Answer: depolarization; hyperpolarization
Explanation:
At resting potential (absence of stimulus), the cell membrane of a neuron is said to be polarized with a net negative charge within due to more potassium (K+) ions present than sodium (Na+) ions.
However, an impressed stimuli reverses the ions content as K+ ions flows out and quickly replaced by Na+ ions, resulting in a decrease in membrane potential and a more positive cell membrane. Thus, depolarization occurs.
An increase in the membrane potential (so that it becomes more negative) is called hyperpolarization.
Answer: B. Genetically identical offspring
Explanation:
The answer is; cancer occurs due to unregulated cell division
This causes them to proliferate causing a mass of cells and affect neighboring tissues. The cells are usually undifferentiated and therefore do not function properly as tissue. This unregulated division is due to malfunction of the tumor suppressor gene that is significant in cell cycle regulation and apoptosis.
