Which structure has the active sites where the heads of the thick filaments will bind?

1 answer:

7 0

THE ACTIN has the active site to which the heads of the thick filament will bind.
The muscle is made up of two major protein fibers, which are the actin and the myosin. Muscle contractions occur when myosin and actin slide over each other in a series of repetitive events. The protein actin has a thin structure and is abundant in eukaryotic cells while myosin is a thick filament.

galben [10]

Answer:

100%

Explanation:

This question involves two genes in guinea pigs; one coding for fur color and the other for fur length. The alleles of black fur (B) and short fur (F) is dominant over the alleles for brown fur (b) and long fur (f).

In a cross between two offsprings with genotypes: BBFF x bbff, the following gametes will be produced by each parent:

BBFF - BF, BF, BF, and BF

bbff - bf, bf, bf, bf

Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), one will notice that all of the offsprings will have the genotype: BbFf i.e all or 100% of the offsprings are heterozygous for both of the genes or traits.
