The islands shown on the map were acquired by the United States to function as trading ports and naval bases, and to increase American influence in the Pacific region.

For example, Hawaii was annexed in 1898 by the United States to strengthen the American strategic presence in the Pacific Ocean. The same happened with Guam and the Philippines, obtained after the victory in the war with Spain.

All these islands were acquired with the intention of strengthening the American presence in the Pacific, through the creation of military bases.

The answer is likely A, as we did not begin to enter hostile relations with Russia until the 1900's, and we would have liked increased control in the Pacific

Answer:

Explanation:

Action potential

It is the potential or power or electrical energy required to generate impulses and provides communication between the neurons is called action potential. Normally cell membrane consists of potential is called resting membrane potential() -70mV. The action potential is due to exchange of different ions across the membrane.

Phases of the action potential in a neuron are

i. Depolarization- it is caused by the influx of sodium and calcium ions through the opening of voltage-gated sodium and calcium channels. sodium ion influx is rapid than the calcium ions membrane potential -70mV to +30mV.

ii. Repolarization - It causes the efflux of potassium ions into the cell through the opening of potassium channels. the membrane returning to resting membrane potential.

iii. After- Hyper polarization - in this stage the potassium channels remain open and causes re polarization and comes to normal membrane potential.

The generation of impulses(depolarization) in neuron mainly depends on influx sodium and calcium ions without these ions, no action potential developed and neuron firing does not occur.

If the drugs inhibit these channels, no depolarization, no action potential, no neuronal firing or communication.

The channels involved in an action potential are voltage-gated sodium channels, potassium channels, and calcium channels.

The action potential is required for transmission of information one are to another area in the body.

The responses to different stimuli is due to action potential.

Geneticist Geri notices that a woman exhibits Trait L. With certainty, she asks the woman, "Which of your parents also exhibits
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer: A. Trait L is governed by a dominant allele.

Options:

A. Trait L is governed by a dominant allele.

B)  Trait L is governed by a recessive allele.

C)  Trait L involves polygenic inheritance.

D)  None of these would help to clear up the confusion.

Explanation: A dominant allele gives humans a dominant trait that is passed on from their parents. This physical trait, or characteristic will always be present whether it is combined with the same characteristic or a different one in their genotype. For example, dark hair is dominant over blonde hair. This makes blonde hair a recessive trait, so when an allele controlling dark hair is present, the person will have dark hair regardless of whether one of their parents has passed on the recessive allele that gives blonde hair.

In the question above, explaining to the woman that trait L is governed by a dominant allele will help her understand that it must have been passed on to her from one of her parents.
