If there is a logarithmic relationship between stimulus intensity and action potential frequency in sensory neurons, how much wi

ll the action potential rate increase if the stimulus intensity increases by 100?
Biology
1 answer:
frez [133]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The action potential rate will be doubled

Explanation:

The logarithm of a number for a given base is the power to which the base must be raised to give the number. Logarithm of a number can be in different bases. The base of common logarithm is the base 10.

For example, logarithm of 1000 to base 10 is 3 because 10 raised to power 3 equals 1000

Log₁₀1000 = 3 since 10³ = 1000

Therefore, if there is a logarithmic relationship between stimulus intensity and action potential frequency in sensory neurons and the stimulus intensity increases by 100, the action potential rate will increase thus:

Log₁₀100 = 2

Therefore, the action potential rate will be doubled

Every HIV particle contains two RNA molecules. If two genes from one RNA moleculebecome detached and then, as a unit, get attach
natita [175]

Answer:

One of the RNA molecules has experienced gene duplication as the result of translocation.

Explanation:

Translocation and duplication are some of the structural abnormalities in the chromosomes that may even cause certain genetic disorders. Duplication is the presence of a genetic segment for more than one time in the chromosome. The repeated genetic segments are mostly present in the tandem pattern. When a chromosome fragment breaks off and attaches to a non-homologous chromosome, it is called translocation. It leads to the deletion of a genetic segment in one chromosome and duplication in the other.

According to the given information, a genetic segment bearing two genes is detached from one RNA and gets attached to the other RNA molecule of the HIV genome. Therefore, the RNA molecule has undergone translocation and has lost a genetic segment while the other has gained a genetic segment (duplication) due to translocation.

A functional group that is acidic and part of the amino acid backbone: ____________
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

COOH (carboxyl group)

Explanation:

The amino acid backbone is common/ primary to all amino acids and the R-group is what makes each amino acid unique. The alpha-carbon is central and is connected to the amino group (NH3+), Carboxylic acid group (COOH), Hydrogen (H) which form the backbone and the R-group which differs in each amino acid.

The following pedigree tracks sickle cell disease through three generations of a family. Use the pedigree to answer the followin
kompoz [17]

Answer:

See the answer with the explanation below.

Explanation:

Assuming the allele for sickle cell disease is represented by S and the alternate, non-sickle cell version is A; AA would be <em>homozygous normal</em>, AS would be <em>heterozygous normal</em>, and SS would be a <em>sickler</em>.

a. <em>The genotype of the father in the first generation would be </em><em>AS</em>.

The father is heterozygous, since the mother is affected and the couple produced an affected child. The cross can be illustrated thus:

AS (father)   x   SS (mother) = AS, AS, SS, SS

b. <em>The genotype of the daughter in the second generation would be </em><em>SS</em><em> </em>since she is phenotypically affected for the disease.

c. <em>The genotype of individual 3 in the second generation would be heterozygous, </em><em>AS</em>.

The cross between the the heterozygous normal father and the sickler mother can only produce one of heterozygous normal individuals or sickle cell diseased individuals. Hence, individual 3 has to be heterozygous since he appeared phenotypically normal in the pedigree.
