<u>Answer:</u>
The typical state of a neuron is the<u> resting potential</u>, but when electrical signals stimulate it to its threshold, the <u>action potential</u> is immediately observed.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The capacity for rest shows what occurs when a neuron is at rest. A capacity for action takes place when a neuron passes information down an axon, far from the cell body. When depolarization exceeds approximately -55 mV a neuron can activate the capacity for action.
Sodium-potassium valves start moving two potassium ions within the cell as three sodium ions are poured out to keep the negatively charged membrane within the cell; this keeps the resting potential in place.
Meisosis helps skin fix itself after it's been cut
Answer:
the mRNA goes through extensive modifications such as addition of a poly tail and a 5' cap in eukaryotes but not in prokaryotes.
Differences:
- the promoters in prokaryotes have a -35 and -10 box while in eukaryotes they are variable but have a TATA box from
- the transcription initiation site there is a single RNA polymerase in prokaryotes while eukaryotes have multiple RNA polymerases
- the sigma factor associates with the promoter region in prokaryotes but in eukaryotes there are many basal transcription factors
Explanation:
Ribosomal and transfer RNAs are processed both in prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. However, mRNA is only processed in eukaryotes. In eukaryotic cells, mRNA processing involves:
1. Capping at the 5' end. This process has several functions including regulation of nuclear export, prevention of eukaryotic mRNA degradation and promotion of translation.
2. Splicing in order to remove introns and conserve coding exons. Splicing helps to increase the diversity of the eukaryotic mRNAs (and therefore eukaryotic proteins)
3. Polyadenylation by the addition of a poly(A) tail at the 3' end. The poly(A) tail makes the eukaryotic mRNA molecule more stable and also prevents its degradation by exonucleases.
<em>G1, S and G2 phases are all cumulatively referred to as interphase involving the growth of a cell and the replication of its DNA. Initially in G1 phase, the cell grows physically and increases the volume of both protein and organelles. In S phase, the cell copies its DNA to produce two sister chromatids and replicates its nucleosomes. Finally, G2 phase involves further cell growth and organisation of cellular contents. The S phase of a cell cycle occurs during interphase, before mitosis or meiosis, and is responsible for the synthesis or replication of DNA. In this way, the genetic material of a cell is doubled before it enters mitosis or meiosis, allowing there to be enough DNA to be split into daughter cells. The S phase only begins when the cell has passed the G1 checkpoint and has grown enough to contain double the DNA. S phase is halted by a protein called p16 until this happens.</em>
Answer:
What would happen if gametes had a full set of DNA? The number of DNA strands would double with each generation. One gamete cell divides into four cells, but each resulting cell has half the amount of DNA as compared to the original cell. Body cell mitosis
