If some of the axons innervating a given cell are destroyed or if they become inactive, what compensatory process takes place in

the remaining presynaptic cells?​

Anna [14]2 years ago

The question is incomplete as it does not have the option which are:

  • activation of previously silent synapses
  • removal of toxins
  • denervation supersensitivity
  • collateral sprouting

Answer:

​Collateral sprouting

Explanation:

Collateral sprouting refers to a process in which the neurons which are still alive after they are destroyed or inactive, grows or sprouts its axons to the disabled territory.

The collateral sprouting is observed in the case of the somatic nervous system when the muscles are injured or destroyed. The motor neurons present in the injured part sprouts its axons to the muscle to keep them reinnervate and functional at that time.

In the given question, since some of the innervated axons get destroyed therefore the other axons will undergo collateral sprouting.

Thus, collateral sprouting is the correct answer.

Virty [35]

Answer:

In studying the origin of the universe, one of the primary unanswered questions is <u>what came before the big bang.</u>

Explanation:

The big bang theory can be described as a theory which scientists have proposed to explain how the universe came into existence. This theory predicts how the extremely hot temperatures and dense atmosphere might have given rise to the stars and the galaxies.

Scientists have no idea what happened before the big bang theory. Some scientists predict that there might be another universe which collapsed before the big bang theory. While other scientists claim that there was nothing before the big bang.

tresset_1 [31]

Hello. This question is incomplete. Also, you forgot to show the flowchart. The flowchart is attached below and the full question is:

The flowchart below shows the three generations of a cross between a pea plant that has yellow pods and a pea plant that has green pods. Green pods are the dominant trait. The flowchart is missing the labels that describe the traits.

In which squares should the phrase “Green pods” appear?

1.A and D  2.B and E  3.A,C and D  4.A,B,C,D and E

Answer:

3.A,C and D

Explanation:

As shown in the question above, the flowchart shows the crossing of a pea plant with dominant features (green pods - AA) and a pea plant with recessive features (yellow features - aa). The crossing between plants with AA and aa alleles generates a completely Aa population, which in this case, has the dominant characteristic, that is, it has green pods. This is because the "Aa" alleles are called heterozygous and develop the dominant characteristic.

As we can see in the flowchart, the crossing between the two pea plants generated an offspring that is identified by table C, as we know this offspring has green pods and in the flowchart it is represented by a grayish rectangle. Therefore, we can say that the other gray rectangles represent pea plants with green pods, which are rectangles A, C and D.

In order to make new nucleic acids your body needs food that contains carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen as well as
sweet-ann [11.9K]

The correct answer is option D, that is, nitrogen and phosphorus.  

Nucleic acids refer to the macromolecules comprising oxygen, hydrogen, phosphorus, and carbon. They are the small biomolecules or the biopolymers, playing an essential role in all the known forms of life.  

They comprise nucleotides that are the monomers formed of three constituents, that is, a 5-carbon sugar, a nitrogenous base, and a phosphate group. If the sugar is obtained from ribose as deoxyribose, then the polymer is DNA, and if the sugar is a compound ribose, then the polymer is RNA.

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

  1.25 µm

Explanation:

The cell will have a length dimension that is 1/40000 times the length of the image:

  (50·10^-3 m)/(40·10^3) = 1.25·10^-6 m = 1.25 µm
