Which of the following statements about neuron is incorrect?
Correct answer: D. Like all the living cells, they mature and divide to form similar cells
- A. They not only conduct impulses but also generate them
- B. They are not the only cellular component of nervous system
- C. They may show limited regenerative capabilities
- D. Like all the living cells, they mature and divide to form similar cells
Explanation
D is correct option because in the neurons there is absence of centrioles or centrosomes .Due to absence of centrioles they don't perform mitosis or meiosis and are unable to divide and produce similar cells.

About Coordination and Control
Coordination depends on receptors, neurons, synapses and nerve impulses, with reflex actions traced through the reflex arc and the roles of major brain regions. Chemical coordination covers endocrine glands and hormones, including how hormones regulate growth, metabolism, reproduction and internal balance, unlike rapid nervous control.
