Answer:

The <u>shape in V</u> of the vomerine teeth is useful to <u>hook the prey and hold i</u>t until the frog can swallow it.  

Explanation:  

In frogs, we can distinguish maxillary teeth, premaxillary teeth, and Vomerine teeth.

Vomerine teeth are projections of the vomer bone, located in the anterior part of the paladar and between the internal nares.

Vomerine teeth are specialized structures that help frogs catch and hold their prey. They are not involved in chewing or killing (frogs swallow the entire prey alive), just holding the creature before swallowing it.

These projections are covered by soft tissue. When the frog catches the prey, presses the tongue against the roof of your mouth. The vomerine teeth hook the prey and prevent it from slipping or wandering away.

The<u> shape in V</u> of the vomerine teeth is useful <u>to hook the prey and hold it </u>until the frog can swallow it.

What type of ion channels in the membrane of neurons open or close in response to a neurotransmitter binding to its receptor
bagirrra123 [75]

An ion channel in the membrane of neurons which <u>open or close</u> in response to a neurotransmitter that binds to its receptor is called:  ligand-gated channel.

<h3>What is an action potential?</h3>

An action potential can be defined as a sudden, fast change in electrical (voltage) potential with respect to the transmission of an impulse to a receptor, across a cellular membrane such as:

  • A nerve cell
  • A muscle cell

<h3>What is a neuron?</h3>

A neuron is a nerve cell that is saddled with the responsibility of transmitting electrical impulses down an axon across a cellular membrane of the body of a living organism through an action potential.

In Science, a ligand-gated channel is a type of ion channel in the membrane of neurons which <u>open or close</u> in response to a neurotransmitter that binds to its receptor.

How can mutations be helpful? Give 2 examples
RSB [31]
Having two copies of the mutated genes cause sickle cell anemia, but having just one copy does not, and can actually protect against malaria - an example of how mutations are sometimes beneficial. 

The majority of mutations have neither negative nor positive effects on the organism in which they occur. These mutations are called neutral mutations. Examples include silent point mutations. They are neutral because they do not change the amino acids in the proteins they encode.

Hope this helped :)
