Answer:

d. propagation of an action potential along the sarcolemma and T tubules

Explanation:

Excitation-contraction coupling occurs in the body as an electrical signal to the muscles, which must capture this signal and perform muscle contraction.

After this signal is emitted, an action potential is generated that will act on the neuromuscular junction and spread quickly and coordinated by the sarcolemma, reaching the T tubules.

In the T tubules, receptors of dihydropyridine receptors are located, which will continue the process, until muscle contraction is performed.

Excitation-contraction coupling refers to the series of events that begins with the excitation of the sarcolemma in response to stimulation by a neurotransmitter, and results in the release of calcium ions from the sarcoplasmic reticulum.

Hence, option D is the 1st process that starts the excitation-contraction coupling.

In humans, the eye color and hair color genes are located on different chromosomes. Brown eyes (B) are dominant to blue (b), and
Andrej [43]

Answer:

Man's genotype: Bbdd

Woman's genotype: bbDd

First child's genotype: Bbdd

Second child's genotype: bbDd

Explanation:

This is a dihybrid cross involving two genes; one coding for eye color and the other for hair color in humans. The allele for brown eye (B) is dominant over the allele for blue eyes (b) in the first gene while the allele for dark hair (D) is dominant over the allele for red hair (d) in the second gene.

According to the question, A man with brown eyes and red hair will possibly possess genotypes: BBdd or Bbdd while a woman with blue eyes and dark hair will possibly have genotype: bbDD or bbDd. Considering the fact that they produced children with recessive traits for both gene (blue eyes and red hair), it means that they are heterozygous for their dominant trait. This means that the ideal genotype for the man is Bbdd since he will produce gametes containing B and b alleles for the first gene while the ideal genotype for the woman is bbDd since it will produce gametes with D and d allele for the second gene.

Hence, a child with brown eyes and red hair will possess genotype: Bbdd since he/she cannot receive two dominant alleles for the first gene from both parents. A child with blue eyes and dark hair will have genotype: bbDd since he/she cannot receive two dominant alleles of the second gene from both parents.
