Answer:
C. Excessive potassium has diffused out causing hyperpolarization.
Explanation:
The nerve action potential can be divided into following stages:
- Stimulus is detected by the cell in resting stage.
- Sodium channels in the membrane open from where influx of sodium ions occur which is called depolarization
- After a while, sodium channels close and potassium channels open from where efflux of potassium ions occur which is called repolarization.
- The membrane potential further lowers due to continous efflux of potassium ions which is called hyperpolarization.
- After a while potassium channels close and membrane returns to its resting stage.
In the given figure, stage 4 depicts hyperpolarization because the membrane potential has dropped to the lowest point below -70mV. Hence, option C is correct.
Answer:
In order to propose a hypothesis, there is a need to first see the function of gills in fishes. The gills of fishes comprise blood vessels that exhibit inherited tendencies of getting oxygen out of the water, which was consumed by fishes from their mouths. These gills also comprise thin walls, and when water moves over these walls of blood vessels, the oxygen from water moves into the blood, and then this oxygen-enriched blood goes to various organs.
Thus, one of the hypotheses in the given case, can be the number of blood vessels, which are found in the gills of the mentioned freshwater fish to be higher in comparison to the blood vessels found in the normal fishes, and apart from this, the surface area of the thin walls, which are found in the gills is also more in the new species of freshwater fish.
The have similar problems because since the cell has grown too large, it takes away nutrients that other cells need to survive. This is similar to too many users on a wireless network because with too many users, their is not enough network to supply each device on the wireless network.
Genetic drift is the dramatic almost sped up process of natural selection due to the untouched habitat the species I lives in. Genetic drift is characterized by the changing in alleles, whether more or less, natural selection could care less as long as they're creating diverse populations.
