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.

The seed color of the garden pea was used to derive Mendel's two laws: segregation and independent assortment. Now, we know that
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:1.Yellow color will be dominant and the ratio is Yellow to green allele is 3:1

2.A recessive test cross should be appropriate.The result will be all yellow colored pea plants.

Explanation:

Since Yy x Yy produces

1YY,2Yy and 1yy then it shows that YY and Yy are 3 yellow pea plants and 1yy green pea plant.

A recessive test cross should be used because a recessive genotype being homozygous can be noticed by its physical appearance

Jane has o-type blood and is married to Tom who has
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer: It is possible for two O bloody type to have a child of Blood type B which can be caused by mutation.

Mutation is the changes in genetic content or DNA . Although it is normal for two O blood type parents to have O type child but it is technically possible for O blood type parents to have child of A or B blood type which is due to changes in DNA. Changes in DNA can be caused when sunlight hit our bodies, conversion of food to energy , when our body absorb some chemicals and when our cells try to copy another DNA. The differences between the blood types A, B, and O is very small. This makes it possible for a mother of O blood type produce B egg or a father of O blood type produce B sperm which is caused by mutation.

For a parents with blood type O to have a child with B type blood, the parents blood type O would have to look like B type .

Explanation:

Mutation is the change in genetic material or DNA. It can lead to change in blood type of humans with different parents blood types. This mutation can be caused by chemicals we breathe in, exposure to sunlight and so on.
