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.

Answer:

Genetic variation  

Explanation:

Drift and natural selection are natural phenomena that occur when there exists genetic variation. In the first case (drift), the consequence will be the decrease in the genetic diversity, while natural selection will change the allele frequencies in order to favor adaptive genetic differentiation

Karolina [17]
A large deposit of sand and soil formed at the end of a river is a delta. When a river empties into the ocean, the current carrying smaller particles, such as soil and sand, slows down and eventually stops, causing these particles to be dropped off on the shore. This eventually leads to a triangular deposit, usually referred to as the mouth of the river.
