Answer:
Homozygous recessive
Explanation:
The parents of the individual displaying the sickle cell anemia (SS) are phenotypically normal parents meaning, both parents are carriers of the (AS) gene which is a recessive trait for sickle cell anemia.
The individual took up the SS allele from both parents which makes him/her homozygous recessive. An individual is said to be homozygous recessive if that individual carries two copies of the same recessive allele.
Homozygous dominant is when an individual carries two copies of the same dominant allele (e.g AA).
Answer:
Explanation:
The molecular and cellular mechanisms and processes that explain muscle contraction in striated muscle occur in the myofibril sarcomere. Their understanding depends on the organization's understanding of the structure of the sarcomere. In an imaginary experiment we first assemble an ideal sarcomere.
Remember that the myofibril is a set of cylindrical compartments that are located next to each other, constituting an elongated cylinder. Each of these cylinders is a sarcomere and borders its neighbor on a line or band called, line or band z.
On each side of the z line, thin cylindrical filaments that are actin filaments are inserted. Each actin filament is formed by a double strand of actin molecules that are rolled over each other. In this organization, actin is called actin F.
