Answer:

sarcoplasmic reticulum deteriorates and ATP production is stopped

Explanation:

Rigor mortis is the third stage of death characterized by stiffening of joints and muscles in body. The stiffening occurs because muscles are not able to return to the relaxed state. There are two reasons for rigor mortis, depletion of ATP and increase in calcium concentration in cytosol. Due to these factors the actin-myosin crossbridge is not able to break and the muscles remain in contracted state.

Sarcoplasmic reticulum deteriorates and calcium is released into the cytosol. Sarcolemma ( covering of muscle fiber ) also breaks down releasing extra calcium into the cytosol. Calcium is responsible for formation of actin-myosin cross bridge and when its concentration increases the bridge is formed continuously leading to stiffening of muscles and joints.

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

Since you haven't attached the illustration for finding out the amino acid sequence from the mRNA sequence from, I'll explain the general principle for it.

The mRNA represents the code for translation into specific amino acids which will form the protein. A group of three bases, a triplet code, is referred to as a codon. The tRNA is responsible for recognizing the codon and matching the anticodon that will attach to the mRNA and generate the chain of appropriate amino acids.

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!
