How do myelin sheaths increase the speed with which action potentials are propagated along an axon?

A) They increase the permeability of Na+ ions in the plasma membrane. B) They amplify the action potential by increasing sodium influx along the entire distance of the neuron. C) They cause action potentials to "jump" down the axon rather than travel in a continuous path along every site on the axon.

How would the two cells be affected by inactivating these proteins?

You are investigating two temperature-sensitive mutant cells. In one, you can inactivate shugoshin activity by raising the temperature slightly at the start of meiosis. In the other, you can similarly inactivate separase activity by raising the temperature. What will be an ideal response?
