Alik [6]3 years ago

A neuron enters hyperpolarization when there's an efflux of the potassium ions and the influx of chlorine ions. This moving out of positively charged cations and moving in of negatively charged anions makes the neuron enter a state of negative membrane potential. If a hyperpolarized neuron is stimulated by an oncomming action potential, it fails to get excited. This is because the neuron has its potassium ion channel inactivated by the negative potential. The potassium ion channel can only be activated when the potassium ions slowly leak inside to neuron to make it enter the state of resting membrane potential.

AlekseyPX

Answer:

C. Primary, secondary, and tertiary structures would be altered

Explanation:

Frameshift mutations refer to the mutations that change the reading frame of the gene. Frameshift mutations are mostly caused by insertion or deletion of nucleotide since addition or loss of nucleotide alters all the codons present downstream of the point of the mutation site. If frameshift mutation occurs at the beginning of the protein sequence, all the downstream amino acids would be altered.

The changed amino acid sequence would alter the primary structure of the protein. Since the secondary and tertiary structure of proteins is determined by interactions between the R groups of amino acids, their polarity, charge, etc., the altered amino acid sequence would also alter secondary, and tertiary of the protein.
