Imagine you created a toxin such that binds to the sodium-potassium pump. The toxin binds immediately to the sodium-potassium pump at the peak of the action potential but does not alter the function of sodium and potassium channels. Which of the processes would the toxin prohibit in the neuron?

The human genome project is devoted to mapping the general dna sequence of our species. this could lead to the development of new medicines, as well as the possibility of using gene therapy to treat certain diseases. however, there are some ethical issues surrounding the mapping of individual genomes. one concern is a) that your genes may change over time, making the project useless. b) that insurance companies could discriminate based on genetic make-up. c) that since this has never been done before, we should probably not do it now. d) that sequencing our individual genomes is so expensive, it is a counter-productive strategy.
