Myelin does more than protect axons, it also permits action potentials to travel more rapidly. Complete these True or False ques

Naddik [55]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The correct answer will be true.

Explanation:

Myelin is a protective and insulating layer formed around the neurons of the central and peripheral neurons.  The Schwann cells in the PNS and oligodendrocytes in the CNS form the myelin sheath around the neurons.

This myelin protects the axons of the neurons as well insulate the neurons which speed up the transmission of the electrical impulse generated in the neurons. If myelin is damaged, these impulses get slow or get damaged.

Thus, true is the correct answer.

A condition related to thiamin deficiency is known as
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

Option B, Beriberi

Explanation:

Thiamin is caused due to the deficiency of vitamin B-1 /thiamine whose chemical name is thiamine pyrophosphate. Thiamin is a water soluble vitamin which occurs naturally and is a very essential nutrient as it plays an important role in energy metabolism and hence regulate the growth, development, and function of cells  

Thiamin is stored in liver for a short duration as its life is extremely short and thus it should be ingested regulary.  

The deficiency of thiamin causes  beriberi and thus food like  whole grains, meat, fish breads, cereals etc. must be taken in sufficient amount regularly.

Viral hemagglutination assays only work with certain types of viruses because
nignag [31]

Answer:

a. the virus must be able to cross-link red blood cells directly.

Explanation:

Viral hemagglutination assay is a method which is used for the quantification of the relative concentration of the viruses.

The principle on which the hemagglutination assay works is as follows:

  1. There are sialic acid receptors present on the surface of the red blood cells which will bind to the haemagglutinin glycoprotein present  on the surface of the viral particle. 
  2. Due to the binding of the sialic acid receptors with haemagglutinin particle there will be cross-linking of the red blood cells by the viral particles and a lattice formation will take place. 
  3. The lattice will remain suspended in the solution however if the concentration of the virus particles will be less, the lattice will settle down in the well. 

Thus, this method allows knowing the relative concentration of the virus. 

<em>Due to its basic principle of cross-linking this method works well for only a few viruses such as influenza virus. </em>

Suppose that ear length in rabbits is controlled by two additive genes, each of which has two alleles. A true-breeding female (a
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

The ear length will be 11 cm.

Explanation:

To know about the ear length of F1 generation, we need to know that how much length in centimeters is contributed by each of the alleles. As we know, each allele has the same value for contributing to the effect of ear length, hence we can divide the ear length by 4 to get our results.

As 6 divided by 4 is 1.5 hence, the allele a and b contribute to 1.5 cm of the length of the ear.

6 divided by 4 is 4, hence the alleles And B contribute to 4 cm of the length of the ear.

The F1 generation will have AaBb genotype hence, the lenght will be 4+1.5+4+1.5 = 11 cm.
