3 Which statement best describes a cause and its effect that occurs during the process of muscle contraction? A. The release of

calcium ions causes myosin and actin to attach to each other. B. The pull of myosin on actin causes the motor neuron to send a nerve impulse. C. The presence of calcium ions within nerve cells causes the sarcomere to shorten. D. The shortening of the sarcomere causes the release of calcium around the myofibrils.

Answer:A. The release of calcium ions causes myosin and actin to attach to each other.

The contraction of skeletal muscles takes place by induction of a nerve impulse, which produces a movement and the interaction of the filaments containing proteins named as actin and myosin. This interaction of filaments is regulated by proteins  called tropomyosin and troponin present on the actin filaments. The motor nerve causes the depolarization of the muscle membrane sarcolemma. This triggers the sarcoplasmic reticulum to release calcium ions. This calcium binds to troponin and thus allows the tropomyosine strand on the actin filament to displace so that the part of the actin where myosine head needs to be attached remain uncovered. Binding of the actin myosine filament results in contraction.

Hence, the release of calcium ions causes myosin and actin to attach to each other causes muscle contraction.

If an organism expresses a recessive phenotype, can you tell the genotype? Explain your answer by giving an example.
kolezko [41]

Phenotype is the physical appearance
Genotype is the traits in letters.

lets say green eyes...
having the gene GG, Gg, except gg will yield green eyes
so, if you see someone with green eyes, he/she must either have two dominant trait or 1 dominant and 1 recessive trait. Since you gave to us that an organism expresses a recessive phenotype, you can automatically tell that the person will have 1 dominant and 1 recessive, or Gg.

However, if that is not given, you wont be able to tell the genotype based on looking at a person.

ki77a [65]

Taxol is a chemotherapeutic drug that will attach to the spindle fibers and prevent their function thereby killing the cancer cell. The Anaphase process is avoided from occurring by this drug.

<h3>What is Taxol?</h3>

Taxol (chemical name: paclitaxel) is a anti-cancer chemotherapy drug used to treat cancer, blocks cancer cell growth by stopping cell division, resulting in cell death. It is used in treatment of breast cancer, ovarian cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, and AIDS-related Kaposi sarcoma.

Taxol interferes with anaphase process by inhibiting the shortening of the microtubules attached to the sister chromatids, so the chromatids do not separate and hence, will not move to the ends of the cells. Ultimately the cell division does not take place.

A sea scallop moves by shooting jets of water out of its shell. what law does this illustrate
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

This illustrates Newton's third law of motion which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The sea scallop moves by shooting jets of water out of its shell. The water shooting out pushes in one direction and there is an equal and opposite force that pushes the sea scallop forward.
