Answer:

The functional unit of a muscle cell is known as a "sarcomere" which covers the distance between the two Z-lines.

The sarcomere consists of A-zone which contains both thick and thin filaments, H-zone which contains only thick filaments and I band which contains only thin filaments.

During muscle contraction, thick and thin myofibrils slide over each other due to which the distance between two z-line get reduced. The H and I zone gets shortened but A zone does not shorten but come close to other A- bands and disappears.

It became apparent to Watson and Crick after completion of their model that the DNA molecule could carry a vast amount of heredi

LenaWriter [7]

Explanation:

Watson & Crick discovered that DNA is composed of two (2) strands of DNA running antiparallel to each other. One strand is oriented in the 5’ -> 3’ direction while the other is oriented in the 3’ -> 5’ direction. The nitrogenous bases of the strands are found in between the two-strand backbones and they form hydrogen bonding with each other. Specifically, pyrimidines (Cytosine and Thymine) pair with purine (Adenine and Guanine).

The space between the strands is even throughout like a ladder with rungs of equal lengths. However during the twisting on the DNA helix, there are major grooves and minor grooves that form along the helix because of the nature of how the nitrogenous bases are attached to their respective strand. They do not project from their strands at 90 degrees.
