The five proteins of the myofilaments are the following:

1. Myosin, shaped like a golf club, with two polypeptides intertwined to form a shaftlike tail and a double globular head, or cross-bridge, projecting from it at an angle.

2. Fibrous actin is like a bead necklace—a string of subunits called globular (G) actin. Each G actin has an active site that can bind to the head of a myosin molecule.

3. Tropomyosin. It blocks the active sites of six or seven G actins and prevents myosin cross-bridges from binding to them when a muscle fiber is relaxed.

4. Troponin a smaller calcium-binding protein bound to each tropomyosin molecule.

5. Titin (connectin), run through the core of a thick filament, emerge from the end of it, and connect it to a structure called the Z disc.

What type of syndrome is this Karyotype

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

Patau's syndrome

Explanation:

Patau's syndrome is a genetic disorder caused by one additional chromosome 13, and therefore it is an aneuploidy caused by an extra chromosome (i.e., a trisomy). Individuals with Patau's syndrome have 47 chromosomes instead of 46 in some or all their somatic cells. This syndrome seriously affects fetal development, usually resulting in miscarriage, stillbirth or in neonatal death. The incidence of this syndrome is around 1/5,000 births.

how does tourism and over hunting affect the populations of the Australian Freshwater Crocodile (Crocodylus Johnstoni) ???

DerKrebs [107]

Tourism can affect the swamp water, if traveled on a boat, with all the oil and stuff that is needed to get the boat running, and over hunting, can slowly kill all the crocodiles that live there affecting the crocodile population!
