The Botulinum toxin is a neurotoxins produced by the<em> Clostridium botulinum</em>. This toxin bind to the neuron presynaptically and by the exocytosis it enters in the neuron. It has a greater affinity to Cholinergic receptors as compared to the acetylcholine. Hence, the toxin causes the decrease in the release of the acetylcholine molecules.

As a result of the decreased in the release of the acetylcholine the neuro-transmission is blocked, and due to this the person dies.

Hence, the given statement is true.

<span>Botulinum toxin does not bind to receptors presemt at the axon terminal in order to enter the neuron. It is a neurotoxin protein produced by Clostridium botulinum which is a bacterium. It prevents the release of neurotransmitter from axon endings that results to flaccid paralysis.</span>

Mutation is defined as the alteration in the genetic makeup of a living organism which may occur due to the following:

  • When there is spontaneous break down of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).
  • Change in a single nucleotide of the DNA.
  • when there is additions or deletions of nucleotide in a DNA strand.

A change can be noticed in an animal such as Chimpanzee when the following occurs:

Mutations in chimpanzee DNA: This can alter both that anatomy and the physiological features of the organism involved.

Crossbreeding between gorillas and chimpanzees: When there is cross breeding between a chimpanzee and a gorilla, it will lead to a genetic diversity which can be observed as a change in the hands of the chimpanzee.
