Answer:

The cardiac muscle is made up of branched muscle cells, which have 1 or 2 nuclei and which the contact area between the heart fibers gives rise to specialized regions at the level of the plasma membrane called intercalary discs. The intercalary discs unite the cardiac muscle cells with each other, which provides greater adhesion to the tissue and intervenes in the rapid communication between cells. This allows its simultaneous contraction and the production of the beat.

Explanation:

The intercalary discs are the union systems that associate the cardiac muscle cells to form the myocardial fibers, the cardiac muscle is the muscle tissue of mixed components, which is located exclusively in the walls of the heart. For this reason, it has the function of generating the necessary contractions for the blood to reach all parts of the body.The intercalary discs are a special type of intercellular junction, a gap that guarantees electrical communication between these cells; and on the other hand, it provides places of adhesion and anchorage of one cell with another. The intercalary discs provide the structural foundation that allows the heart to behave as a functional syncytium.

The process of converting food molecules into ATP for cellular energy is carried out in the organelle called the mitochondria.
Snowcat [4.5K]
True

Because the energy to drive ATP synthesis in mitochondria ultimately derives from the oxidative breakdown of food molecules, the phosphorylation of ADP to form ATP that is driven by electron transport in the mitochondrion

Movement of chromosome segment to a non-homologous chromosome. This type of chromosomal mutation occurs when one chromosome swap
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

The correct answer is ''Translocation​.''  

Explanation:

Translocation is a chromosomal abnormality that is due to a change in position of a chromosomal segment to another non-homologous chromosome of the same nucleus or to another part of it. It is produced by the exchange of segments between two chromosomes without loss of genetic material is called reciprocal or balanced translocation, when it gives rise to monocentric chromosomes.Translocations can be detected cytologically because the structural heterozygote forms a quadrivalent (4-chromosome association) in meiotic prophase. Sometimes they can also be detected by changes in the size of the chromosomes if the exchanged segments are of different lengths.
