Answer:

The plus end for all actin filaments.(Ans. A)

Explanation:

All three types of muscles (cardiac, smooth, and skeletal) utilize actin filaments to generate force which leads to cell contraction. Actin filaments is organized into sarcomeres which function as the fundamental unit of contraction.

Sarcomeres are approx 2.4 micro meter in length, and they are bounded at both end with the help of Z-disks. Plus end of the Z-disks are oriented with actin filaments and their minus ends to the direction of center of the sarcomeres. Z-disk consist an actin capping protein, which is known as cap-Z. Cap-Z helps to bind plus end of the actin filaments.

harkovskaia [24]

If given a chance to advice Mr. Smith, I would recommend him to minimize going out in the sun when it is at the peak of the morning but if not possible since he works under the sun, it would be good to put on sunblock with a highest SPF and use precautionary measures like using hats and wearing long sleeve to protect also the skin.  More water to hydrate, and vitamins for skin protection.

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

T T C O C T

Explanation:

Each eukaryotic chromosome usually has repeated telomere sequences ranging from 2 to as many as 2000.

There is normally just one specialized DNA sequence called the centromere per eukaryotic chromosomal DNA molecule.

The origin of replication is the site where DNA duplication starts in S phase.

The centromere attaches the chromosome to the mitotic spindle via the kinetochore structure.

Teleomere contains repeateted sequences at the ends of the chromosomes.
