Slow-twitch fibers resist fatigue and keep contracted for long periods. Fast-twitch fibers provide force and fast contraction for short periods. Option C. timing of tension rise and fall.

<h3>What is the difference between slow-twitch and fast-twitch motor units?</h3>

 

There are two muscle fiber types in the skeletal muscle, and their function is not the same. These are

  • the fast-twitch
  • the slow-twitch

<u>Slow-twitch muscle fibers</u> - Type I-

  • These are small-sized fibers.
  • They provide low force and slow contraction.
  • These are fibers that resist fatigue and are in charge of sustained movements.
  • They get to their maximum tension slower.
  • Since their action is sustained for long periods, they need too much energy to keep working. This is why these cells have several mitochondria.
  • They can support long periods of contraction.

<u>Fast-twitch muscle fibers</u> - Type II-

  • These are large cells.
  • They provide high force and fast contraction.
  • They get to their maximum tension faster.
  • These fibers offer a more powerful force than the slow-twitch ones.
  • However, their duration is lower, and get to fatigue much faster. They offer short-period contractions.
  • They support powerful and fast movements, but for short periods.

According to this information, we can assume that the main difference between slow-twitch and fast-twitch motor units is the timing of tension rise and fall. Option C.

In Drosophila, the genes crossveinless and Stubble are linked, about 7 map units apart on chromosome 3. cv is a recessive mutant
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

0.035

Explanation:

<u>cv+ is the wild-type dominant allele over cv, therefore:</u>

  • cv+cv+ and cv+cv cause wild-type phenotype for crossveinless
  • cv cv causes the crossveinless phenotype

<u>Sb is a dominant mutant allele over wild-type Sb+, therefore:</u>

  • Sb Sb and Sb Sb+ cause Stubble phenotype
  • Sb+ Sb+ causes wild type phenotype for Stubble

<h3><u>Test cross</u></h3>

It's the cross between the heterozygous female with a homozygous recessive male. Remember that cv and Sb+ are the recessive alleles.

\frac{cv\   Sb^+}{cv^+\ Sb}  X \frac{cv \ Sb+}{cv \ Sb+}

-The male produces only 1 type of gamete: cv Sb+

-The female produces 4 types of gametes:

  • cv Sb+   ] Parental
  • cv+ Sb   ] Parental
  • cv Sb     ] Recombinant
  • cv+ Sb+ ] Recombinant

The genes are linked and separated by 7 map units. A distance of 7 mu means that 7% of the resulting gametes will be recombinant. Because there are 2 possible recombinant gametes, each of them will appear in 3.5% of the cases.

The genotypes and proportions of the offspring resulting from the test cross can be seen in the Punnett Square. The phenotypically wild-type individuals will have the genotype cv+ Sb+ / cv Sb+ (heterozygous for crossveinless and homozygous recessive for Stubble) and a 0.035 proportion.

Why are protozoa called microscopic organism​
solniwko [45]

Answer:

protozoan, organism, usually single-celled and heterotrophic (using organic carbon as a source of energy), belonging to any of the major lineages of protists and, like most protists, typically microscopic. All protozoans are eukaryotes and therefore possess a “true,” or membrane-bound, nucleus.
