Answer:

Meiosis

Explanation:

Living cells constantly undergo division. Meiosis is one of the types of cellular division that is employed by sexually-reproducing organisms to produce gametes. Meiotic division involves the production of daughter cells (gametes) with a reduced chromosomal number (by half).

Meiosis occurs in a two-step division process; meiosis I and II. In meiosis I, homologous chromosomes (similar but non-identical chromosomes received from each parent) are separated. This reduces the diploid number (Two complete set of chromosomes, 2n) of the cell to haploid (one set of chromosomes, n). In meiosis II, sister chromatids (replicated chromosome) get separated.

Luba_88 [7]

Answer: A: It becomes inactive.

Explanation: Pepsin works best at a pH of 2. And as the stomach has a very acidic condition, pepsin works well. But in the small intestine, the pH is about 8, which is too high for pepsin to function. Therefore, pepsin gets denatured in the small intestine.

A general mechanism by which postsynaptic potentials are terminated involves Group of answer choices increased synthesis of the
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is - reuptake of the neurotransmitter molecule into the axon through a membrane transporter.

Explanation:

The action of a neurotransmitter at the postsynaptic cell or postsynaptic potentials is terminated by any of these mechanisms that are enzymatic degradation, diffusion or reuptake into the presynaptic cell by specific transporters.

After the desired biological response by postsynaptic potentials, in order to avoid over stimulation or termination of the postsynaptic potentials the neurotransmitter is taken back into the axon through a membrane transporter. This mechanism is to maintain a balance.
