Answer:

Stabilizing selection

Explanation:

Stabilizing selection refers to the process of natural selection that decreases genetic diversity. It tends to stabilize the intermediate trait and do not support the extreme phenotypes. In the given graph, the number of penguins having intermediate height has increased in total population. Since intermediate height is favored over other values, it represents stabilizing selection.

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

<em><u>Stabilizing selection</u></em> is the most appropriate

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>Stabilizing selection </u></em>is an example of natural selection or among the ways in which natural selection can have an effect in the variation of a population.
  • <em><u>Stabilizing selection</u></em> would result to a decline in the genetic variance of a given population when natural selection tends to favor a certain phenotype against other variations that are extreme.
  • For instance in the case of<em><u> penguins,natural selection may favor those individuals that adapt well in the ocean and are less likely to be noted by predators</u></em>. These are those penguins<em><u> with distinct black and white coloring that blend in with the darkness of the ocean</u></em>, thus they will survive and reproduce and pass these trait to their offspring. On the other hand those penguins without these characteristics may die as a result of predation by their enemies.

<span>Homans' sign is an assessment test used to determine whether the patient has VTE. Presence of Homans' sign indicates that the patient may have VTE. Uterine atony can be assessed by palpating the uterine fundus. Hypotensive shock can be assessed by checking the patient's vitals. Mastitis can be assessed by the examining the patient's breasts.</span>

Using the sliding flament theory, explain (or draw) the process of sarcomere shortening. Start from the point where calcium woul
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

  1. Calcium binds to troponin C
  2. Troponin T moves tropomyosin and unblocks the binding sites
  3. Myosin heads join to the actin forming cross-bridges
  4. ATP turns into ADP and inorganic phosphate and releases energy
  5. The energy is used to impulse myofilaments slide producing a power stroke
  6. ADP is released and a new ATP joins the myosin heads and breaks the bindings to the actin filament
  7. ATP splits into ADP and phosphate, and the energy produced is accumulated in the myosin heads, starting a new cycle
  8. Z-bands are pulled toward each other, shortening the sarcomere and the I-band, producing muscle fiber contraction.

Explanation:  

In rest, the tropomyosin inhibits the attraction strengths between myosin and actin filaments. Contraction initiates when an action potential depolarizes the inner portion of the muscle fiber. Calcium channels activate in the T tubules membrane, releasing <u>calcium into the sarcolemma.</u> At this point, tropomyosin is obstructing binding sites for myosin on the thin filament. When calcium binds to troponin C, troponin T alters the tropomyosin position by moving it and unblocking the binding sites. Myosin heads join to the uncovered actin-binding points forming cross-bridges, and while doing so, ATP turns into ADP and inorganic phosphate, which is released. Myofilaments slide impulsed by chemical energy collected in myosin heads, producing a power stroke. The power stroke initiates when the myosin cross-bridge binds to actin. As they slide, ADP molecules are released. A new ATP links to myosin heads and breaks the bindings to the actin filament.  Then ATP splits into ADP and phosphate, and the energy produced is accumulated in the myosin heads, which starts a new binding cycle to actin. Finally, Z-bands are pulled toward each other, shortening the sarcomere and the I-band, producing muscle fiber contraction.
