Answer:

The correct answer will be option-E.

Explanation:

Chordae tendinae are the string-like structure in the heart which is composed of dense regular connective tissue called collagen and elastin proteins. They arise from the papillary muscles of the heart and branches out in the ventricle portion of the heart.

These play an important role in the closure of the AV valves to prevent the backward flow of the blood to the atria during ventricular contraction by holding cusps of the valve into the dome-shaped structure.

Thus, option-E is the correct answer.

7. Phytochrome prevents seeds of some plants from germinating when they are in deep shade by the: absorption of far-red waveleng

SIZIF [17.4K]

<h2>Function of Phytochrome </h2>

Explanation:

The color of light that they absorb maximally by the two types such as Pfr is a blue-green structure that ingests far-red light (730 nm) and Pr is a blue structure that retains red light (660 nm)
Pfr assimilates far-red light, it is changed over to the Pr structure
Pfr can spontaneously revert to the Pr form structure in obscurity dark over time = dark reversion Pfr is additionally helpless to proteinases
Pfr contains some red light, so in red light 15% Pr and there is a parity of 85% Pfr.
The phytochrome (Pr) is changed over to the organically dynamic structure red light with the Pfr under illumination
Darkness and Far -red light convert the particle back to the inactive form.
