Answer: Mutation

Explanation: Mutation is a permanent change in the nucleotide sequence of a DNA. This change occurs during replication where one or more base pairs is either substituted, inserted or deleted in the nucleotide sequence of a DNA. These alterations in the DNA sequence produce permanent changes in the genetic information encoded in the DNA. Substitution mutation occurs when one or more base pairs are replaced by another. Insertion mutation occurs when one or more base pairs are added in a nucleotide sequence while deletion mutation occurs when one or more base pairs are removed from a DNA sequence. When these mutations are not adequately repaired by the DNA repair system, these will lead to production of an RNA with an altered nucleotide sequence and will result in the production of a protein with an altered amino acid sequence. The alteration in the amino acid sequence of the protein will result in loss of or altered function of the protein and will ultimately lead to the expression of a different trait in the organism.

Once a neuron is stimulated and the membrane potential is depolarized, the depolarized axonal membrane is helped to return to it
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The cell membrane separates the cell from the outer environment. The extracellular fluid contains the sodium ions (Na+), chloride ions (Cl-), while intracellular fluid contains potassium (K +) and negative anions.

The potential difference arises when the membrane is selectively permeable to some ions. The resting potential is -70mV.  

When the neurons get excited, the sodium ions start to enter by sodium channels.  

Now there are more positive ions inside the cell membrane. It disturbs the resting potential i.e. -70mV. This stage is known as depolarization.

When the inside environment of the cell is more positively charged, the potassium ions start to move out of the cell. It goes out by the voltage-gated channels. Thus resting stage is maintained and it is known as repolarization.

But the initial stability of the cell membrane has to be maintained. To restore the resting stage, the sodium ions start to move out of the membrane and potassium ions enter into the cells again. This is an active transport and has done by the Na+ - K+ pump. Here 3 sodium ions move out and 2  potassium ions pumped into the cell through the plasma membrane.  

Thus the resting potential regains. The potassium ions come back into the cells against the concentration gradient and ATP provides the energy for this phenomena.

What is plant blindness?
Komok [63]

Answer:

The answer is A.

Explanation:

Plant blindness refers to "the inability to see or notice the plants in one's own environment." The term plant blindness was coined twenty years ago by Elizabeth Schussler and James Wandersee who are botanists. Plant blindness results in "the inability to recognize the importance of plants in the biosphere and in human affairs." It is also the reason why people have a tendency of ranking “plants as inferior to animals”. Therefore, plants tend to receive limited care and upkeep. It is important to recognize plant blindness so that more intentional care can be given to preserving our plant species and ensure their survival and ability to thrive.
