Answer:
Immediately following the arrival of the stimulus at the axon terminal there is a short period called the latent period.
Explanation:
When a stimulus reaches the terminal of an axon, a period known as the latent period begins. This period has a short duration and during it it is possible to observe the blockage of new stimuli in the nerve fiber. Thus, the new stimuli fail to trigger an impulse and no muscle tension to be observed.
While the latent period is not finished, the neurotransmitter is released through the action of exocytosis that moves until it gets access to the receptor capable of activating the muscle cell.

Answer:
a. most genes encode one polypeptide and can be operationally defined by the complementation test
Explanation:
Genes are the stretch of DNA that code for specific polypeptides. In general, one gene codes for the only polypeptide.
Genes are defined by complementation tests which in turn tell if two mutations have occurred in the alleles of the same gene or different gene.
For the purpose, an organism with the homozygous genotype for one recessive mutation is crossed with an organism having the homozygous recessive genotype for another mutation.
If the two mutations are in the same gene, the progeny would show the mutant phenotype. On the other hand, if two mutations are in different genes, the progeny would exhibit normal phenotype.
