Answer:

B. polyphyletic group

Explanation:

Polyphyletic group is a taxon which comprises of organisms which are unrelated and do not share a recent or immediate common ancestor. Polyphyletic group is often used to refer to a group of organisms with similar characteristics called homoplasies, but not inherited from  a common ancestor. This means that the organisms are of multiple origins irrespective of the traits that make them similar.

Therefore, from the question, because we do not consider ourselves fish, we would describe the group "fish" as polyphyletic.

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

DDWw x Ddww

DdWw x DDww

DDWw x DDww

Explanation:

D for tallness

d for dwarfness

W for violet

w for  white

For Parental Plants that has

tall, violet x tall, white

 The representation will be

DDWW × DDww      (We the apply the mendelian crossing)

This will yield offsprings with the following trait

DDDD × DwDw

DDDD × DwDw

DWDW x WwWw

DdWw x ddww

Ddww x ddWw

DdWw x DdWw

DDWw x ddww

From the above Offsprings

1/2 tall, white and 1/2 tall, violets offspring are

DDWw x Ddww

after a power stroke, the myosin head must detach from acting before another powerstroke can occur. what causes
kompoz [17]

The myosin head separates from actin as a result of ATP binding. The intrinsic ATPase activity of myosin then transforms ATP into ADP and Pi. The myosin head's angle is altered into a cocked state by the energy generated during ATP hydrolysis. The myosin head is now ready to move in the future.

The myosin protein is in a high-energy conformation when the head is cocked. At the end of the power stroke, the myosin head is in a low-energy position because this energy has been used up during the power stroke. ADP is released following the power stroke, but the cross-bridge is still there and actin and myosin are joined together.

Since ATP is readily available, the cross-bridge cycle can repeat, and muscular contraction can go on as long as ATP is there.
