Cytological examination of resting and contracted muscle provides important support for the sliding filaments model for how skel
Firlakuza [10]

The correct answer is that the H zone becomes narrower.

The H-band refers to the region of the thick filaments, which is not overlaid by the actin (thin filaments). Within the H-zone is a thin M-line, which is formed of cross-connecting components of the cytoskeleton.

At the time of muscle contraction, the A-bands do not vary in their length, whereas the H-zone and the I-bands shorten. This makes the Z-lines come near to each other.

Answer:

0.995

Explanation:

Given,

The selection coefficient as 0.005

The question pinpoints recessive homozygotes were selected against, the relative fitness

Fitness is in relation to the level of relative survival

The recessive homozygote being selected against, we use W = 1 - s

The formulae of interest

when recessive homozygotes were selected against, the relative fitness

   W   = 1 - s

       = 1- 0.005

       = 0.995 (3 decimal places).
