Answer: The correct answer for the blank is- d. inhibitory neurotransmitter.

Neurotransmitters are the chemical messengers in the body, which are released by the axon terminal of neuron ( also called nerve cell) and transmit nerve impulse to the neighboring cell ( which could be a muscle cell or a nerve cell) .

There are primarily two types of neurotransmitters that are-

1) Excitatory neurotransmitter and 2) Inhibitory neurotransmitter.

Inhibitory neurotransmitter have inhibitory effects on the neuron that is they reduce the chances that a neuron will fire an action potential. In other words, they are responsible for slowing signals between neurons.

Example- The most common inhibitory neurotransmitter is GABA ( gamma amino butyric acid)

gove one example of how advances in science and technology have allowed the human population to increase rapidly
natima [27]
One example: The improvement in science and technology over the years has decreased the infant mortality rate. Since more babies live, we have a higher population. 

Also, with increases in science and technology, there are many diseases that were once considered fatal that are now easily treated. This has also led to a higher population.

Which best describes a difference between transcription and DNA replication??
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

<em><u>The right answer is "D".Transcription uses uracil.</u></em>

Explanation:

The genes carried by the DNA will be encoded in another form: messenger RNA, during a process called "transcription".

The DNA and RNA molecules are chemically very close, but the second has an extra oxygen (in red on the right of the letters) on the sugars (riboses) that make up its nucleotides (the DNA actually contains deoxyribose). In addition, the thymine (T) of DNA is replaced by uracil (U) in RNA.

Hope this help

Have a nice day!!

In the first part of the dna isolation, you discarded the supernatant and kept the cells. however, after processing the sample w
pishuonlain [190]
<span>For the first step, you must isolate the cells from the media. The cells contain the DNA so you keep the cells and pellet. The next step would be a cell lysis which causes the cells to open and the DNA to come out. At this point you would keep the supernatant, as the pellet is the cell membrane and other parts of the cell. The chelex is to bind to transition metal ions. This would cause and DNases in the cell to become inactive because the metal ion is their cofactor. The pellet in this case would contain the chelex and the DNA would still be in the supernatant.</span>

Strawberry DNA Extraction lab What was the purpose of the Sodium Chloride? Include a discussion of polarity and charged particle
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

Sodium chloride removes proteins from DNA and helps in DNA precipitation.

Explanation:

The Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is negatively charged due to the highly polar phosphate groups that make up the phosphate backbone. The molecules of water are also highly polar and they have positive charge, thereby water molecules interact with the negative charges of the DNA. The sodium chloride generates temporary attraction forces between sodium (positive) ions and the DNA backbone (negative), thereby DNA can be disassociated from the aqueous layer. Moreover, sodium chloride helps to remove proteins (histones) that bound to DNA and also helps to maintain proteins in the aqueous layer.
