When a neuron isn't being
pashok25 [27]

Correct option is A)

There are electrical and concentration gradients in neurons that induce the sodium ions to enter the cell. The resting potential is maintained because the channels for sodium ions are closed. The membrane remains impermeable to sodium ions in the rest state. The membrane is more permeable to potassium passage. The potassium ions leak through the membrane at a greater rate than sodium enters. There is loss of positively charged ions from the inner part of the cell membrane. The inner part of the membrane carries a relatively more negative charge than the outer part of the cell membrane.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.

Why are vestigial structures considered critical evidence of evolution?
Norma-Jean [14]
Vestigial structures are considered evidence since scientists believe they are structures that were once used by a species ancestors but are no longer needed. They do not impair the organisms in any way, so there is no need for evolution to get rid of them. Vestigial structures are anatomical features that no longer seems to have a function or purpose in the current form of an organism of the given species. Examples are wisdom teeth, the muscles of the ear, the appendix, the tail bone among others in human.
