<u>Answer</u>:

The term for the ability of muscles to be slightly contracted at all times to be ready to act is Muscle tone.  

<u>Explanation</u>:

Regular partial contraction of the muscle or can be said as its resistance power to stretching during the resting phase. It helps in maintaining the posture of the body. The muscle tone occurs due to the hypotonia. This happens as the muscles depends upon the motor nerve signals which can be disrupted at the brain level, spinal cord or may be due to damage of muscle nerve. It can be measured with the stiffness which acts as a resistance to that of the passive movement.

Hairpins often form at palindromic sequences in single strands of either rna or dna. however, several key features differentiate
AlekseyPX
Hairpin like structures are formed in both DNA and RNA but are common in RNA than in DNA. This is because DNA can be double stranded or single stranded while RNA is generally single stranded structure that can be double stranded only when it forms a hair pin like structure.
The features of hairpin structure in RNA are as follows:
1. This structure is a building block of many secondary structures of RNA.
2. The termination sequence during transcription also forms a hairpin loop like structure.
3. tRNA also forms a hairpin loop like structure and helps in the process of translation.

Explain how sexual reproduction leads to variation​
raketka [301]

Explanation:

Unlike asexual reproduction or genetically identical cloning, sexual reproduction involves a sperm and egg and that includes DNA from each parent and since we are humans, we vary and have different traits than another so the baby will inherit some of the parent traits but not all and it makes them unique.
