a. Inhibitory transmitters normally depolarize the synaptic membrane.
b. The normal response of the postsynaptic membrane to any transmitter is depolarization.

Answer:

The inhibitory transmitter activates ligand-gated potassium channels

Explanation:

When a cell is in hyperpolarized state,the potassium gated channels are taken longer time to close up, Therefore, more K+ leaks out of the axoplasm  to the exterior.Therefore the cell appears to continue in the resting state, with more negative value of the cell potential of (-120 mV) and this called hyperpolarization.

However, with the addition of  inhibitory transmitter,the ligand-gated potassium channels are activated,Theses channels closes up.Then sodium  gated channels, which  were initially in refractive state reopens, sodium ions diffuses inwards for depolarization, and the neuron returns to depolarized state.

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

d.Different sets of genes.

Explanation:

A cell normally only expresses a percentage of its genes and various cell types are created by the expression of distinct gene sets. In addition, in response to changes in their environment, cells can alter the pattern of genes they express, such as signaling from neighboring cells.

In a certain species of plant, flowers occur in three colors: blue, pink, and white. A pure-breeding pink plant is mated with a
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer: If the F2 occurs in the ratio 9 blue:3 pink:4 white, one gene pair (i.e 2 genes) control the flower color phenotype.

Explanation: This principle is called INCOMPLETE DOMINANCE where one gene (dominant) won't completely override the other (recessive).

Let assume B represents the dominant gene and b represents the reccesive gene. Let also assume that Blue color is dominant over white color. We can assign the genotype as follows;

Homozygous dominant genes BB will produce Blue color

Homozygous recessive genes bb will produce white color

Heterozygous genes Bb will produce pink color.

Therefore, a pair of gene ( 2 genes) will determine the flower color phenotype.
