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.
Answer:
The correct answer would be phenotypic variation.
Phenotype refers to observable traits or characteristics of an individual. For example, height, color, shape, et cetera.
Phenotypic variation refers to the sum total of variations in characteristics within populations of the same species.
In contrast, genotypic variation refers to the sum total of variations (such as allele frequency) present in the genome of populations of the same species.

Answer:
a. The formula for finding the number of colonies in a given volume is,
CFU/ml, here CFU is the colony forming units or the number of colonies formed in a volume plated in ml × dilution
The dilution factor given in the question is 1 × 10⁻⁴ and the number of colonies given is 186. Therefore, the number of bacteria present in the given 1 ml of the milk is,
CFU/ ml = 186 / 1 × 10⁻⁴ = 186 × 10⁴.
Hence, the concentration of bacteria in the milk is 186 × 10⁴ CFU/ml.
b) The limit of the bacterial concentration in the pasteurized milk is 20000 CFU/ml, however, it can be seen that the sample of the milk possess more concentration of bacteria than the desired value. Therefore, the milk is not safe to drink by Public Health Standards.
Embryophyta is a clade within the Phragmoplastophyta, a larger clade that also includes several green algae groups. Embryophytes are the plants growing on land which include hornworts, liverworts, gymnosperms, flowering plants etc while green algae mostly thrive in aquatic environment.
The conduction of water requires vascular tissue called xylem. In green algae, it is not necessary to have water conducting tissue as the entire body is in contact with water. However in embryophytes, having a vascular tissue is an adaptation that ensures to provide water to the higher parts of the plant which is not directly in contact with the soil.
