Answer:

The correct option is b) motor output of the spinal cord

Explanation:

Motor neurons, also called afferent neurons, drive impulses from the brain and spinal cord to the receptors (eg, muscles). They are the motor output component of the spinal cord.

The spinal cord is a cord of nerve tissue that runs inside the spine. It conducts the nerve impulses that arrive from the receptors to the brain, and the responses with the motor orders from the brain to the effector organs. Thus, the brain receives the information and can develop an order that modifies the reflex response given by the spinal cord. A spinal nerve has two nerve roots: a motor and a sensory root. The motor root has nerve fibers that carry signals from the spinal cord, to the muscles to stimulate contraction and produce muscle movements, the fibers are efferent as they leave the medulla to the periphery through the anterior roots of the spinal nerves.

The difference between generalized and specialized transduction is:___________
Rzqust [24]

Answer: option D

In generalized transduction, any DNA can be moved while in specialized transduction certain DNA from the phage site is moved.

Explanation:

Transduction is the process where foreign DNA is added to a cell by a virus or viral vector.

Transduction is divided into two, generalized and specialized.

Generalized transduction is a process where any DNA can be transferred by the virus in the cell while specialized transduction is a process where a fragment of the DNA near the phage site can be moved.
