    The nerve which supplies impulses to the top of the foot is the dorsal nerve. This nerve is responsible for sensory innervation of the dorsal (top) surface of the foot. It carries sensory information such as touch, temperature, and pain from the skin on the top of the foot to the brain. The other options, digital, saphenous, and ulnar, are not the correct answers as they are associated with different areas of the body and do not supply impulses to the top of the foot.

    When conditions are unfavorable for reproduction, bacteria will go dormant after forming a tough covering called a

    • Shell

    • Mitosis

    • Spore

    • Flagella

    Correct Answer
    A. Spore
    Explanation
    When conditions are unfavorable for reproduction, bacteria have the ability to go dormant in order to survive. They do this by forming a tough covering called a spore. This spore provides protection to the bacteria and allows them to remain in a dormant state until conditions become more favorable for reproduction. During this time, the bacteria are able to withstand harsh environments and can remain dormant for extended periods of time. Once conditions improve, the spore will break open and the bacteria will resume their normal reproductive processes.
