Quantitative data because quantitative uses numbers.
A karyotype is the number and appearance of chromosomes in the nucleus of an eukaryotic cell. Karyotypes also describe the chromosomes count of an organism and the appearance of these chromosomes under the microscope. Cell which lack cell cycle control are often cancerous cells and they look different under the microscope compared to the normal cells. Cancerous cells will look different under the microscope in term of number of chromosomes, size, length, positioning and general appearance.
1. Reduces the chromosome number from diploid to haploid
2. Ensures that each of the 4 gametes has a complete set of chromosomes
Answer:
The correct answer is 3: "<em>High levels of Ca2+ are expected to be found </em><em>within the sarcoplasmic reticulum</em>".
Explanation:
Muscular contraction is a highly regulated process that depends on free calcium concentration in the cytoplasm. Amounts of cytoplasmic calcium are regulated by <u>sarcoplasmic reticulum</u> that functions as a storage of the ion.
When a nerve impulse reaches the membrane of a muscle fiber, through acetylcholine release, the membrane depolarizes producing the entrance of calcium from <u>extracellular space</u>. The impulse is transmitted along the membrane to the sarcoplasmic reticulum, from where calcium is released. At this point, <em>tropomyosin is obstructing binding sites for myosin on the thin filament</em>. The calcium channel in the sarcoplasmic reticulum controls the ion release, that activates and regulates muscle contraction, by increasing its cytoplasmic levels. When <em>calcium binds to the troponin C</em>, <em>the troponin T alters the tropomyosin by moving it and then unblocks the binding sites,</em> making possible the formation of <em>cross-bridges between actin and myosin filaments.</em> When myosin binds to the uncovered actin-binding sites, ATP is transformed into ADP and inorganic phosphate.
Z-bands are then pulled toward each other, thus shortening the sarcomere and the I-band, and producing muscle fiber contraction.
