Answer:

Divergent boundaries are typified in the oceanic lithosphere by the rifts of the oceanic ridge system, including the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and the East Pacific Rise, and in the continental lithosphere by rift valleys such as the famous East African Great Rift Valley.

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

The typical state of a neuron is the resting potential, but when electrical signals stimulate it to its threshold, the action potential is immediately observed.

Explanation:

The capacity for rest shows what occurs when a neuron is at rest. A capacity for action takes place when a neuron passes information down an axon, far from the cell body. When depolarization exceeds approximately -55 mV a neuron can activate the capacity for action.

Sodium-potassium valves start moving two potassium ions within the cell as three sodium ions are poured out to keep the negatively charged membrane within the cell; this keeps the resting potential in place.

A mutation in _____ results in a change in _____ that sometimes produces a(n) _____ with altered structure and function.

xenn [34]

Answer:

A mutation in DNA results in a change in RNA that sometimes produces a protein with altered structure and function.

Explanation:

DNA is the hereditary material which causes gene expression in our body by producing protein. The type of protein which is produced by DNA totally depends upon the sequence of nucleotides in the DNA. But, DNA molecule does not produce protein directly. Initially it produces RNA (mRNA, tRNA, rRNA) by the process of transcription, the nucleotides in the RNA are complimentary to those in DNA. In short, the message regarding the structure and composition of the type protein to be produced by DNA is first decoded from DNA in the form of RNA. These RNA molecules then synthesize the protein as per the instructions from DNA by the process of translation.

But, in case a mutation occurs in the DNA which causes a change in it's nucleotide/nucleotides, the protein which will be produced will be different in the structure and function than the protein which was supposed to be synthesized. It happens because, a triplet of nucletiodes in the DNA and hence RNA specifies a particular type of amino acid and several amino acids are joined in a long chain to form polypeptide which ultimately forms protein. But, if any nucleotide in the triplet is changed due to mutation it may change the amino acid and if amino acid will change the protein will also get altered.
