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.

elena-s [515]

Explanation:

Incomplete dominance is an intermediate effect of the dominance where the allele for a trait does not express its complete effect of a paired allele as a result both the alleles show their equal effect on the trait.

The generations are produced having a third trait as observed in the case of snapdragon flowers. In the case of flowers  

The allele which  

1. Determines the red color will be- R

2. Determines the white color will be- r

The monohybrid cross will have parents with genotypes:  

1. Red flower- RR

2. white flower-rr

The F₁ generation will have offsprings with genotype-  

RR X rr = Rr (Pink flower)

The F₂ generation will have offsprings with-  

Rr x Rr= RR, Rr and rr.
