Answer:

B. It was passed to the individual by a gamete from the father.

Explanation:

DNA is transferred to the next generation via gametes, which are produced during meiosis. During meiosis, half of the genetic material is transferred from parent cell to their gametes. Therefore, among the given options, only B is correct.

Option A is not correct because it talks about somatic cells; whereas, in somatic cells, genetic material is not transferred half rather duplicate first and then a complete duplicated set of genetic material is transferred.

Option C is also not correct because only one gamete (sperm) fertilizes the egg. Hence, not half of his cells descend from father gamete. Similarly, option D is also incorrect because it is not possible to descend half of the nuclei from the father to the offspring.

Are Sarcomeres made of amino acids?

nevsk [136]

Answer:

A titin mutation that occurs in muscular dystrophy with myositis (mdm) mice results in a predicted 83 amino acid deletion in the N2A and PEVK regions of the titin protein. Muscles from mdm mice are actively more compliant possibly owing to the deletion in titin's I-band region. This suggests that modulation of titin stiffness in active sarcomeres by the proposed titin–thin filament interaction may be affected by the mdm mutation. The answer is YES I believe.

Explanation:

I believe the answer is yes from my deep reaserch. You may want to research in your texts book/lesson or courses and review what your teacher/professer has given you.
