Diffusion continues until the concentration on both sides of the membrane is

I don't completely understand the question, but I am guessing that you are trying to finish the sentence. If so, the answer is "Diffusion continues until the concentration on both sides of the membrane is equal". The reason it's equal is because diffusion always travels high to low, to reach a point of equilibrium. The particles are trying to move so that water is the same inside and outside of the cell/membrane, and the solute is also equal on the inside and outside of the cell/membrane. If that doesn't make sense, just comment any questions you have and I will try my best to answer :)

Diffusion is the process in which movement of molecules , ions, and atoms take place from region of higher concnetration to low concentration. This diffusion will continues till both side of membrane is equal, because it is the movement of molecule from high to low concentration, so once its became equal concnetration diffusion will not take place.

Describe and explain the changes in electrical activity both in receptor and in the sensory neurone as increasing pressure is ap

blsea [12.9K]

Pacinian corpuscles are rapidly adapting mechanoreceptors so they respond only at the onset and offset of the stimulus. The Pacinian corpuscle has a single afferent nerve fiber. Its end is covered by a sensitive receptor membrane whose sodium channels will open when the membrane is deformed in any way. Pressure thus causes sodium to enter the neuron and create a generator potential. If this potential reaches a certain threshold nerve impulses are formed. This impulse is now transferred along the axon with the use of sodium channels and sodium/potassium pumps in the axon membrane. The magnitude of the stimulus is encoded in the frequency of impulses generated in the neuron. So the more massive or rapid the deformation of a single corpuscle, the higher the frequency of nerve impulses generated in its neuron.

What function does recombination by crossing-over have in genetic variation?

Katena32 [7]

Answer: Crossing-over allows the genes that come from each parent to recombine before they are passed on to future generations because chromatids of homologous chromosomes mate and exchange sections of their DNA.

Explanation:

Chromosome crossing-over is the process by which chromatids of homologous chromosomes mate and exchange sections of their DNA during prophase I of meiosis, when pairs of homologous chromosomes, or of the same type, are aligned. The chromatids of the homologous chromosomes break off in the chiasmas and rejoin to allow recombination of the linked genes. So it occurs when regions at chromosome breaks mate and then reconnect to the other chromosome. The result of this process is an exchange of genes, called genetic recombination.

This allows the genes that come from each parent to recombine before they are passed on to future generations. Then, it is an important source of genetic variability, since it involves an exchange of segments between homologous chromosomes during the development of gametes. This process allows that the descendants of an individual are genetically very different, since it is very unlikely that an individual produces two equal gametes, because all of them have different segments of the homologous chromosomes.
