The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Question**: The question is asking about the presence of unipolar neurons that have one axon and no dendrites. 2. **Define Unipolar Neurons**: Unipolar neurons are a type of neuron that has a single process extending from the cell body. This process splits into two branches: one that acts as a dendrite and the other as an axon. However, in the context of this question, we are focusing on unipolar neurons that have only an axon and no dendrites. 3. **Analyze the Options**: - **Option 1: Embryo**: Unipolar neurons are indeed present in embryos during the early stages of development. - **Option 2: Dorsal Root Ganglia of Spinal Cord**: This region contains primarily pseudounipolar neurons, which are similar but not exactly the same as unipolar neurons. - **Option 3: Brain**: The brain predominantly contains multipolar neurons. - **Option 4: Retina**: The retina contains bipolar neurons and other types, but not unipolar neurons. 4. **Select the Correct Answer**: Based on the analysis, the correct answer is **Embryo**, as unipolar neurons are typically found during embryonic development. 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the answer to the question is that unipolar neurons with an axon and no dendrites are present in **Embryos**.
