</h3>

In plant cells, division takes place from the inside out – centripetal cytokinesis. In plant cells, cytokinesis is centrifugal, from the outside to the inside: there is the formation of a lamella, which grows from the center to the periphery and separates the two cells.

With this information, we can conclude that through successive mitotic divisions that the zygote (cell generated after the meeting of gametes) manages to originate all the cells of its organism. Mitosis, therefore, is responsible for the growth and development of embryos.
