Answer: False

Explanation: as the muscles shortens due to contraction, the actin filaments from opposite ends of the sarcomere approach each other. So the two Z bands come closer with reduction in length of the sarcomere

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The Z-line is a structure formed between adjacent sarcomeres and is found at each end of the sarcomere in striated muscle and defines the lateral boundaries of the sarcomere, its function is to give anchorage to titin and to the outer ends of the thin filaments.  Due to this anchoring function, the Z-lines are responsible for force of transmission and during contraction, as the sarcomere shortens, the distance between Z lines lessens

in order for natural selection to take place, we must have a.one individual b.a cloned species c.the same traits d.variety in a
padilas [110]
Natural selection can only occur because of a variety in a population. Natural selection refers to environmental factors that affect a population and causes some of the population to have more surviving offspring than others. An example is a giraffe with a longer neck will be more likely to survive and reproduce (as it can gather more food from taller trees)

What are the 3 bases of finding the amino acid of a codon
lys-0071 [83]

The three nucleotides are the bases used to encode an amino acid of codon.

<u>EXPLANATION: </u>

Genetic code explains the bases and flow in DNA followed by the flow of amino acids present in the proteins.Proteins are usually made of 20 amino acids that has been encoded by four bases. Now, at least three bases are required to encode 20 amino acids.

Three adjacent nucleotides forms a unit called codon. Also, experiments have been done to show that the single amino acid encoded by a group of three bases. This code doesn't overlap with others and the order of flow is read sequentially without any punctuation.
