is the process in which action potentials in the nerve fiber lead to action potentials in the muscle fiber. There is then a rapid fluctuation in membrane voltage at the motor end plate, called the end-plate potential. Areas of the sarcolemma near the motor plate have gates that open, moving ions, which causes the potential that excites the muscle fiber. The process begins with a nerve signal stimulating a voltage-gated ion channel to open, allowing the ions to enter the axon terminal. The ions stimulate the release of into the synaptic cleft.

Indicate whether the following statements about the biases in the fossil record are true or false. a) inland species are more likely to be preserved than marine species b) organisms with hard body parts are more likely to be preserved than are those composed soft tissues. c) species that existed over a larger area are more likely to be preserved than species existing over a smaller area. d) organisms that lived very long ago are more likely to be found as fossils than organisms that lived relatively recently e) the fossils of larger organisms are more likely to be found than the fossils of smaller organisms

Why does meiosis produce cells with half the chromosomes? o a. most of the chromosomes are not necessary to keep an organism alive. b. a gamete needs only half the number of chromosomes because two gametes join together. o c. it makes the gametes easier to move around in the organism. o d. it is faster to produce gametes with fewer chromosomes.
