An allele is a different form of a gene.

<span>Different forms of the same gene are called alleles. A genetic locus is the spot on the chromosome where alleles for a specific gene can be found. Diploid organisms, including humans, have two alleles at each genetic locus because they inherit one allele from each parent.</span>

to is when a stimulus successfully stimulates an action potential in its specific neuron. how your brain interprets the message
Xelga [282]

Information about the body and its surroundings is provided through the senses. Olfaction (smell), gustation (taste), equilibrium (balance and body posture), vision, and hearing are the five distinctive senses that only humans possess. We also have broad senses, sometimes known as somatosensation, that can react to stimuli including pressure, temperature, pain, and vibration. Somatosensation includes the sense of limb position used to monitor kinesthesia (limb movement), proprioception (the position of bones, joints, and muscles), and vestibular sensory, which is an organism's sense of spatial direction and balance. Although the sensory systems connected to these senses vary greatly, they all have the same purpose: to cause the nervous system to produce an electrical signal in response to a stimulus, such as light, sound, or body position.

<h3>What is Action potential ?</h3>

When a neuron transfers information away from the cell body and down an axon, it experiences an action potential. The action potential is also referred to as a "spike" or a "impulse" by neuroscientists. A depolarizing current causes an explosion of electrical activity known as the action potential.

Different ions crossing the neuron membrane result in action potentials. The sodium channels first open in response to a stimulus. Because the inside of the neuron is negative compared to the outside and there are much more sodium ions on the inside, sodium ions rush within the cell.

Depolarization, overshoot, and repolarization are the three phases of an action potential.

What is one difference between ion channels and ion pumps​
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

Ion pumps can be distinguished from ion channels on the basis that ion pumps actively transport ions against a concentration gradient, while ion channels allow ions to passively flow down a concentration gradient.

Which seismic waves are felt first at a seismic station
vlabodo [156]
Question-
Which seismic waves are felt first at a seismic station

Answer-
Seismic waves are the waves of energy caused by the sudden breaking of rock within the earth or an explosion. They are the energy that travels through the earth and is recorded on seismographs.


There are several different kinds of seismic waves, and they all move in different ways. The two main types of waves are body waves and surface waves. Body waves can travel through the earth's inner layers, but surface waves can only move along the surface of the planet like ripples on water. Earthquakes radiate seismic energy as both body and surface waves.

BODY WAVES
Traveling through the interior of the earth, body waves arrive before the surface waves emitted by an earthquake. These waves are of a higher frequency than surface waves.

P WAVES
The first kind of body wave is the P wave or primary wave. This is the fastest kind of seismic wave, and, consequently, the first to 'arrive' at a seismic station. The P wave can move through solid rock and fluids, like water or the liquid layers of the earth. It pushes and pulls the rock it moves through just like sound waves push and pull the air. Have you ever heard a big clap of thunder and heard the windows rattle at the same time? The windows rattle because the sound waves were pushing and pulling on the window glass much like P waves push and pull on rock. Sometimes animals can hear the P waves of an earthquake. Dogs, for instance, commonly begin barking hysterically just before an earthquake 'hits' (or more specifically, before the surface waves arrive). Usually people can only feel the bump and rattle of these waves.

P waves are also known as compressional waves, because of the pushing and pulling they do. Subjected to a P wave, particles move in the same direction that the the wave is moving in, which is the direction that the energy is traveling in, and is sometimes called the 'direction of wave propagation'.

How does an enzyme’s active site relate to its substrate?
natita [175]
The active site is complementary to its substrate due to its specific 3D structure. The substrate fits in to one specific active site so an enzyme will only bind to one substrate. They are SPECIFIC. Lock and key theory.
