The force generated by a single muscle fiber can be increased by

Answer:

A) increasing frequency of action potentials only.

Explanation:

If the muscle fibers begin the contraction with the sarcomere too elongated, the thick and thin filaments would be barely overlapping, forming few crossed bridges. On the contrary, if the sarcomere is too shortened so that the thick filaments reach the z-disks, the myosin is unable to find new fixation sites for cross-bridge formation and the tension decreases rapidly.

But to better understand how the contraction force increases, it should be noted that a single contraction does not represent the maximum force that a muscle fiber can develop. <u>The force generated by the contraction of a muscle fiber is increased, increasing the frequency with which the action potentials of the muscle stimulate said fiber,</u> that is to say that the nervous system controls part of this.

A potential muscular type action lasts between 1 and 3 ms. While muscle contraction can last 100 ms. If the repeated action potentials are separated by prolonged intervals of time, the muscle fiber has time to fully relax between the stimuli. If the action potentials continue to stimulate muscle fiber repeatedly at short intervals (high frequency), the relaxation between contractions decreases until the muscle fiber achieves a state of maximum contraction known as tetanus.

Answer:

4, based on the assumption that the R allele is dominant over the r allele, and that the T allele is dominant over the t allele.

Explanation:

Any bush with a dominant petal color allele (R) will have red petals. This includes Rr and RR.

Any bush with a dominant bush size allele (T) will have a tall bush. This includes Tt and TT.

The only way to acquire a short bush or pink petals is to have two recessive alleles together (tt, rr).

RRTT, RrTT, RRTt, and RrTt -> red petals with tall bushes

RRtt, Rrtt -> Red petals with short bushes

rrTt, rrTT -> pink petals and tall bushes

rrtt-> pink petals with short bushes.

These are the four phenotype variations possible in this dihybrid cross.
