Answer:

A. maintenance of axons is not a cellular activity associated with microtubules.

Explanation:

Microtubules are hollow, bead-like, tiny tubular structure that helps cells maintain its shapes. Together with microfilaments and intermediate filaments, they form part of the cell's cytoskeleton. Microtubules also contributes to the cell movement or cytokinesis that includes muscle contractions in muscle cells. Microtubules also replicated chromosomes to opposite ends of a cell during cell division. Microtubules also contribute to the parts of the cell that help it move and are structural elements of cilia, centrioles and flagella. A bundle of microtubules makes up an axonemal structure of cilia and flagella.

A newborn baby dies soon after birth because her diaphragm and rib cage muscles failed to contract and she was unable to breathe

kozerog [31]

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.
