Answer:
"Action potential is a rapid rise and subsequent fall in voltage or membrane potential across a cellular membrane with a characteristic pattern."
It is the mode through which a neuron transports electrical signals.
Explanation:
- Option - (a) is the best choice to choose from,
- <u>The refractory period :</u>
A second action potential cannot occur until the membrane has recovered or reestablished, this is the refractory period. The absolute refractory period coincides with inactivation of voltage-gated sodium channels which makes it impossible to generate another nerve impulse.
Answer:
(A): DNA and protein
(B): The case for proteins appeared stronger until the 1940s, especially since biochemists had identified them as a class of macromolecules with great heterogeneity and function specificity, essential requirements for the hereditary material. Moreover, little was known about nucleic acids, the physical and chemical properties of which seemed far too uniform to account for the multitude of specific hereditary traits of each organism
(C): Virulent strains are pathogenic (causing disease), whereas non-virulent strains are non-pathogenic (harmless) strains.
