The best explanation of the difference is <span>Skin color, a polygenic trait, is also determined by environmental factors.
Environmental factors can greatly impact somebody's skin and its pigmentation. In this case, the presence of sunlight is the environmental factor - one of the boys works in a movie theater, with little to no exposure to the Sun, whereas the other one spends most of his days in sunlight, which is why his skin color is different from his brother's.

This is the unequal distribution of ions across a cell membrane.
Nady [450]

Answer:

Concentration gradient

Explanation:

Concentration gradient of the ions across the membrane generates the membrane resting potential.

Concentration gradient means that there is unequal distribution of the ions on different sides of membrane. For example, the concentration of K ions is much higher within the cell then out of the cell. Opposite is with the Na ions. When ions move from the area of their higher concentration to the are with the lower concentration, we say they move down the gradient or diffuse (no energy required). On the other hand, movement of ions against their gradient means that this process requires energy and involves protein pumps.
