The myelin sheath is a layer that forms an insulating and protective coating around nerves. This sheath is fundamental for the functioning of the nervous system.

  • During neuronal firing, the part of the neuron that acts as an insulator and conductor to speed the electrical impulse as it travels down the axon is the MYELIN SHEATH.

  • This myelin layer is fundamental for the efficiency and velocity of the transmission of electrical impulses along nerves.

  • The damage of the myelin sheath is associated with different neuronal disorders (e.g., multiple sclerosis).

In a diploid cell with 5 chromosome pairs (2n = 10), how many sister chromatids will be found in a nucleus at prophase of mitosi
Ronch [10]
The prophase of mitosis consists of the condensation of the chromatin that is present in the cell. This chromatin condenses in order to ready itself for replication, and forms structures called chromosomes. Each chromosome consists of two chromatids.

Therefore, if there are 5 chromosomal pairs, there are 10 chromosomes. Each chromosome has two chromatids, which means that there are 20 chromatids.

Name the three types of population distribution, describe each, and explain the conditions that govern each.
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

Three types of population distribution:

Clumped.

Random.

Uniform.

Explanation:

1. Clumped:

This is the most common pattern of population dispersion.

organisms are clustered together in a group.

This may reflect the patchy distribution of resources in the environment.

2. Random:

This is a typical distribution where individuals do not interact strongly.

The organism has unpredictable distribution.

3. Uniform:

This is the typical environment where individuals compete with each other for scarce resources like water in the desert.

organisms are evenly spaced over the area they occupied.
