Answer:
Cell Division. Read explanation
Explanation:
It wouldn't be any of the sex cells so that would take out gene activity and offpsring. The only thing that changes the somatic (body) cells would be the slowing of cell division which I would assume is the correct answer.
Answer:
Explanation:
The cell membrane separates the cell from the outer environment. The extracellular fluid contains the sodium ions (Na+), chloride ions (Cl-), while intracellular fluid contains potassium (K +) and negative anions.
The potential difference arises when the membrane is selectively permeable to some ions. The resting potential is -70mV.
When the neurons get excited, the sodium ions start to enter by sodium channels.
Now there are more positive ions inside the cell membrane. It disturbs the resting potential i.e. -70mV. This stage is known as depolarization.
When the inside environment of the cell is more positively charged, the potassium ions start to move out of the cell. It goes out by the voltage-gated channels. Thus resting stage is maintained and it is known as repolarization.
But the initial stability of the cell membrane has to be maintained. To restore the resting stage, the sodium ions start to move out of the membrane and potassium ions enter into the cells again. This is an active transport and has done by the Na+ - K+ pump. Here 3 sodium ions move out and 2 potassium ions pumped into the cell through the plasma membrane.
Thus the resting potential regains. The potassium ions come back into the cells against the concentration gradient and ATP provides the energy for this phenomena.
Answer:
All organic molecules are made up of carbon compounds so we can say that the main atom or molecule is carbon.

Answer:
Substitution
Explanation:
Mutations can simply be defined as change in the structure of a gene. Mutation can be of different types. These include, but not limited to:
- Insertion: This involves the insertion of extra base pairs into a DNA
- Deletion: Loss of DNA section
- Substitution: When a nucleotide base gets substituted with another base.
<em>Substitution of a base can lead to coding of different amino acid and hence, protein. It can also lead to coding of the same amino acid, otherwise known as silent mutation. Base substitution can also lead to the amino-acid-coding codon becoming a stop codon, leading to an incomplete protein.</em>
The correct answer is substitution.
