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⁺.

Tema [17]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

Anthers release pollen, which lands on the stigma of another flower of the same species. The pollen grain produces a pollen tube that grows down the style, to the ovary, and into the ovule. The sperm cell fertilizes the egg cell. The ovule develops into the seed, and the ovary becomes the fruit.

<em>During fertilization in plants, the anther which carries pollen releases pollen grains. Once the pollen lands on the stigma of a flower of the same species, it germinates. The pollen grain produces a pollen tube that grows through the style of the stigma down to the ovary and into the ovule. One of the sperm cells fuses with the egg cell of the ovule to form the zygote while the other sperm cell fuses with the polar nuclei to form the endosperm in a process known as double fertilization. After fertilization, the fertilized ovule becomes the seed and the ovary becomes the fruit. </em>

A man with the autosomal recessive disorder phenylketonuria (PKU) and a woman without PKu heve a son named Peter, who does not h
Anton [14]

Answer:

<h2>2. Peter's maternal grandfather has PKU.</h2>

Explanation:

  • Such type of the genetic disorder in which two copies of a gene must be mutated at a time is called autosomal recessive disorder such as sickle cell anemia, phenylketonuria, and some other diseases.
  • When a sing copy of a gene is mutated in a person then this disorder is not appeared and the person is called a carrier.
  •  So when a child is born by two carrier parents then there is a chance that a child will be affected if both the parents donate mutated genes.
  • In the case of Peter, since peter does not show this defect this means his maternal grandfather was affected by this disorder.

How did the asteroid that smashed into Yucatan, Mexico 66 million years ago kill so many organisms (including the non-avian dino
Bad White [126]

Explanation:

Dinosaurs are living organisms that depends on the environment for survival. As the asteroid hits the Yucatan Peninsula area about 66 million years a couple of things can happen:

Frictional heating of the surface as the earth collided with the asteroid. This heating will cause surface temperature to rise globally and can induce the phenomenon of global warming. This can lead to release of water from reservoirs on the earth surface and hence flooding.

The impact can lead to increase in surface pressure beyond normal and that which life has adjusted to.

Debris in form of dust will be released into the atmosphere and a global air pollution will occur. Gases useful for life will be highly polluted by the vast amount of dusts and other particles discharged into the atmosphere.
