<span>The sex cells, more scientifically known as the ova and spermatozoa, are composed of 23 of the usually 46 human chromosomes. They have half the usual number because they of course combine to form a new, genetically distinct, cell, termed the zygote. The correct term for this type of cell, one with half of the complete genome, is GAMETE. Therefore the answer is option (a).</span>

I believe that is correct. You're smart. :) stay safe!
Answer:
Ion channels are specialized proteins in the plasma membrane that provide a passageway through which charged ions can cross the plasma membrane down their electrochemical gradient.
Explanation:
Ion channels are molecular machines that serve as principal integrating and regulatory devices for controlling cellular excitability. Different types of ion channels have been described: channels that respond to mechanical, electrical (voltage-dependent ion channels), or chemical stimuli (ligand-gated ion channels); ion channels that are controlled by phosphorylation/dephosphorylation mechanisms; and ion channels that are dependent on G proteins. Most ion channels are of the voltage-dependent type and consist mainly of sodium (Na+), potassium (K+), and calcium (Ca2+) channels. Drugs can affect ion channel function directly by binding to the channel protein and altering its function or indirectly through G proteins and other intermediates. Lidocaine is a good example of a drug that directly affects voltage-gated Na+ channels by blocking the channel and thus Na+ entry into the cell.
Thanks! Have a great day!
Answer:
Seven days after a spring tide, the sun and moon are at right angles to each other. This produces moderate tides known as neap tides, meaning that high tides are a little lower and low tides are a little higher than average. Neap tides occur during the first and third quarter moon, when the moon appears "half full.
It lasted almost 5 years. 39 months on land (3 years and 3 months), and 18 at sea (1 year and 6 months)
