Answer:

How Mutations Can Lead to Human Evolution?

Explanation:

A mutation is the random change in the nucleotide sequence or in the DNA organization (genotype) of a living being, [1] that produces a variation in its characteristics and that is not necessarily transmitted to the offspring. It occurs spontaneously and suddenly or due to the action of mutagens. This change will be present in a small proportion of the population (variant) or the organism (mutation). The genetic unit capable of mutating is the gene, the unit of hereditary information that is part of DNA.

In multicellular beings, mutations can only be inherited when they affect reproductive cells. A consequence of mutations can be, for example, a genetic disease. However, although they may seem harmful in the short term, mutations are essential to our long-term existence. Without mutation there would be no change, and without change life could not evolve.

In response to action potentials arriving fiom the transverse tubules, the surcoplasmic reticulum releases
sveta [45]

Answer:

D. Calcium ions.

Explanation:

Here we are talking about the mechanism of muscle contraction. The most accepted theory of muscle contraction is sliding filament theory. It was given by Huxley and Huxley. During the process actin filaments slides over myosin filament by forming cross bridges. The sequence of events are as follows:

a. An action potential propagates through the motor nerve and reach the nerve endings on the muscle fiber at neuro-muscular junction.

b. Neurotransmitter called acetylcholine is released by the nerve endings.

c. Acetylcholine binds to the receptors on muscle fiber and opens the gated channels which causes flow of Na+ ions into the muscle fiber.

d. This influx of sodium ions initiates an action potential in the muscle fiber which reaches the T- tubules or transverse tubules. Here it causes the sarcoplasmic reticulum to release large amounts of calcium ion.

e. Calcium ions are responsible for initiating the attractive forces between actin and myosin filaments. Cross bridges are formed, actin slides over myosin causing the contraction of muscle.
