The rate of firing of the postsynaptic neuron depends on the amount of ______ input it receives from the presynaptic neuron.

The postsynaptic potential is the membrane potential, which takes place in the neuron present post synapsis (after the chemical synapse). The presynaptic neuron releases neurotransmitter, which causes the firing in the postsynaptic neurons.  

The firing of the post synaptic neuron depends on the excitation and inhibition inputs received from the presynaptic neuron. The firing is the resultant of the summation of excitatory and inhibitory potential. In case, the excitatory potential is greater than inhibitory potential, the post synaptic neuron would be excited. in case, inhibitory potential is greater than excitatory potential, then the post synaptic neuron would be inhibited.  


Hence, the correct answer is option d.

If an organism is homozygous for a particular trait, the organism A. has extra alleles on both chromosomes in a chromosome pair.
inysia [295]

<em>B. Has the same allele on both chromosomes in a chromosome pair. </em>

<u>Here is why:</u>

Homozygous means the same, while heterozygous means different. If both of the same alleles are on both chromosomes, then it will be a homozygous.

There can be two types of homozygous alleles.

~

<em>Homozygous Dominant</em>: BB

<em>Homozygous Recessive</em>: bb

<u>Notice in both of these they were the same alleles.</u>

~

<em>Heterozygous</em>: Bb

<u>Notice how both are different alleles.</u>

~

Below I have attached a diagram of a Punnett square I have made.

On the left is a homozygous recessive allele pair.

On the top is a heterozygous allele pair.
