The correct answer is this one: "A.When actin filaments are pulled toward the center of the sarcomere, the fiber shortens." The statement that accurately describes the way in which a muscle moves is when actin filaments are pulled toward the center of the sarcomere, the <span>fiber shortens</span>

Answer:

The correct answer would be option A.

It can be best explained with the help of sliding filament theory which states that muscle contraction takes place by sliding of actin (thin filament) and myosin (thick filament). past each other.

Calcium ions released as a result of action potential bind to the troponin on actin which unmasks the active sites.

Myosin heads bind to these exposed active sites and form cross-bridges.

With the help of ATP hydrolysis, myosin pulls the attached actin filaments and Z line towards the center of A band.

Consequently, the sarcomere shortens and results in contraction.

If immigration and emigration numbers remain equal which of these could cause a slowed growth rate
rodikova [14]

Answer;

Decreased birthrate

If immigration and emigration numbers remain equal , decreased birthrate could cause a slowed growth rate.

Explanation;

All populations change in size with time . Change in population is dependent of various factors, namely; birthrates, death rates, immigration and emigration.

Therefore; change in population size would be given by the difference of the sum of birth rates and immigration and the sum of death rates and emigration. That is; Change in Population Size = (Births + Immigration) - (Deaths + Emigration). A decreased birth rate with emigration and immigration remaining constant would cause a slowed growth rate.

How are checkpoints currently behaving in sally cancer cells
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

Instable behavior.

Explanation:

The checkpoints currently behaving instable in sally cancer cells because mutants show genetic instability so this instability is the cause of cancer disease. Two checkpoints are sensitive to DNA damage, one occur before mitosis cell division and the other occur before replication of DNA. So damage occur in these two check points leads to instable behavior of cancer cells.
