Answer:A) No; action potentials result in increased permeability of the plasma membrane to sodium.

Explanation

Action potential is generated when influx of sodium ions occurs through the voltage gated ion channels in the nodes of ranvier cells, into the axoplasm. Provided the stimulus is strong enough more Sodium gated channels open and Sodium ions move in.

As sodium pump only pump sodium ions out of the cells , and it is sodium inlfux that causes action potentia,l this does not cause action potential .

In addition ATPs hydrolysis which supply energy for the sodium pump does not lead to action potential.

A challenge to traditional (pre-1860) ideas about species came from embryology, when it was discovered that embryos of dissimilar organisms, such as sharks and humans, resemble each other. Embryology involves the study of the formation and the development of an embryo and the fetus. It is one type of evidence of evolution such that the embryos of many different kinds of animals, mammals, reptiles, birds, fish among others, are similar showing a common ancestry.
