Myofibrils are the building blocks or contractile unit of each muscle fiber. The tiniest functional unit of skeletal muscle, the sarcomere, is found in the myofibrils and is made up of protein filaments: actin (thin) and myosin (thick).

List the cardiovascular and cardiac features unique to the fetus and describe their role in fetal circulation; explain the fate
STatiana [176]

Cardiovascular features unique to the Fetus:

Fetal circulation is characterized by low systemic vascular resistance (SVR) with high systemic blood flow and high pulmonary vascular resistance with low pulmonary blood flow.

<h3>What is fetal circulation?</h3>

The embryonic circulatory system directs blood that needs oxygen through three shunts, or microscopic tunnels. These shunts are intended to avoid forming organs like the liver and lungs while the fetus is still in the womb.

The foramen ovale, which carries blood from the right atrium of the heart to the left atrium, and the ductus arteriosus, which takes blood from the pulmonary artery to the aorta, are the two shunts that bypass the lungs.

Through the placenta, the mother's blood supplies the fetus with nutrition and oxygen. The enhanced blood divides into three branches as it travels via the umbilical cord to the liver.

If the right ventricle begins to pump an increased amount of blood, this soon arrives at the left ventricle, stretches it more t
Rzqust [24]
This question has choices namely:

preload
afterload
contractility
cardiac reserve

The correct answer is preload. Preload is the filling capacity of the heart and it corresponds to the volume of the blood that fills the ventricles during a cycle. In this case, the left ventricle needs to accommodate the increased volume from the right heat therefore increasing the filling capacity therefore the preload. 

Afterload is the pressure that the heart needs to overcome to pump the blood. In the right ventricle, the pressure is the pulmonary arteries wherein the right ventricle needs to contract and generate a pressure greater than the pulmonary arteries for the blood to move out the ventricle. Similarly, in the left ventricle, the source of pressure is the aorta and the left ventricle needs to contract and generate a pressure greater than the aorta and the systemic circulation for the blood to move out of the ventricle. 

Contractility is the force of contraction of each ventricle in one cycle.

Mutations and DNA replication errors can alter base sequences, thereby potentially creating or eliminating recognition sites. Gr
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

The given statement is true.

Explanation:

An error at the time of the replication of DNA or mutation can either result in the addition or deletion of DNA bases that eventually makes a substantial change in the sequence of DNA, and thus, will exhibit a substantial influence on the recognition sequence because of which one can witness a change in the site of recognition.  

This variation witnessed in the DNA's recognition site can be evaluated by treating the mutated DNA with the restriction enzymes that exhibit a uniqueness for the restriction sites. Afterward, by going through the process of gel electrophoresis one can witness the change in the number of bands of DNA showing variation in the restriction sites.
