Answer:

e. bind to troponin which moves the tropomyosin.

Explanation:

Troponin (Tn) is a protein complex composed of three different proteins: troponin C (TnC), troponin I (TnI), and troponin T (TnT). This complex is found both in skeletal muscles and cardiac muscles, where TnC attaches calcium ions through four and three calcium ion-binding sites, respectively. When a muscle is relaxed, Tn attaches to tropomyosin to prevent muscle contraction. During muscle contraction, calcium channels open and cytosolic calcium ions bind to TnC, thereby Tn changes its conformation and moves the tropomyosin. This process relieves the inhibition of the interaction between actin and myosin filaments, which makes muscle contraction possible.

An albino woman marries a phenotypically normal man with no family history of albinism. What percentage of their children are li
maw [93]

Answer:

0%

Explanation:

This involves a single gene coding for melanin pigment in the skin. The recessive form of this gene (allele) is albinism while the dominant form is a normal skin. The question highlights that the normal male parent (dominant) has no family history of albinism, this means that nobody in their family has ever possessed albinism or has been a carrier/heterozygous for the trait. This is because a carrier/heterozygote will always produce the recessive trait (albinism) if crossed with another carrier or albino individual.

In a nutshell, the normal male parent is homozygous for the dominant trait. Hence, if a homozygous dominant male is crossed with an albino woman (homozygous recessive), all their offsprings will possess a heterozygous genotype and dominant phenotype. Meaning that none of their children will ba an albino.

Hence, the percentage of their child being an albino is 0.

1.) It is True that when a cell is put into an isotonic solution, individual water molecules cannot move back and forth across the cell membrane. 
2) It is False that a when a cell is put into a hypertonic solution, there is a net movement of water molecules across the cell membrane into the cell. 
3) It is True that when a cell is out into a hypotonic solution, there is net movement.
4) It is False that the movement of any solvent across a semi-permeable membrane is called osmosis.
