The correct answer is that "t<span>roponin holds the tropomyosin in place on the actin".

In excitation-contraction coupling, tropomyosin prevents the interaction between actin and myosin in resting muscles. In the event of excitation, there is release of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum wherein the troponin will bind this calcium and will release tropomyosin and expose myosin enabling it to attach to actin and therefore facilitating muscle contraction.</span>

Answering the question, the association between tropomyosin and troponin molecules in resting striated muscle fibers is such that troponin holds the tropomyosin in place on the actin.

The actin protein is the main part of thin filament but there are two other components which are tropomyosin and troponin.

<h2>Further Explanation</h2>

However, the actin protein consists of binding sites that can hold myosin, that is, the actin has binding sites that where myosin can be attached. When the muscles are at rest, the Tropomyocin blocks the interactions between actin and myosin which prevent the cross-bridging formation as well as a contraction in muscles.

However, the troponin is made up of three globular subunits. One of the subunits connects with tropomyosin while the other two binds with actin and ca 2+ ions respectively.

Also, to allow a muscle contraction, there must a change in the way the tropomyosin reacts, the change of formation is necessary to enable cross bridge-formation.

Muscle contractions also required the presence of calcium and it must also be at a very low concentration within the sarcoplasm.

The presence of calcium would make it possible for calcium ions to joins with tropomyosin and muscle contraction can then take place.

Explain why mutation and natural selection make developing new flu vaccines every year necessary
Serhud [2]
Let's just say that everyvyear, many people either get the vaccination, or the flu. These people are left immune to the strain of flu that they were vaccinated/infected with so the number of people who can get and pass on that form of flu (think of these people as that flu strain's "habitat") is reduced. If some of that flu mutates sufficiently that the immune systems of those previously infected vaccinated people no longer recognize it, then it's habitat is expanded back to the original size again.

Hope this helped :)
