Release of a neurotransmitter across the synapse is triggered by the entry of Ca++ into the presynaptic axon. No Ca++ entry means no transmission across the synapse.

Answer:

If the calcium ion channels in the axon terminal were blocked, then no synaptic transmission occurs.

Explanation:

The synapse has 2 parts one is post synaptic cleft and other is pre synaptic cleft. The pre synaptic cleft contains synaptic vesicles which  have neurotransmitters. These neurotransmitters are in the inactive form.

When the calcium ion is coming and bind with the vesicle, the neurotransmitter gets activated. Then the vesicle binds with another protein and releases the neurotransmitter to the post synaptic vesicle. Thus information goes from pre synaptic cleft to post synaptic cleft and synaptic transmission occurs.

If the calcium ion channel is blocked, no calcium ions come into the axon terminal, the neurotransmitter can't active and no synaptic transmission happens.

True or false: In a gel electrophoresis gel, a DNA fragment containing 100 bp (base pairs) would travel faster (and further) tha
vova2212 [387]

Answer: true

Explanation: In gel electrophoresis, the smaller the size/molecular weight of DNA the faster it moves across the gel and vise versa. This is as a result of the pore size of the gel which is usually prepared 1g of agarose in 100ml of distilled water. So a DNA fragment with 1000 base pairs will "struggle" its movement across the gel pore making it mive less faster and further. Movement and molecular weight of DNA are inversely proportional.
