Muscles are the tissue structures that move bones. They are connected to bones and need proteins to grow and stay healthy.

Answer is Muscles.

Muscles work on contraction. Muscles can only pull and cannot push. This means that a muscle can only move a bone in one direction and there is no way to move the bone back again. This problem is solved by having muscles in pairs, called antagonistic muscles. The antagonistic muscles work in pairs. One muscle contracts while the other relaxes.

For example, the lower arm is moved upwards when the biceps muscle contracts and the triceps muscle is relaxed. To lower the forearm again, the triceps contracts and the biceps relaxes.

Bezzdna [24]

There is a 3/4 chance their offspring will be black. If you make a Punnett's (I hope that's how you spell it) square then you will find that one offspring will be homozygous for black hair, two will be heterozygous with black hair, and one will be homozygous with brown hair. Therefore, there's a 3/4 chance the offspring will have black hair. Hope this helped!
