What is the first step in triggering a change in membrane potential?
Sophie [7]

Answer:

The membrane potential is maintained in the cell due to the unequal distribution of the ions inside and outside of the cell. This membrane potential is important for the conduction of the nerve impulse.

The arrival of the stimulus triggers the action potential. The resting membrane potential is -70mV. This is maintained by the presence of potassium ions. The influx of the sodium ions result in the change in the membrane potential from -70mV to +30mV.

A population in which the frequency of alleles remains the same over generations is said to be in genetic equilibrium. Describe
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

Natural selection disrupts the genetic equilibrium by favoring the genes for the traits that impart survival advantage to individuals.

Explanation:

Natural selection refers to the unequal survival rate of individuals of a population due to the presence of some beneficial adaptive genetic trait. These individuals are able to survive more and leave more progeny. Over generations, the population has increased number of these individuals leading to evolution of a population with different allele frequencies.  

For example, the frequency of gene for antibiotic resistance in the bacterial population was increased once humans started using antibiotics to control the bacterial population. This led to the evolution of the bacterial population with antibiotic resistance.
