Answer:

The storage of calcium ions. (Ans. A)

Explanation:

T-tubule are the extension part of the cell membrane (which contains a large number of transporters, pumps & ion channels) which penetrate the central skeletal & cardiac muscle cell.

The primary function of the transverse tubule (T-tubule) is to storage and providing calcium ions for muscles contraction. T-tubule allows rapid movement of the action potential, & play a very important role in releasing cellular calcium concentration. Through this process, transverse tubule allows heart muscle cell contract forcefully by calcium (synchronizing) release from the cell.

lord [1]

Answer:

C) Through genomic imprinting, methylation regulates expression of the paternal copy of the gene in the brain.

Explanation:

The pattern of gene expression wherein either paternal or maternal gene is expressed in specific cells while the other one is prevented from expression is known as genomic imprinting.

In the given example, the maternal copy of the gene on chromosome 15 is expressed in brain cells while its paternal copy is not expressed in these cells. Hence, the pattern of expression of this gene is regulated through genome imprinting. One of the mechanism is methylation of cytidine residues of CpG islands of the DNA that are more frequently present within promoters of the genes.

When the cytidine residues of these sequences are methylated into 5-methylcytidine, the transcription factors do not bind to these promoters preventing the expression of these genes.

Hence, methylation of cytidine residue in CpG islands of the promoters of the gene present on chromosome 15 could have silenced its expression in brain cells.

A zoologist finds a mysterious worm-like animal, and is trying to identify it. What characteristic would he need to find in the
alukav5142 [94]

to classify it as a protostome, zoologist must see for the mouth development in the embryo.

Explanation:

The protostome are the animals which are unique to their three germ layer in embryonic development, with the bilateral symmetry as they have the ability to fly with other protostome developments.

the one characteristic feature to distinguish them as the protostome, mouth part development is to be sought as the mouth develops but not the anus in the embryo. the mouth parts serves unique to the group and their feeding structures.
