1. The presynaptic action potential reaches the synaptic knob. 2) The terminal is depolarised. 3) Voltage gated calcium channels in the presynaptic knob open. 4) Calcium enters through the calcium chan...

Before we start on the specifics of the experiment itself we need to understand how DNA replication occurs on a molecular level. DNA is made up of four different bases; A, C, G and T....

Sarcomeres are formed of myosin and actin filaments which are interleaved. If myosin cannot bind to each other then thick filaments cannot be formed. Thus, there is nothing to anchor myosin so actin canno...

Genes in DNA encode protein molecules. The first step of expressing a gene is transferring the information in DNA to a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule, by a process called transcription. DNA Helicase unwind...
