Answer:
Receiving sensory information and carrying commands to the muscles.
Explanation:
The spinal cord serves as the transmission conduit for the passage of action potential as sensory information through the sensory/afferent neurons to the dorsal roots of the spinal cord.The information synapse with the inter neurons,branching off to the brain and emerged as the response through the motor/efferent neurons to the effectors(muscles).
This pathways is called reflex arc. Thus most of the involuntary action of the body is conducted through the spinal cord
Answer:
The answer is when the cell express different genes.
Explanation:
Cell differentiation is the process when a cell is changed from one cell type to an other and brings more complexity to the system. A cell before differentiation possess all the genes however their expression in turned off. When some external or internal factors trigger the gene expression it starts the cell differentiation. A multicellular organism undergoes several rounds of cell differentiation during its development. Although cell differentiation changes the size, shape and metabolic activity but the genetic makeup or DNA is never changed during cell differentiation.
