Hi, the answer to this question would be an Molecular Clock. A molecular clock is a technique used by researchers that uses mutation rates in DNA to estimate the length of time that two species have been evolving independtly. Hope this helped :)

A postsynaptic potential is a graded potential that is the result of a neurotransmitter released into the synapse between two ne
Ksju [112]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

When the resting potential of the membrane is changed, the membrane becomes either more negative inside or less negative. This small deviation from the resting potential is called graded potential. A graded potential occurs when a stimulus triggers opening or closing of the mechanically gated  or ligand-gated channels present in the plasma membrane.

For example, the presynaptic neuron releases neurotransmitters in response to a nerve impulse. The neurotransmitter binds to receptors present in the plasma membrane of the postsynaptic neuron and triggers the opening of the ion channels to allow the inflow of particular ions to flow. The flow of ions changes the voltage across the membrane. This change in membrane voltage is a postsynaptic potential and is a type of graded potential.

Where are carbohydrates found in the body? And in cells?
slavikrds [6]

Hi,

Answer: The Liver

<u>My work:</u> Carbohydrates are usually located and converted in the Liver.

<u><em>Extra Information:</em></u> The body uses Carbohydrates as glucose. From there glucose can be converted to glycogen.

<u><em>Words you might not know:</em></u>

1) Converted - To change.

2) Glucose - Energy source.

3) Glycogen - Stores Carbohydrates

I Hope I Helped!

An organism has three different versions of Gene Tyx – version a, b and c. Determine the inheritance pattern of this trait. Then
Rina8888 [55]

Explanation:

As we know that different versions of the gene are called as the alleles. Allele is the various sequence of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) or alleles are known to be different forms of the genes, which can be seen at the same locus on the homologous chromosomes. Let us know assume that gene Tyx has two alleles in it, which represents the two forms of expression having same character. i.e. Tallness and Dwarfness TT(tall), Tt(tall), tt(dwarf). In the given question, the version

(a) TT, where alleles exist in the homozygous dominant conditions,

(b) Tt, where alleles exist in the heterozygous dominant condition

(c) tt, where alleles exist in homozygous recessive condition. Therefore, it might follow autosomal dominant inheritance, or autosomal recessive inheritance or incomplete dominance etc.

When the blood becomes acidic (acidosis) and bicarbonate ions have been depleted, new bicarbonate ions must be generated in the
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

c. Glutamine is metabolized by deamination, oxidation, and acidification.

Explanation:

Bicarbonate ions are an important part of bicarbonate buffer system which helps to maintain the pH of blood. Whenever blood starts to become acidic, bicarbonate ions increase to neutralize its effect. Their concentration can be increased by many mechanisms, for example tubular reabsorption.

However, glutamine catabolism does not replenish bicarbonate ions, in fact it does the exact opposite. Kidney generates ammonium ions by catabolism of glutamine which are excreted in the urine. This process also facilitates the excretion of bicarbonate ions.
