Biology
1 answer:
7nadin3 [17]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Potassium ions

Explanation:

Neurons are the cells which are involved in the transmission of the electrical impulse in the organism. The electrical impulse is generated as a result of the movement of ions across the neuron.

The neurons when are at rest still maintains the electric potential at -70 mv. This potential is due to the difference in the ions inside and outside of the neuron. The neurons contain a very high amount of potassium ions inside whereas the sodium outside.

But the potassium ions present inside the neuron continuously leaks from inside through the leak channels (high number compared to sodium channels) causing a slight electronegative charge in the neuron.  Thus, Potassium ions are correct.

In pea plants, the allele for inflated pod seed, I, is dominant over the allele for constricted pod seed, i. The Punnett square
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

<em>The offspring which carries the allele II will be homozygous dominant.</em>

Explanation:

A dominant trait can be described as a trait which masks the effect of a recessive trait. A recessive trait can be described as a trait which gets masked by the dominant trait.

A homozygous dominant trait occurs when both the alleles for the gen are dominant. A heterozygous dominant trait occurs when one allele is dominant and the other is recessive for the trait.  

Hence, a homozygous dominant trait will carry the alleles II.
