Answer: B) nicotinic Acetylcholine (ACh) receptor

C) muscarinic ACh receptor

Explanation: Ligand-gated ion channels are receptor channels that produce or respond to signals through the binding of some extracellular intracellular small molecule that causes the opening or closing of the channel. In Ligand-gated ion channels, the binding of the mushroom alkaloid muscarine (in the case of a muscarinic acetylcholine receptor) or the binding of nicotine ( in the case of nicotinic Ach receptors) to its receptor on the plasma membrane causes a conformational change in the receptor, causing the ion channel intrinsic to the receptor to open. The opening of the channel results in inward movement of positive charges such as sodium, calcium and potassium ions into the cell.

The correct answer is the extensor digitorum longus and fibularis tertius.
The pretibial muscles include the anterior tibialis, extensor digitorum longus, extensor hallucis longus, and peroneus tertius. As a group they are active during the swing phase and the heel-strike to foot-flat phase of gait. Fibularis is often considered as part of the extensor digitorum longus muscle.

Softa [21]

Many poisonous and toxic animals are brightly coloured, and other animals and predators are instinctively wary of brightly coloured animals. This is called warning colouration or aposematism. Described more scientifically, these colouration adaptations are to deter predators by using a warning signal, which indicates that consuming the prey item would be unprofitable. Nudibranchs back up this warning by secreting poisons that would be toxic or foul-tasting to predators. Nudibranchs have developed this strategy probably because it has a lower energy cost compared to developing a protective shell.

Which of the following examples can cause gene flow between populations?

yanalaym [24]

The answer is bird droppings that contain seeds from a different location.

Gene flow includes a transfer of alleles from one population to another. So imagine a population of plant A on location 1 and another population of plant A on location 2. They cannot interchange their genes. But if birds drop seeds from location 1 and those seeds get to location 2, gene flow may occur.
