Gap junctions may be defined as the intercellular connection present between the cells of the animals. They are made of the connexons and present in all cells of the body except skeletal muscles.
The small molecules and ions can easily pass through the gap junctions. The neighbouring cells can pass the molecules and communicates with each other through the gap junctions. They are known as macula communicans. Invertebrates have the gap junction made of innexin.
Zwitterion also known as dipolar
ion refers to a substance that has at least one positive and one negative
electrical charge at different locations and the net charge of the entire
molecule is zero. Examples of zwitterions are amino acids.
I would say that its they are descendant of a common ancestor. DNA shows that our species and chimpanzees diverged from a common ancestor species that lived between 8 and 6 million years ago.
