grigory [225]2 years ago

Answer:

Sodium ions move into the postsynaptic neuron causing depolarization of the

postsynaptic neuron

Explanation:

That's the mechanism of action potential generation. Neurotransmitter receptors are connected to sodium channels. When those sodium channels open the cell becomes depolarized(the charges reverse), that means the inside of the cell becomes more positive while the outside becomes negative

What is the genotype of a heterozygous person with a cleft chin?
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

Cc

Explanation:

A cleft chin is an example of a trait that is controlled by genetics. A cleft chin is when there is a dimple in the chin which arises when the two sides of the jaw don’t completely fuse together. Famous people with cleft chins are Henry Cavill, John Travolta and Niall Horan.

A cleft chin is generally thought to be a dominant trait. That means, if an individual carries one copy of the cleft chin gene (heterozygous), then they will display the trait.

There are three options: an individual can be homozygous dominant (CC), homozygous recessive (cc) or heterozygous (Cc). A heterozygous person will always have 2 different alleles (for any trait, not just cleft chin). In this case, a heterozygous person will have a cleft chin, because it is dominant. Therefore, an heterozygous person with a cleft chin will be Cc

Remember, the letter doesn't matter - they could also be denoted as Bb, Qq, Rr, Ff. The letter is arbitrary.
