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

Which of the following events occurs during Meiosis I? The number of chromosomes increases from the haploid number to the diploi

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

Homologous chromosomes are separated from each other.

Explanation:

In meiosis I during metaphase, all the homologous chromosomes of the cell pair up and get arranged near equatorial plate. Subsequently after completion of meiosis I, these homologous chromosomes get separated from each other so that out of the two cells which are produced after meiosis I could get one chromosome each from the homologous pair. During anaphase I of meiosis I, spindle fibres are formed which drag each of these homologous chromosomes towards two opposite poles. Soon after that, cytokinesis occurs during telophase I of meiosis I leading to the generation of two cells.

For example, humans have 46 chromosomes or 23 pairs of homologous chromosomes. After completion of meiosis I, two cells are produced and each one of them has 23 chromosomes.
