Answer:

Chromosome is the compact form of genetic material(DNA) present in the nucleus of a cell. These chromosomes are a combination of proteins and DNA. These chromosomes carry our hereditary material in the form of genes.

Each chromosomes carry many genes which are transferred to the next generation. Each chromosome divides into the S- phase and they become compact during the mitosis phase.  

Chromosomes can be seen under the microscope in the metaphase stage of cell cycle. 23 pairs of chromosomes are present in each cell out of which 22 are autosomes and 23rd is the sex chromosome.  

These sex chromosomes is different in both male and female because females have two X chromosomes and male have one X and one Y chromosome as sex chromosome.

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

No, cardiac muscle tissue does not exhibit recruitment.

Explanation:

The cardiac muscle tissue does not recruit cells to contract. The reason is that the cardiac muscle contracts all its cells at once and with the same force. It does not have to recruit other cells since it does not have to lift objects of different weights. The heart's contraction aims to pump blood and to do it rhythmically. The heart has a natural peacemaker, the sinoatrial node. The Sinoatrial node transmits an electrical impulse to all the heart to contract it all at the same time and continuously. For these reasons, the cardiac muscle does not need recruitment.
