Answer: The correct option is C (Dendrites, Cell body, Axon, Axon terminals)

Explanation:

The transfer of information from neuron to neuron takes place through the release of chemical substances into the space between the axon and the dendrites. These chemicals are called neurotransmitters, and the process is called NEUROTRANSMISSION.

The order of neurotransmitter/receptor interaction that results in an electrical signal impulse and the release of another neurotransmitter for interaction in the synaptic cleft (signal conduction through a neuron) is from Dendrites--> Cell body--> Axon-->Axon terminals>

DENDRITES extends from the cell body of a neurone to receive messages at neuromuscular junction from other neurons. The CELL BODY directs all activities to the axon. The AXON is a long single fibre that transmits messages from the cell body and ends in terminals forming a synapse. Nerve impulses arrives at the axon terminal causing the release of neurotransmitters. The neurotransmitters binds to receptors at the dendrites of another neurons. The electrical signal impulses generated causes the release of neurotransmitters in another neuron.

It’s due to stem cells. The genes in dna turn on and off to give a cell a specific job, so stem cells can be “programmed” as any cell the body needs. (Muscle cell, skin cell, etc)

Sharks, whales, and dolphins share similar features such as body shape and the position of fins. However, sharks have gills for

Both dolphins and whales still have their hip (pelvic) bones present. These bones connect and transfer the weight of the trunk to the lower limbs.

Thus, <em>the presence of the pelvic bone may indicate that whales had ancestors that walked on land</em>.
