kirza4 [7]3 years ago
6 0

The horse and donkey, though closely related by sharing a common ancestor, are different species. They have different number of chromosomes hence pairing of homologous chromosomes during fusion of gametes becomes complicated. The mule will have an extra chromosome from the horse hence will have abnormalities such as sterility. A Mule is unable to reproduce due to this same phenomenon. Homologous chromosomes are not well paired for meiosis I.

An action potential triggers the release of synaptic vesicles into the synaptic cleft by _____ channels, allowing _____ ions to
noname [10]

Answer:

1. opening Voltage gated channels

2. Calcium

Explanation:

The signals are transmitted in the neurons in the form of electrical signals and which are transformed into the chemical signals at the synaptic cleft.

The electrical signal is transformed into a chemical signal when the electrical impulse reaches the terminal of the axon and opens the calcium voltage channels. The calcium which is present in a higher amount than inside enter into the terminal and allows fusion of the synaptic vesicle carrying neurotransmitter and the neurotransmitter is released into the synapse.

The neurotransmitter then binds the receptors and initiates the electrical impulse in the postsynaptic neuron.

Thus, opening Voltage gated channels and Calcium is the correct answer.
