How do sodium and potassium leak channels play a role in the development of the negative membrane potential of the axolemma (pla

sma membrane of the axon)?

The plasma membrane of axon is called axolemma. The potassium and sodium leak channels leak the sodium and potassium ions inside the cell respectively. The leak channels provide the constant movement of ions across the membrane. Potassium and sodium ions are positively charged, thus entry of positively charged ions inside the cell makes the cell more positively charged than the environment outside the cell. The environment outside the cell becomes more negatively charged. This leads in the negative membrane potential of axolemma.

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

The correct answer would be Both types of fingerprints can often be easy to obtain from the crime scene.

DNA fingerprinting is a technique used for a paternity test and in establishing a link between the biological evidence and suspect in the crime, identification of dead bodies et cetera.

It is based on the similarities and differences associated with the DNA sequence of organisms especially the non-coding or junk DNA.

The DNA fingerprints are developed in labs, they are not found at crime scenes.

At the crime scene, pieces of biological evidence such as blood, skin, hair et cetera are taken from which DNA could be extracted.

Fofino [41]
The Arctic Fox lives in the Arctic Tundra (more or less around Alaska, Iceland I think, and other places like that). During the winter, their fur is very thick and solid white (not always SOLID but generally speaking). During the summer and spring, their fur turns brown.

1. Of course, during the winter in those regions, it's going to be snowing and ice is going to be all over the ground. By having a white coat, they're able to blend in and hide from predators, such as the Arctic Wolf and Polar Bears. By turning brown, they'll be able to blend in with the dirt after the snow and ice melts, and again, hide from predators. For the other fox, their brown coat blends in with the dirt, trees, dead leaves, etc. and they'll be able to hide from prey and predators alike. 

2. The Arctic Fox also has very thick fur during the winter, which allows it to survive the extreme temperatures. They also dig burrows in the snow for shelter in blizzards. This gives them the ability to survive natural disasters (at least one of them).

I can't think of a third one but these should give you a pretty good idea of how their adaptations help them survive. I really love the Arctic fox so I know quite a bit about them. I really hope this helps you.
