An axon has 4 terminal ends connected with dendrites of four different neurons. Its nerve impulse will

1. Become weak due to distribution into four
2. Travel in all the four neurons with equal strength
3. Pass on to one neuron only
4. Travel to none because the movement of impulse is from dendrite to axon

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R): 
 
Assertion (A): The resting membrane potential in a neuron is much closer to the equilibrium potential of K+ ions than it is to equilibrium potential of Na+ ions.
Reason (R): While potassium is the principal cation in the intracellular fluid, sodium is the principal cation in the extracellular fluid.


In the light of the above statements choose the correct answer from the options given below:

1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is True but (R) is False.
4. Both (A) and (R) are False.

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R): 
Assertion (A): Once initiated, the action potential has a magnitude that is independent of the strength of the triggering stimulus.
Reason (R): Action potentials are all or none responses to stimuli.


In the light of the above statements choose the correct answer from the options given below:

1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
