Neurons CANNOT undergo division, because they do not have.
Correct answer: A. Centrosome
- A. Centrosome
- B. Nucleus
- C. Mitochondria
- D. Golgi apparatus
Explanation
Option A: Neurons cannot undergo division because they do not have centrosomes. Centrosomes are organelles that help to organize microtubules, which are essential for cell division. Without centrosomes, neurons cannot properly divide and therefore cannot repair themselves or replace damaged cells. Option B: The nucleus contains the cell's DNA, which is essential for cell division. Option C: Mitochondria are responsible for generating energy for the cell. Option D: Golgi apparatus is responsible for processing and packaging proteins. All of these organelles are essential for the normal function of neurons, but they are not necessary for cell division.

About Chemical Coordination and Hormones
Chemical coordination uses hormones released by endocrine glands and carried in blood to specific target cells. Coverage includes the pituitary, thyroid, pancreas, adrenal glands, ovaries and testes, feedback control, and the contrast between slower, longer-lasting hormonal responses and rapid nervous coordination.
