Cross bridge formation between myosin heads and actin molecules is caused by the elevation of calcium ion concentration in the c

During rigor mortis, this elevation of calcium ion concentration in the cytosol is permanent because ________.mitochondria stop producing ATP molecules required by the sarcoplasmic reticulum's calcium ion pumpstroponin molecules bind irreversibly to calcium ions to prevent them from being removed from the cytosoltropomyosin molecules bind irreversibly to calcium ions to prevent them from being removed from the cytosolacetylcholine continues to stimulate the release of calcium ions from the sarcoplasmic reticulum

Answer:

by the sarcoplasmic reticulum's calcium ion pumps

Explanation:

Rigor mortis or postmortem rigidity, is a state caused by chemical changes in the muscles that occur post mortem and  cause the limbs of the corpse to stiffen.

This occurs because after death, there is no cellular respiration and consequently, no oxygen nor ATP (ATP is required for the muscle relaxation).

Calcium enters the cytosol after death because it is released due to the deterioration of the sarcoplasmic reticulum and due to the breakdown of the sarcolemma. Ca2+ ions activate the formation of actin-myosin cross-bridging necessary for the contraction. Muscles are unable to relax, because myosin heads continue to bind with the active sites of actin and there is no ATP to destabilize the myosin-actin bond.

The human metallothionein IIA gene (hMTIIA) is transcriptionally regulated through the interplay of regulatory elements and tran
forsale [732]

Answer:

The correct answer is - regulation of the heavy metal and their toxicity.

Explanation:

Metallothionein is a group of cysteine-rich, small in size, and highly conserved proteins that bind to various metal ions and regulate their activity or toxicity in transcriptional level.

Metallothionein IIA is one of the metallothioneins that binds to heavy metal and helps cells to be protected from the toxicity of these heavy metals. These proteins are present in almost every eukaryotic organisms virtually. These proteins are highly induced to express highly in the present of heavy metals.

Thus, the correct answer is - regulation of the heavy metal and their toxicity.

An analysis of chromosomes in a culture containing mutated cells may show the loss of one or more bases making up the chromosome
ankoles [38]

The answer is; deletion mutation


This type of mutation mostly causes a phenomenon called frameshift mutation whereby the 3-codon sequence reading frame is shifted causing the amino acids translated, downstream of the deletion site, to be altered. This can gravely affect the function of the translated proteins and result in genetic disease.
