3 0

Answer:

Genes are regions in the DNA that contain the instructions that code for the formation of proteins. Each chromosome consists of a single, very long DNA molecule, and each gene on the chromosome is a particular segment of that DNA. The instructions for forming species' characteristics are carried in the DNA.

A neuron can receive thousands of EPSPs from different neurons, and responds by triggering or not triggering an action potential
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

The addition and response to the net effect of postsynaptic potentials is called Spatial summation

Explanation:

Signal summation occurs when impulses received by a neuron are eummed together to reach the excitation threshold to fire a neuron. It occurs at the axon hillock of a neuron. Signal summation occurs since each neuron is connected to many other neurons, often receiving multiple impulses from them, both excitatory and inhibitory.

Signal summation can either be temporal or spatial.

Temporal summation, occurs when impulses received at the same place on the neuron in close temporal succession add up to initiate an action potential in the neuron.

Spatial summation occurs when impulses received simultaneously at different places on the neuron add up to initiate an action potential in the neuron.
