Answer:

The given statement is false.

A neuron is the basic structural and functional unit of the nervous system. It helps in transmitting information from one neuron to another neuron, gland, or muscle cell.

The conduction of nerve impulse is electrochemical in nature. It transmits the impulse electrically through the axon the nerve cells and chemically through synapses (gap between two nerves cells).

The axon terminals of pre-synaptic nerve cell release chemical messengers (also called neurotransmitters) in the synaptic cleft. These messengers then bind to the receptors present on the post-synaptic nerve cell and regenerate the nerve impulse.

Coat color in a dog breed is determined by incomplete dominance where three colors are produced (Brown, tan and white), and the
8_murik_8 [283]

Genotypes of the dog color are:

BB dominant homozygous-brown phenotype

bb recessive homozygous-white phenotype

Bb heterozygous-tan phenotype

Cross between brown and pan dog would be:

P: BB x Bb

F1: BB  Bb  BB  Bb

The ratio would be 1:1 (brown dog:pan dog).

Write a short discussion describing trends in the data: compare the control cups (distilled water) versus the experimental cups
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

The leaf discs only float in bicarbonate solution and in the light environment.

Explanation:

The bicarbonate dissolves in water to produce a source of inorganic CO2 in the reaction:

NaHCO3 + H2O → H2CO3 + OH- + Na+

Then, the HCO3- undergoes fixation through several complex steps in order to form a carbohydrate or sugar. These store the converted solar energy in their bonds as chemical energy to be used in metabolism.

Photosynthesis is a chemical process, essential to plant and other primary producers producing energy. Energy in the form of glucose molecules is derived from solar or light energy, water, and inorganic carbon dioxide, while it releases oxygen (from the light reaction). The leaf discs float as O2 gas is produced, making them buoyant.

6CO2 + 6H20 + (energy) → C6H12O6 + 6O2

Carbon dioxide + water + energy= glucose + oxygen

tresset_1 [31]

Answer: the graph supports: background extinctions, mass extinctions affected the evolution of mammals and dinosaurs

The graph does not support:both mammas and dinosaur revolved in the pattern of gradualism, dinosaurs evolved by adaptive radiation, and convolution affected the evolution of mammals and dinosaurs

Explanation:The graph only shows mass extinctions and background extinctions

What are similarities and differences between the organization and structure of DNA in bacterial cells and in human cells?
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
Both human and bacteria cells contain DNA and both have a outer membrane that controls how materials come into and leave the cell.

Predominantly multicellular not in bacteria but in human body

*Cell contains a nucleus and other membrane bound organelles not in bacteria but in human body..

*DNA occurs in a circular form* in bacteria only..

* Ribosomes size in bacteria 70s and in human body 80s

*Capable of growth at temperatures greater than 80 C only in bacteria

*His tone proteins present in cell only in human body cells

* Operons present in DNA only in bacteria..

Anton Leeuwenhoek Devised a primitive microscope to observe a sample of his tooth scrapings. How did this help contribute it to
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

C- it help to show that some bacteria are just one cell.

Explanation:

Anton Leeuwenhoek was the first scientist who observed the presence of bacteria in his tooth scratch under the microscope made by himself. At that time there was no concept of bacteria and he named those small creatures as animalcules which were later termed as bacteria.

Leeuwenhoek during 1670s  sent the details of his experimentation on algae and bacteria to Royal Society of London.

It was due to his that primitive experiment that made the discovery of bacteria and make it known to other scientists. Therefore option C is the best option that demonstrates that bacteria are single celled organisms that are very minute. When we look at cell theory there is a postulate that shows that cell is the fundamental unit of function and structure  of all living organisms. So, the work of Anton Leeuwenhoek holds substantial importance in the formulation of cell theory.

Hope it helps!
