Solution
The correct option is A Synapse In the nervous system, a synapse is a structure that permits a neuron (or nerve cell) to pass an electrical or chemical signal to another neuron. Synapsis is the fusion of chromosome pairs at the start of meiosis. A cell junction (or intercellular bridge) is a type of structure that exists within the tissue of some multicellular organisms, such as animals. Cell junctions consist of multiprotein complexes that provide contact between neighbouring cells or between a cell and the extracellular matrix. Synapticula is one of the numerous calcareous processes which extend between, and unite, the adjacent septa of certain corals.
