Answer:
Sexual reproduction is advantageous over asexual reproduction because it reduces the rate of mutation accumulation.
Explanation:
The main advantage of sexual reproduction is that it increases the genetic variation in the species by creating new combinations of alleles.
However, asexual reproduction produces more offspring, as it is usually a quicker method of reproduction. It also does not require the organisms to socialise to mate.
Sexual reproduction does not reduce the rate of mutation, which is influenced by environmental factors as well as the genome itself.
A sacromere is a segment between two adjacent Z discs and are essential for the striated structure of the cardiac and skeletal muscles.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The Z disc is surrounded by the I band made of thin filament called actin. The I band is followed by the A band made up of thick filament called myosin. When the muscles contract the actin and the myosin become superimposed/overlapped.
The sliding filament model explains the contraction of the sacromere in which the Z discs move closer due to the overlapping of the thin and thick filaments. Thus the I band moves close to the A band which remain the same length as shown in figure.
