Answer:
<em>The correct option is d) once the electrical impulse reaches a certain level of intensity (its threshold), it fires and moves all the way down the axon without losing any intensity.</em>
Explanation:
In the field of biology, the all-or-nothing law can be described as a principle which focuses on the strength with which a nerve or muscle fibre responds to a particular stimulus, this strength being independent of the strength of the stimulus. The functioning of the impulse is just like the trigger of a gun. The more the force of a stimulus, the more will be the intensity of the nerve impulse.
Plasmids, they are mostly found in bacterial cells and they r the cause of antibiotic resistance in bacteries :)
Answer:
Active transport:
- Diffusion (one to far left)
- Facilitated diffusion (the one with glucose)
- Osmosis (the one with water)
Passive transport:
- Protein pump (one to far right)
A) A textbook definition would be that genetic drift is: a random change in allele frequency caused by a series of chance occurences that cause an allele to become more or less common in a population. In layman's terms, this means that genetic drift happens when luck makes the genetic pool of the population to deviate from what is expected.
B) The cause for this genetic drift is the aformentioned couple. Because amish communities are small and they select partners from their community, having even a couple of carriers of alleles in a community can make the allele freuency much larger than expected; for example, if the community was 100 persons, the percentage would be in the order of 1%, still much larger than the general population. Thus, the cause here is that a small population had a couple of carriers.
C) Sexual reproduction leads to a mixing of alleles from both mother and father and helps diversity. When a population is isolated, the gene pool is fixed and no new genes can come in, reducing diversity. Also some people that have an allele might die, hitting diversity even more. Finally, having a small population creates a strong pressure in some circumstances that leads to elimination of some traits and diversity.
