Answer:

Myosin heads are attached to actin filaments

Explanation:

During the process of muscle contraction, myosin heads are attached to actin filaments. ATP is necessary for their release and for the muscle relaxation.

In rigor mortis, myosin heads continue binding with the active sites of actin proteins. This occurs because after death, there is no production of ATP and consequently, the muscle is unable to relax until further enzyme activity degrades the complex.

Lysogeny can result in all of the following EXCEPT:
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is option (d)-"immunity to reinfection by any phage".

Explanation:

Lysogeny is one of the two cycles that comprise viral reproduction, at which the bacteriophage genetic information is introduced into the host bacterium's genome. Lysogeny could result in immunity to reinfection by the same phage, however this not happens when the reinfection takes place by any phage. When reinfection occurs by the same phage, the host bacteria acquires immunity resulting from the recognition of their particular DNA sequences. This not happens when reinfection occurs in any phage as they could have different DNA sequences.

<span>F1 generation: AA  Aa  Aa  aa</span>
<span>This means that ½ of the offspring will be heterozygous, ¼ will be homozygous (dominant) and ¼ will be homozygous (recessive).</span>

True or false all changes in genes due to mutations are not beneficial
Troyanec [42]
False, changes in genes due to mutations can be beneficial. (An example would be polar bears. They had a genetic mutation that gave them their white fur. Therefore, they blended in with snow easier, ate more food, survived longer, and passed down their genetics, while those without the mutation died out.)
