This will result to an excitatory postsynaptic potential ((EPSP)

Neurotransmitters are those chemical messages that transmits signals from nerve cells to their target cells.

Neurotransmitters are packed inside vesicles at the presynaptic nerve terminal.

The arrival of an action potential at this terminal leads to opening of Voltage gated channels.

This leads to a change in membrane voltage of the postsynaptic cell following the influx of positively charged ions (sodium ion) into the cell which is called the excitatory postsynaptic potential.

Therefore, excitatory postsynaptic potential ((EPSP) occurs when a neurotransmitter opens a chemically gated ion channel that allowing sodium to enter the postsynaptic cell.

What site is commonly used to feel a pulse? subclavian artery in the neck aorta in the chest internal jugular vein in the neck r
Nutka1998 [239]

The commonly used site to feel a pulse is radial artery on the wrist, the point where radial artery approaches the wrist present at the middle of wrist.

When we placed our fingers in the middle of wrist, we can feel the pulse wave. That is  72 beats per minutes. The radial artery is the site of insertion of the arterial line, for monitoring the blood pressure. It is selected because it is accessible due to the low incidence of the complications such as thrombosis.

The pressure of the blood is always high in the arteries comparative to the veins, usually arteries are present deep in the body, the radial artery in only artery that approaches the skin. Hence, it is used to monitoring the pulses.

Define independent assortment within the framework of meiosis. What impact does homologous recombination have on the principle o
Paul [167]

Answer:

The law of independent assortment states that the different genes get separated independently of each other and gets assorted into gametes to produce different combination of genes.

It was formulates by famous scientist G. Mendel based on his work on peas.

For example, in a traditional dihybrid cross of true breeding round and yellow seed plant with wrinkled and green seed plant, F2 generation show four different combinations of phenotype:

  • round and yellow
  • round and green
  • wrinkled and yellow
  • wrinkled and green

It shows that genes for round and yellow were independently inherited and genes for wrinkled and green were independently inherited. Else, new combinations could not be observed.

Homologous recombination is an event that takes place in prophase I during meiosis. The genetic material is exchanged between the non-sister chromtids of homologous chromosomes. It adds into the genetic variation within a population by producing more combination of genes in the gametes.

It does not violate the law of independent assortment as the genes were independently assorted. It only helps in producing more combinations of genes.

Which statement describes the light reaction of photosynthesis?
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:Water molecules are split apart.

Explanation: In the light dependent reactions of photosynthesis, sunlight provides the energy for splitting of water into its components: hydrogen and oxygen. This reaction is known as the photolysis of water. The oxygen is evolved as a byproduct. In this light dependent reactions, the light energy absorbed is used for the splitting of water molecules and it is also conserved as ATP and NADPH which are used to drive the carbon fixation reactions of photosynthesis.
