Calcium ions bind to troponin-tropomyosin molecules located on the grooves of the actin filaments. upon binding with calcium ions, troponin changes shapes and moves tropomyosin out of the groove which the tropomyosin normally blocks the actin myosin binding points. This facilitates creation of the myosin-actin crossbridges which are the basis of contraction of muscles. ATP is the form of energy required to facilitate the creation of cross bridges and movement of calcium ions

The right answer is A) Trisomy

Aberrant karyotypes containing an abnormal number of chromosomes are known in the human species. The best-known (and most common) chromosomal abnormality is trisomy 21, which is responsible for Down syndrome (mongolism). There are others such as Turner syndrome (woman with a single X chromosome) or Klinefelter syndrome (man XXY).


These abnormalities originate from the non-disjunction of the chromosomes of a pair of homologues during metaphase I of meiosis. At the end of division I, a daughter cell contains the two chromosomes of the pair considered and the other cell does not contain a chromosome of this pair. A similar result can be obtained during a bad distribution of chromatids during anaphase II.


After fertilization from a gamete of this type, a trisomy or a monosomy is obtained.
