How does the response to acetylcholine in the presence of nifedipine compare to the response to acetylcholine without nifedipine

Paladinen [302]

Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR), are ligand-gated ion channels and they can be a Na+, K+ and Ca2+ ion channel. Since nifedipine is a Ca2+ channel blocker (Ca2+ channel antagonist), it might inhibit the response of acetylcholine (if its receptor is Ca channel).

If one is constructing a phylogeny of reptiles using DNA sequence data, which taxon (birds, mammals, amphibians or fish) might b

neonofarm [45]

Answer: If one is constructing a phylogeny of reptiles using DNA sequence data of birds, mammals, amphibians or fish, the suitable outgroup to be used are mammals due to the time of divergence from other group of organisms.

Explanation: Phylogeny is used to determine evolutionary relationship between items or organisms. A phylogenetic tree is a graphical illustration of phylogenetic relationship. In phylogeny, an outgroup represent an organism that is more distantly related to other group of organisms.

In a phylogenetic tree, outgroup stands alone. It shows that the time of divergence of that particular organism is far from other group of organisms. Outgroup is used to root a tree and sometimes represent a group that is more ancestral on a tree.

It should be noted that differences in the DNA sequences of the organisms under consideration will determine which organism will serve as the outgroup.
