Answer:

Arrangement of the actin and Myosin filament

Explanation:

SACROMERE :An elastic membrane which serves for the *arrangement of the actin and myosin filament *

The fasciculi consist of still smaller bundles of elongated, cylindrical muscle cells, the fibre. Each fibre is a syncytium, i. e, has many nuclei. With the aid of an electron microscope, it can be seen that the muscle fibre is made up of smaller units, the myofibrils. Each myofibrils consists of small protein filaments known as *ACTIN and MYOSIN* filaments. The myosin filaments are slightly thicker and make up the darkband(or A-band). The actin filaments make up the light bands(I-band) which are situated on either side of the dark band. The actin filaments are attached to the Z-line.

During the contractions of skeletal muscle, the actin filaments slide inwards between the myosin filaments. Mitochondria provides the energy for this to take place. This action causes the shortening of the sacromeres(Z-lines move closer together, which in turn causes the whole muscle fibre to contract.This can bring shortening of the entire muscle such as biceps, depending on the number of muscle fibres that were stipulated. The contraction of the skeletal muscle is very quick and forceful.

Which mutations is most likely to cause a phenotypic change?
melomori [17]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows:

Which of the following mutations is most likely to cause a phenotypic change?

A) a duplication of all or most introns

B) a large inversion whose ends are each in intergenic regions

C) a nucleotide substitution in an exon coding for a transmembrane domain

D) a single nucleotide deletion in an exon coding for an active site

E) a frameshift mutation one codon away from the 3' end of the nontemplate strand

Answer: D) a single nucleotide deletion in an exon coding for an active site

Explanation:

Deletion or insertion of a single nucleotide in an axon coding for an active site is called frameshift mutation.

The sequence of codons is read during translation, in order to synthesize a amino acids chain and form a protein from the nucleotide sequence. Frameshift mutations occur when the usual codon sequence is broken by the deletion or addition of one or more nucleotides. For example, if only one nucleotide is removed from the axon sequence during the RNA splicing process, then there will be a disrupted reading frame for all codons before and after the mutation. This may result in several incorrect amino acids being introduced into the protein. Disruption in protein sequence will cause phenotypic change.

Hence, the correct option is D) a single nucleotide deletion in an exon coding for an active site .

Describe two ways evolution of organisms can have a harmful effect on humans.
spin [16.1K]
Looks like the question is asking how evolution of a specific species affects humans negatively.
<span>Think of co-evolution examples such as predator-prey and host-parasite relationships.
</span>One example that comes to mind is <span>the use of pesticides in agriculture. It has driven the evolution of resistant insects, requiring the use of harsher chemicals in greater quantity to kill them. This can have a harmful effect on agriculture and in turn affect humans negatively. Does that makes sense?</span>

ASAP Explain how heat in the atmosphere and water affect weather.
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

Explain how heat in the atmosphere and water affect weather?

Amount of water in the atmosphere determines the amount of rainfall which depicts how cool the environment would look like.

Water has a great effect on the weather as evaporation helps to determine whether there would be heat or not, when there is high rise of evaporation it shows that the environment or weather is hot vice versa
