Chapter 9.7, Problem 17P
Summary Introduction
To determine: The relationship between action potentials and impulses.
Introduction: Neurons are brain cells that are specialized to transmit nerve impulses. In vertebrates, neurons play an important role in the flow of information. For an action potential to occur, the cytoplasm in the neuron’s trigger zone must reach the threshold potential.

There is a species of eagle, which lives in a tropical forest in Brazil. The alula pattern of its wings is determined by a single autosomal gene with four alleles that exhibit an unknown hierarchy of dominance. Genetic testing shows that individuals 1-1, 11-4, 11-7, III-1, and III-4 are each homozygous.
How many possible genotypes among checkered eagles in the population?
what is this called?
