Alleles are forms of the same gene with small differences in their sequence of DNA bases. These small differences contribute to each personâs unique physical features. Genes are made up of DNA.Each chromosome contains many genes. A gene is the basic physical and functional unit of heredity. Genes, which are made up of DNA, act as instructions to make molecules called proteins. In humans, genes vary in size from a few hundred DNA bases to more than 2 million bases.lleles are forms of the same gene with small differences in their sequence of DNA bases. These small differences contribute to each personâs unique physical features. Genes are made up of DNA.
To make a muscle contract, the acetylcholine produced in the presynaptic neuron of the neuromuscular junction must bind to the nicotinic receptors on the postsynaptic side. Each of these receptors consists of 5 subunits that form a pentagonal structure around a central channel.
Acetylcholine is a key neurotransmitter acting on a wide number of functions and tissues. This figure shows the three main locations of acetylcholine receptors: CNS receptors (muscarinic and nicotinic): cholinergic neurotransmission at the CNS level is thought to regulate sleep, wakefulness, and memory.
