- Which of the following defines neurotransmitters?
- They are the units that contain the instructions for forming proteins, which, in turn, determine how the neuron performs.
- B. They are chemical messengers that travel across the synapse, allowing neurons to communicate with their neighbors.
- They are long projections of the neuron through which electrical messages travel.
- They are gaps that form between the myelin sheaths in the neuron through which chemical messages travel.

Topic: Biological Perspective
- Teresa has inherited allele A from her mother and allele B from her father. Allele A is the dominant gene that affects the production of the protein Huntington in such a way that it causes Huntington’s disease. Allele B is the recessive gene that does not cause Huntington’s disease. On the basis of the given information, which of the following is likely to be the result of this inheritance?
- Teresa is not affected by Huntington’s disease.
- B. Teresa suffers from Huntington’s disease.
- Teresa is a carrier of Huntington’s disease.
- Teresa is immune to Huntington’s disease.
