Answer: depolarization; hyperpolarization
Explanation:
At resting potential (absence of stimulus), the cell membrane of a neuron is said to be polarized with a net negative charge within due to more potassium (K+) ions present than sodium (Na+) ions.
However, an impressed stimuli reverses the ions content as K+ ions flows out and quickly replaced by Na+ ions, resulting in a decrease in membrane potential and a more positive cell membrane. Thus, depolarization occurs.
An increase in the membrane potential (so that it becomes more negative) is called hyperpolarization.
<span>The correct answer is number one. A chromosome is composed of many genes. A chromosome is referred to as a DNA molecule in an organism's body, which consists of genetic materials. Chromosomes consists of numerous genes within them, in their nucleus and mitochondria, genes are found inside the Chromosomes itself.</span>
Answer:
Enzyme
Explanation:
Enzymes are the bio-catalyst that serve to accelerate the metabolic reactions occurring in a living cell. All the metabolic reactions of organisms are catalyzed by enzymes. Each metabolic reaction is catalyzed by specific enzyme. Absence of that particular enzyme leads to absence of the respective product. Since genes code for protein which regulate the specific trait, absence of enzyme does not allow the expression of that trait.
Example: Absence of enzymes for chlorophyll synthesis would lead to absence of chlorophyll from leaves of the green plants.
EARTH'S PROTECTIVE SHIELD. Earth is surrounded by invisible gases that form a thin protective blanket that we call the atmosphere. It contains the oxygen that we breath as well as other important gases such as nitrogen, carbon dioxide, water vapor, and ozone.
Answer:
DNA replication
Explanation:
DNA is the genetic material and serves to store genetic information. The genetic information is transmitted from a parent cell to the daughter cells or from the parent to the progeny by the process of DNA replication.
DNA replication is the process that occurs in the nucleus in eukaryotes and includes the synthesis of new DNA strands using the existing DNA strands as a template. The newly formed DNA molecules are then distributed among the daughter cells during cell division. Thereby, the process of DNA replication ensures that the DNA of the parent generation is carried to the next generation.
For instance, sperms and egg cells in humans carry the DNA of male and female parents respectively to the young one. DNA replication occurs in sperm mother cells and egg mother cells during the formation of sperms and egg cells respectively.
