<span>Out of the following given
choices;</span>
A. The Geiger counter
being used to detect radiation is broken.
B. Two or more samples
we accidentally swapped, causing confusion.
C. A virus contaminated
the reaction in which the probe was made.
D. The human genome
might contain at least one viral gene.
The answer is D. This means that the viral DNA inserted itself
in the human tissue DNA aand became a prophage. A prophage is a latent form of
viral infection where the inserted viral DNA has no interference with the host
cell biochemical processes. The prophage will be present in the daughter cells
of the host cells.
If the lower case letter indicates the recessive gene, then there is 0% chance of someone with genotype ee to have a dominant, detached earlobe, appearance
heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee sorry person
I believe the correct order is:
D - A nerve signal arrives at an axon terminal;
B - Voltage gated calcium channels open and calcium enters the cell;
C - ACh is released and diffuses across the axon terminal;
E - Ligand gated sodium channels open and sodium enters the cell.
A - A postsynaptic potential is produced;
Explanation:
The dendrites of the presynaptic neurons receive a signal. The signal stimulates the nucleus of the presynaptic neuron to produce an electrical signal that is managed by the axon hillock. the axon hillock again manages and transmits the nerve impulse into the axon towards the axon terminal. The signal is transmitted via saltatory conduction on myelinated axons for faster communication. When the nerve impulse reaches the axon terminal, it causes opening of voltage gated calcium ion channels. This will cause an influx of calcium ions into the presynaptic axon terminal. The influx of calcium ions then stimulates the synaptic vessicles in the presynaptic membrane that contain the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh) to move towards the presynaptic membrane. They then fuse with the membrane and open up releasing all their acetylcholine into the synaptic cleft (space between presynaptic membrane and post synaptic membrane). The ACh will bind to ligand ion channels on post synaptic membrane causing opening of sodium channels and there is an influx of sodium inside the post synaptic membrane producing a membrane potential. The voltage gated calcium ion channels in the presynaptic membrane will then close and no more ACh is released. The cells then return to rest. The acetylcholine in the postsynaptic neuron is either broken down by the enzyme acetylcholinesterase into metabolites that are used by the cell or they are removed as waste into the surrounding glial cells called astrocytes that nourish neurons. They (ACh) also can be stored for future use by the post synaptic neuron.
