Cells that protect the body by engulfing foreign cells or producing antibodies are D. White blood cells.
The most likely explanation for the variation is the offspring were produced from different combination of genes. A single pair of gold fish mentioned in the question means a male and a female gold fish. The two of them mated and contributed different genes to the fertilized fish eggs, this results in production of various body shape and colouration which is known as variation.
I’m not sure I’m probably rlly wrong but I think the answer is E
Answer:
Troponin
Explanation:
This is a complex of three proteins (Trop C, I, T) that are responsible for muscle contraction of the skeletal and cardiac muscles . its binds with protein tropomysin to lie in the grove between the actin filaments. its prevents contraction by blocking myosin crossbridge in a relax muscles.Inorder to aid contractions calcium ions binds with troponin, which leads to confrontational change.This exposes myosin on actin filaments, leading to formation of crossbridge and therefore contraction of muscles.
Therefore if there is a mutation in the gene that encoded Troponin, as explained above, calcium ion will not be able to bind with tropinin, and there will be no exposure of myosin on actin filaments, no binding of myosin on actin to cause crossbridge, and consequently no muscle contraction,
Thus the intercoastal muscle and diaphragm will not contract leading to death of the baby.
