Answer:

<h2>potassium</h2>

Explanation:

The heartbeats of the heart are controlled by the sinoatrial node also known as the pacemaker of the heart. The impulse is generated in the conducting cells of the pacemaker as a result of the movement of sodium, potassium and calcium ions.

The sodium channels allow the movement of sodium into the cell which depolarizes the membrane from -60mv to -40 mv. At this point, the calcium gated channels open which allow the entry of the calcium in the cell which depolarizes the cell up to +5mv.

At this point, the potassium channels open which allows the potassium ions to move out of the cell. This repolarizes the cell and hence the cycle again begins.  Reducing the permeability of the potassium ions help generate the autorhythmicity due to repolarization and thus is the correct answer.

Explain how the process of meiosis relates to the way in which a child
prisoha [69]
Meiosis is a process where a single cell divides twice to produce four cells containing half the original amount of genetic information. That means that they will never be a copy of their parents because of their different genetic material. Characteristics, such as eye color, hair type and color, the shapes of facial features, and height and build, and attribute the combinations of these to the portions of DNA inherited from each parent which makes them different but still carry the DNA of their parents.
