Answer: When sarcomeres shorten, the muscle fiber SHORTENS.

Explanation:

A muscle fiber is made up of many myofibrils that are attached at either end, which are composed of repeating subunits called sarcomeres that are responsible for muscle contraction. There are two types of filaments that makes up myofibrils they include;

- thick filaments and

- thin filaments

These filaments form the overlapping layers of sarcomeres. The contraction of muscle occurs through sliding- filaments model in the sarcomeres. The sarcomere and the muscle fibre shortens in length during muscle contraction ,due to the thick and thin filaments sliding over each other. I hope this helps, thanks.

Answer:

B. Shortens

Explanation:

Myofibrils are components of the animal skeletal muscles that are made up of sacromeres. They perform the muscular contraction and relaxation via the sliding filament model.

To produce motion, A cross-bridge forms between actin and the myosin heads triggering shortening of the sacromere. This shortening of the sacromere results in the contraction of the muscle fibers, which the net effect can be seen to be a shortening of the fibers

Why is a sidereal day shorter than a solar day on earth?
Nadusha1986 [10]
The Sidereal Day is 4 minutes shorter than the Mean Solar Day, because the rotation of the Earth on its axis, and the orbiting of the Earth around the Sun, are both counterclockwise, as viewed from above (or north of) the Ecliptic Plane. See planetary retrograde motion for an example of the opposite situation.

The reason that the Solar Day varies around the Mean Solar Day is that the Earth moves at different speeds through its orbit around the Sun. This is in keeping with Kepler's Second Law of Planetary Motion.

Please note that the Mean Solar Day changes over a long period of time, due to the slowing of the rotation of the Earth due to tidal forces exerted on the Earth primarily by the Moon. For example, the Mean Solar Day was about 23 hours about 250 million years ago.

What is the genotype ratio?
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

B. 2 : 0 : 2

Explanation:

In a punnet square, the alleles would be Tt, Tt, tt, tt. So, you have 2/4 or 50% of the genotype Tt, and 2/4 or 50% of the genotype tt.
