Answer:
The action potential is conducted into a skeletal muscle fiber by, transverse tubules.
Answer:
The daughter cells are genetically identical because mitosis is a process that ensures the equal distribution of the replicated genetic material between these cells
Explanation:
During mitosis, the DNA is duplicated during the interphase (S-phase). Subsequently, the replicated chromosomes are arranged in the center of the parent cell (metaphase) to be finally separated and equally distributed between the daughter cells.
Answer:
Directional selection
Explanation:
Directional selection is a type of natural selection that favors one extreme phenotype of a genetic trait due to its survival and reproductive advantage to the individuals over another extreme phenotype and the intermediate phenotype.
In the given example, the thick-leaved plants are better adapted to a drier climate due to reduced water loss. Directional selection favored the plants with thick leaves which in turn produced more progeny. Over the generations, the population evolved into the one having more number of thick-leaved plants.
Answer:
The structural and functional unit of skeletal muscle is called a sacormere
The connective tissue covering around a fascicle is the perimysium
The part of a muscle fiber that contracts is called the myofibril
The connective tissue covering on the outside of a whole muscle is the Epimysium
Explanation:
Chemical (mutagens)
usually either mimic the structure of nucleotides and are inserted in DNA or either cause
chemical changes (such as alkylation) in nucleotides hence causing mismatching during replication.
Radiation, on the other hand, (due to its high energy) causes double-strand breaks in DNA causing an
increased likelihood of mutations during the repair of the DNA by cell
mechanisms.
