consciousness is rooted in the midbrain
<u>Answer:</u>
The typical state of a neuron is the<u> resting potential</u>, but when electrical signals stimulate it to its threshold, the <u>action potential</u> is immediately observed.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The capacity for rest shows what occurs when a neuron is at rest. A capacity for action takes place when a neuron passes information down an axon, far from the cell body. When depolarization exceeds approximately -55 mV a neuron can activate the capacity for action.
Sodium-potassium valves start moving two potassium ions within the cell as three sodium ions are poured out to keep the negatively charged membrane within the cell; this keeps the resting potential in place.
Seymour Benzer used phage T4 mutants, Experimental
evidence that a gene is a linear sequence of nucleotide pairs. Some regions of
chromosomes have "hot spots" for mutations. Benzer's experimental
approach to fine structure mapping of the rII locus. Generated 1612 spontaneous point mutations
and several deletions in rII locus identified two complementation groups, rIIA
and rIIB. Mapped locations of deletions
relative to each other using recombination.
Mapped locations of point mutations relative to the deletions. Tested
for recombination between all point mutations within the same complementation
group.
