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.

Which of the following is NOT a feature of cardiac muscle fibers?

Andreyy89

Answer:

(1)They are usually multi-nucleated.

Explanation:

Cardiac muscles are one of the three muscles found in the human body (the other two being skeletal and smooth muscles). It is the only type of muscle found in the heart. Cardiac muscle cells have a single nucleus unlike the skeletal muscle cells.

They possess many large mitochondria in their cell, which enable them actively carry out the process of aerobic respiration. The cardiac muscles contains an enormous amount of myoglobin pigment, which enable them store and transport oxygen. Due to the high glucose in its cell, excess glucose is readily stored as Glycogen, making it rich in glucose.

Based on the explanation, being MULTI-NUCLEATED is not a feature of cardiac muscle fibers.
