Answer:

E. All of the above

Explanation:

In cardiac contractile cells there is rapid depolarization, then a plateau phase and repolarization.

when an action potential stimulates the cell, voltage-gated channels open quickly commencing the positive-feedback mechanism of depolarization. This in turn raises the membrane potential to approximately +30 mV, and this closes the sodium channels. Next comes the plateau phase, where membrane potential declines relatively slowly due to the opening of the slow Ca2+ channels, allowing Ca2+ to enter the cell while few K+ channels are open, leading to K+ to exit. Once the membrane potential reaches approximately zero, the Ca2+ channels close and K+ channels open, allowing the exit of K+. The repolarization lasts approximately for a while and here is when the membrane potential drops until it reaches resting levels once more and repeats the cycle.

You must draw a Punnett square and work out these problems to get the correct answers. In cats, long-hair (H) is dominant to sho
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is -

Genotypes: 1 heterozygous dominant: 1 recessive

Phenotypes: 1 long hair cat: 1 short hair cat

probability: 50% chances of both long and short hair cats

Explanation:

It is given that long hair is a dominant represented by H, over the short hair represented by h. In the cross of a heterozygous cat for long hair with a cat with short hair, would produce H, h and h, h gametes respectively.

Cross: Hh × hh

    H    h

h    Hh   hh

h   Hh   hh

In this Punnett, there are two heterozygous long hair offspring produced and two short-hair cats.

So, Genotypes: 1 heterozygous dominant: 1 recessive

Phenotypes: 1 long hair cat: 1 short hair cat

probability: 50% chances of both long and short hair cats

What was the Court’s decision in United States v. Nixon (1974) and how did the decision uphold the idea that even the President
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

The Supreme Court decided that the President was required to turn over tape recordings and other materials that had been subpoenaed by special prosecutor Leon Jaworski.

In trying to withhold some materials related to the Watergate investigation, Nixon's lawyer had argued that the President of the United States "is not subject to the processes of any court in the land except the court of impeachment." The Supreme Court disagreed, in unanimous fashion. They held that the President could not use executive privilege as an excuse for hiding wrongdoing or avoiding prosecution. In an interview some years after his resignation, Nixon still held to his view, claiming that when the President does something, "that means that it is not illegal." He felt that being in the position of President put him above the law. But the Supreme Court had firmly disagreed. They rejected the idea of "absolute, unqualified Presidential privilege of immunity from judicial process under all circumstances." Executive privilege can only protect matters of military or diplomatic confidentiality
