The propositions are:
a.alkylating agents
b.antimetabolites
c.topisomerase inhibitors
d.nucleoside analogs
e.<span>AZT

The right answer is A, 
An alkylating agent is a compound capable of adding alkyl groups to various electronegative groups under conditions present within the cells.

Antimetabolites are an anticancer drug but act differently than the alkylating agent. (interfere with folic acid)
Topoisomerase inhibitor acts by inhibiting isomerase, used in antibiotherapy (like quinolones).
Nucleoside analogs are analogs as their name says, it does not alkylate nucleotides.
AZT (</span><span>Zidovudine) is an antiretroviral drug that inhibits reverse transcriptase.</span>

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

The unequal distribution of ions inside and outside of the cell makes the membrane potential of the cell. The potential is important for the conduction of the impulse and generation of the action potential.

The resting membrane potential of the nerve impulse is maintained by the presence of large potassium ions inside the cell. The resting membrane potential is -70mV. The depolarization of the membrane occurs due to influx of the sodium ions.

Thus, the answer is true.
