Best Answer

A synapse is a gap between one neuron and another. To communicate, a neurotransmitter has to be made and then used as a tool to stimulate the second neuron.
Synapses contain synaptic vesicles and other organelles such as the mitochondria.
Chemical neurotransmitters are manufactured by neurons in the main part of the cell, then stored in little bundles called synaptic vesicles and transferred to the synapses. They are then released into the space between the two neurons.
One type of neurotransmitter may stimulate and another type may be the opposite.

The formation of a tetrad during meiosis occurs as a result of?

Synapsis because a tetrad is the structure formed when the homologous double stranded chromosomes (4 chromatids) come together during the synapsis of meiosis.


What happens during synapsas in meiosis?

The purpose of synapsis in meiosis is to increase genetic variability. It does this as the homolog pairs match up, which means there are 4 chromosomes of like, but possibly unique, DNA data in the grouping. This allows the cell. as it proceeds through Anaphase 1 and Anaphase 2 to separate the individual chromosomes first into 2 pairs then as individuals, which inturn adds to the variability as 1 chromosome goes to each daughter cell. .

What important event occurs to chromosomes during interphase?

An important event that occurs during interphase is chromosome duplication (the uncoiling of the DNA). This prepares the cell for cell division as the cells are still growing during interphase.
