The correct option is (C) The neuron’s membrane voltage becomes more positive.

The resting neuron has a voltage across its membrane which is called the resting membrane potential. There is a concentration gradient of ions across the membrane when the neuron is in the resting state.

Inside the membrane the concentration of  K⁺ and organic anions are more. Outside the membrane the concentration of Na⁺ is more. The membrane is much more permeable to K⁺  than Na⁺ .

The cell’s inside is more negative than the outside when the membrane is hyperpolarized. In neurons the resting membrane potential is close to the equilibrium potential for K⁺.

When conducting an experiment on how stimuli are represented by the firing of neurons, you notice that neurons respond different
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

Sparse coding

Explanation:

Sparse coding can be described or explained as a situation where items are encoded or represented by strong activation of a relatively small sets of neurons.

It should be understood that neurons code for the intensity of stimulus , and this is done in two ways which are

* Frequency coding...here, the firing rate of sensory neurons increases with increased intensity, and

* Population coding....here, the number of primary afferent responding increases.

In this case, the results derived or gotten from both Arthur's and Roger's faces supported the sparse coding.

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

Lysine

Explanation:

lysine residues on the histone tails of the octamer cn be activated by both acetylation and methylation patterns to influence accessibility or silencing of the genes respectiviely. for example, acetylation of H3K27 (histone 3 lysine residue 27) brings about a region of active chromatin allowing access to transcription activity while its trimethylation  will cause silencing of the associated gene at that particular area (no expression of that gene)

Ann [662]

Answer: C. Radical global climate change.

Explanation:

The entire taxa of the species can be wiped out due to an large catastrophic event associated with the change in the climate. As the climate becomes warm the chances of undergoing the global precipitation rate will change. The climate being an important abiotic factor under unstability is likely to affect the amount of rainfall, snow fall, drought and conditions of desertification. All these factors can be responsible for the removal of the entire taxa of the species in short time.
