Smooth muscle cells lack which protein(s)?

Biology
1 answer:
LuckyWell [14K]3 years ago
3 0

The correct answer is C. troponin only.

The smooth muscle cells contain similar elements like the cardiac and skeletal muscle cells including actin, myosin and tropomyosin but they contain troponin.

Smooth muscle tissues are non striated and produce their own connective tissue called endomysium. Smooth muscle cells also lack sarcomeres but have other thin and thick filaments along with actin and myosin contractile proteins.

Due to lack of troponin the cross bridge formation is regulated by the regulatory protein calmodulin instead of the troponin- tropomyosin complex.

How are alleles for the same gene related
Olenka [21]
Explained in greater detail, each gene resides at a specific locus (location on a chromosome) in two copies, one copy of the gene inherited from each parent. The copies, however, are not necessarily the same. When the copies of a gene differ from each other, they are known as alleles.

Which is a phenomenon that can result from directional selection? a. There is an increase in the number of different breeds of d
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

B) There is an increase in the number of giraffes with long necks in areas of Africa where low-growing trees have died

Explanation:

The directional selection is one of the ways of the natural selection in which the natural selection selects or favours the most extreme trait of the species and the extreme trait show higher fitness than the normal or average trait.

In the given question, the case of Giraffe necks shows directional selection as the normal length of the neck is not favoured by the environment but the extreme trait that is long neck is favoured by the environment and the selection shifted to that level.

Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.
