Answer: Components of cell junctions

Explanation:

<u>Fibroblasts are cells located in the dermis,</u> responsible for the formation and remodeling of tissue. They synthesize fibers and maintains the extracellular matrix of the tissue of animals. So, t<u>he extracellular matrix is a structurally complex entity that surrounds and supports the cells found in tissues</u>.

A cell junction a structure that exists within the tissues of animals and they consist of protein complexes that provide contact between cells or between a cell and the extracellular matrix. So if the cells do not appear flattened and do not attach to the extracellular matrix, then there is a problem with the components of cell junctions, which are mostly proteins as it was said before. And since proteins are coded by genetic information stored in DNA, then if there is a mutation in any of those genes, the fibroblast will fail to attach because the protein of the cell junction will be abnormal.

If a postsynaptic neuron is stimulated to threshold by spatial summation this implies that ________. If a postsynaptic neuron is
Maslowich

Answer:

The postsynaptic cell has many synapses with many presynaptic neurons

Explanation:

Spatial summation is a process of producing an action potential in a neuron with input from multiple presynaptic nerve cells. This process determines whether an action potential will be triggered upon reaching threshold from multiple synapses with presynaptic neurons. Summation of all inputs determines if an action potential will b generated.

pashok25 [27]
Hi, the answer to this question would be an Molecular Clock. A molecular clock is a technique used by researchers that uses mutation rates in DNA to estimate the length of time that two species have been evolving independtly. Hope this helped :)
