1. Action potential reaches the axon terminal and depolarizes it.
2. Depolarization opens voltage-gated calcium channels, enabling influx of Ca into the neuron.
3. Calcium binds to specialized proteins on vesicles (containing pre-made acetylcholine) and triggers them to fuse with the neuron membrane at the synapse.
4. Exocytosis of acetylcholine into the synaptic cleft occurs.
5. Acetylcholine diffuses across the synapse and binds to nicotinic receptors on the end plate of the myocyte.
6. Activated nicotinic receptors, themselves ion channels, cause cation influx into the myocyte and generate an end plate potential. This eventually gives rise to the full depolarization within the myocyte that enables contraction.
It would have trouble performing the action of storing water.
I) Alleles is the alternative form of a gene or in other terms the variant form of a gene. If there are two alleles at a locus p and q are used to represent their frequencies. Frequencies of all alleles in a population will add up to 1.
Therefore, in this case if red allele CW is p=0.7, then the frequency of the white allele in this population (q) is 0.3.
ii) From the punnet square the expected genotypes frequencies in the offspring generation will be 0.49 CRCR (red flowers, o.42 CRCW (pink flowers) and 0.09 CWCW (white flowers).
I guess the point about increasing level of oxygen is most correct......
