A mutation in the DNA sequence may lead to a different amino acid sequence may lead to a different amino acid being produced in the primary protein structure of the enzyme during translation. This may cau...

The increased pressure caused by the stimulus opens pressure gated sodium ion channels allowing Na+ ions to diffuse (down a concentration gradient) into the axon. This sudden influx of Na+ ions causes a l...
