Give two reasonsthat may account for the continuous firing of a<br> PostsynapticNeuron.
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

1.Continuous diffusion of negatively charged ions into the postsynaptic neurons , <u>which  leads to continuous reversal of charges (hyperpolarization) and therefore continuous firing of action potential</u>

2. Inhibition of hydrolytic enzymes e.g (acetycholinesterase)   that  metabolize activities of  cholinergic   neurotransmitters  e,g acetycholine at post synaptic cleft. leading to firing of action potential.

Explanation:

Neuron whose dendrites  transmits action potential to the  neuromuscular junction is called presynaptic neuron. While  neuron that  transmit action potential away from the neuronal synaptic junction, or from the neuromuscular  junction to the cell body of adjacent neuron or to effectors (gland and muscles) are called  post synaptic  neuron.

The more  negatively charged ions that diffused into the post synsptic neuron, the more depolarization, and the greater the frequency of action potential produced

The inhibition of  activities of hydrolytic enzyme which metabolize cholinergic neurotransmitter leads to  continuous   excitatory activities  of cholinergic neurotransmitters   on  the receptors at the postsynaptic neuron, and the more  action potential

Life as we know it depends on the genetic code: a set of codons, each made up of three bases in a DNA sequence and corresponding
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

5 bases

Explanation:

If there are 17 amino acids and only 2 bases that can be combined in order to make a codon then:

for 4 bases 4^{2} is 16 and it is not enough combination for all 17 amino acids

for 5 bases 5^{2} is 25 combinations (meaning that more than one codon could code for the same amino acid).

What is microgravity, and what causes it?
fgiga [73]

Answer:

The answer is because they are in free fall. In a vacuum, gravity causes all objects to fall at the same rate. The mass of the object does not matter. If a person drops a hammer and a feather, air will make the feather fall more slowly. But if there were no air, they would fall at the same acceleration.

explain the concept of mutation and how mutations can translate to a loss or gain of function in an organism
Vesnalui [34]

A mutation is a change in a DNA sequence. Mutations can result from DNA copying mistakes made during cell division, exposure to ionizing radiation, exposure to chemicals called mutagens, or infection by viruses. Germ line mutations occur in the eggs and sperm and can be passed on to offspring, while somatic mutations occur in body cells and are not passed on.

Recessive mutations inactivate the affected gene and lead to a loss of function. For instance, recessive mutations may remove part of or all the gene from the chromosome, disrupt expression of the gene, or alter the structure of the encoded protein, thereby altering its function.
