ction potentials typically move in one direction along the neuron away from the cell body. This is due to which of the following

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

The correct answer is option A. "the temporary hyperpolarization of the axon membrane following the action potential spike".

Explanation:

Action potentials, also known as "spikes" or "impulses", are electric impulses that neurons use to send information from the cell's body down to the axon. The impulses are created when ions travel across the neuron's membrane creating a depolarization current. This depolarization current is responsible for an temporary hyperpolarization of the axon membrane following the action potential spike. When neurons are hyperpolarized they are not able to produce another action potential. In consequence, actions potentials move in one direction along the neuron away from the cell body, as well as, adjacent locations go trough similar depolarization processes.

Who discovered that dna was the genetic material or transforming factor that could convert nonvirulent r-type streptococcus pneu

KatRina [158]

Discovery
In 1928 it was discovered by Frederick Griffith in an experiment generally known as transformation.

Experiment
In his experiment he considered two strains of <em>streptococus pneumonia,</em> one was R-type which was non-virulent and cause no disease in mice, other was virulent and S-type which cause disease and at last death of mice.
This experiment was comprised of four steps which are as follow:

Step 1:
First he injected living strain of S into mice, after sometime mouce died.

Step 2:
He injected living strain of R into mice, the mice alive as he did not got any disease.

Step 3:
He injected heat killed strain of S into mice and mice remain alive.

Step 4:
He mixed living R strain with heat killed S strain and then inject into mice. As a result the mice died.

Conclusion:
It was found that genetic material from heat killed S stain were transferred to living R (non-virulent) strain, as a result R become virulent and cause the death of mice.
