In the deformed mice, somatic cells but not germ cells were mutated. The original mouse's germ cells were mutated.
The correct answer is: prevent reception of a signal in a receiving neuron
Neurotransmitters are signal molecules or chemical messengers which transmit signals across a chemical synapse. Neurotransmitters send the signal, from one neuron (nerve cell) to another neuron, from neuron to muscle cell (motor plate), or from neuron to gland cell.
Drugs that bind to neurotransmitter’s receptor can have two effects on its action:
• Antagonists-they bind to receptor and thus prevent a neurotransmitter from binding to it
• Agonists-they bind to receptor and mimic the normal neurotransmitter (have the same effect as neurotransmitter).
Hypothesis: If Plant Food X is used on a tomato plant, then production rate will increase.
experiment: Gather 2 tomato plants of the same height and age. Make two groups, a control group (a tomato plant without use of fertilizer) and an experimental group (a tomato plant with using Plant Food X).
For one week, give each plant the same amount of water, humidity, sunlight, and air temperature. after a week measure the height and number of tomatoes produced. gather the info in a table and compare to hypothesis after one week.
