An action potential traveling along the entire length of an axon demonstrates <u>continuous</u> propagation.

Propagation of action potential:

  • An action potential is created by the rapid input of Na+ ions and the slightly slower outflow of K+ ions.
  • Action potential initiation occurs in the axon's first segment, and as action potentials spread throughout the axon, cells can convey their output to synapses located further distant from the cell.
  • The action potential conducts continuously in unmyelinated axons, whereas it conducts rapidly and saltatorily in myelinated axons where sodium channels are concentrated near the nodes of Ranvier.
  • The action potential always advances in the same direction whenever a local current begins to form due to the prior axon segment still being in the absolute refractory period. As a result, action potentials travel away from the location of their generation and do not change course.

Sharks have existed on Earth for centuries, even thousands of years with very little change to their structure. Why do you think
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

Sharks, in their basal form have been on Earth for hundreds of millions of years.  They were the first to develop a stream-like, torpedo shaped body and created a niche for themselves. Their aerodynamic body shape has evolved to allow for efficient and dynamic movement in water. Having a cartilage instead of bones allowed them to grow large and still be relatively light and buoyant . After they've evolved flexible, protruding jaws, there wasn't much to change. They were able to adapt and exploit all the water habitats as the world was changing.

why is important to use an organism with a recessive phenotype in a cross with an organism of unknown Genotype
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

One of the central conclusions Mendel reached after studying and breeding multiple generations of pea plants was the idea that "[you cannot] draw from the external resemblances [any] conclusions as to [the plants'] internal nature." Today, scientists use the word "phenotype" to refer to what Mendel termed an organism's "external resemblance," and the word "genotype" to refer to what Mendel termed an organism's "internal nature." Thus, to restate Mendel's conclusion in modern terms, an organism's genotype cannot be inferred by simply observing its phenotype. Indeed, Mendel's experiments revealed that phenotypes could be hidden in one generation, only to reemerge in subsequent generations. Mendel thus wondered how organisms preserved the "elementen" (or hereditary material) associated with these traits in the intervening generation, when the traits were hidden from view.
