The correct option is C. Increase Na⁺  permeability

An excitatory postsynaptic potential(EPSP) is generated when positively charged ions flow into the postsynaptic cell due to the opening of ligand-sensitive channels. Due to more influx of sodium ions the positive charge inside the neural cell increases and so, it becomes depolarized.

The function of the sodium-potassium pump is to maintain the osmotic equilibrium and membrane potential in the cells. As the ions sodium and potassium move against the concentration gradient, this pump helps to maintain their flow.

K⁺ ions are present in greater amounts inside the cell and  Na⁺ ions are present in greater amounts on the outside. If the permeability for K⁺  increases the membrane inside will become even more negative and it will lead to hyperpolarisation of the neuron.

Can amoeba have offspring with different genes and traits
stepan [7]

Here is your answer

No

______________________________

REASON:

Amoeba reproduces by the process of binary fusion which is an asexual mode of reproduction.

Since, in asexual method mitosis cell division takes place, same DNA material is transferred to the offsprings so no new traits and genes can be found in offsprings.

However in some case due to genetic drift or mutation, slight variations can be found in progeny.

But this is very exceptional.

Compare and contrast DNA and RNA.
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

Thus, the major difference between DNA and RNA is that DNA is double-stranded and RNA is single-stranded. DNA is responsible for genetic information transmission, whereas RNA transmits genetic codes that are necessary for protein creation.

How does the feild that surrounds the electromagnet differ from the Earths magnetic field
tino4ka555 [31]

The differences between the geomagnetism and electromagnetism are given below.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

Geomagnetism is defined as the magnetic field that is located all around the earth. Whereas electromagnetism is defined as the magnetic field that is produced due to passing of electricity through a conductor.

The geomagnetism is formed because of the molten elements of iron etc which are present inside Earth's core, and are continuously moving. It mostly resembles the solid block magnet in its field characteristics. But electromagnetism is different. It can be changed according to the current input which isn't possible for Earth’s magnetic field.
