The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Unipolar Neurons**: - Unipolar neurons are characterized by having a single axon and no dendrites. This means they have a unique structure compared to other types of neurons, such as bipolar and multipolar neurons. 2. **Identifying Locations of Unipolar Neurons**: - To answer the question, we need to identify where unipolar neurons are typically found. 3. **Evaluating the Options**: - **Option 1: Embryos**: Unipolar neurons are indeed present in embryos during early development. - **Option 2: Dorsal Root Ganglia**: This area primarily contains pseudounipolar neurons, which are a type of unipolar neuron, but they are not strictly classified as unipolar in the same sense as those found in embryos. - **Option 3: Spinal Cord**: The spinal cord mainly contains multipolar neurons, making this option incorrect. - **Option 4: Brain**: The brain also contains primarily multipolar neurons, so this option is incorrect as well. - **Option 5: Retina**: The retina contains bipolar neurons and other types, but not unipolar neurons. 4. **Conclusion**: - Based on the analysis, the correct answer is that unipolar neurons with an axon and no dendrites are present in **embryos**. **Final Answer**: Unipolar neurons with an axon and no dendrite are present in **embryos**. ---
