Answer:

Sarcomere

Explanation:

The muscle fiber / myofibrils consist of 2 types of filaments - actin and myosin. The myosin filaments are thick filament whereas the actin filaments are the thin filament.

In addition to this, the muscles have A-band and I-bands. These bands give the muscles alternate light and dark colour band structure. In the A-band, myosin filaments are present, whereas in the I - band the actin filaments are found.

In I-band 2 Z-lines are located.  The area between the Z-lines is called sarcomere. In this sarcomere region both actin and myosin filaments present.

When muscles get contracted the length of the sarcomere shorten. The actin and myosin filaments overlap in this area. A cross-bridge form between them, with the help of filamentous protein titin.

Describe the<br> relationship<br> between the age<br> of rock layers and<br> an unconformity
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

Laws of stratigraphy help scientists determine the relative ages of rocks. This law states that deeper rock layers are older than layers closer to the surface. An unconformity is a gap in rock layers. They occur where older rock layers eroded completely before new rock layers were deposited.

Explanation:

The study of rock strata is called stratigraphy. The laws of stratigraphy can help scientists understand Earth’s past. The laws of stratigraphy are usually credited to a geologist from Denmark named Nicolas Steno. He lived in the 1600s.
