<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
d. a neuron recharges before it can fire again.
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
- <em><u>Refractory periods are a short phase in time following an action potential where another action potential cannot be generated. </u></em>
- <em><u>It is the period immediately following the transmission of an impulse in nerve or muscle, in which a neuron or muscle cell regains its ability to transmit another impulse. </u></em>
- There are two types of refractory period, that is the absolute refractory period and the relative refractory period. Absolute refractory period is the first part of a refractory period during which, the neuron will not fire again no matter how great the stimulation and this only lasts for a short time.
- Relative refractory period occurs when a stronger than usual stimulus is required to trigger the action potential before the neuron returns to resting state.
Transcription in scientific genetics is used to describe the copying of the genetic sequence of DNA on messenger-RNA during expression of genes. On the other hand, translation is used to describe the use of the MRA to convert the gene sequence to amino acid sequences with the help of ribosomes.
