An ion channel that opens when neurotransmitter binds to it is called a ligand-gated channel. Ligand-gated channel is a group of transmembrane ion channel proteins which open to allow the passage of ions such as Na+, K+ through the membrane upon activation by a specific chemical such as a neurotransmitter.

An ion channel that opens when neurotransmitter binds to it is called a Ligand-gated ion channel. These channels are also called ionotropic receptors; they open to allow ions such as potassium ions, sodium and calcium and/or chloride ions to pass through the membrane in response to the binding of a chemical messenger or a ligand (for example a neurotransmitter).

What causes genetic variation to be preserved or eliminated <br> how does that affect evolution?
kkurt [141]

Answer: genetic variation is a mutation or a change in the sequence of DNA. It can be preserved if that sequence is needed for a species to survive ( evolution). It can also be preserved if that sequence is strong enough to be passed down from mother to child. The mutation can be eliminated if it causes distress to the animal or if it makes the animals chances of survival smaller. If an extra fin on a dolphin helped it to better escape its predator and better obtain food then this trait may stick around because it is beneficial to the species. If the fin cause the dolphin to swim slower then the dolphin may not survive to reproduce or the trait will not pass on.
