Answer:
Isometric contraction
Explanation:
The length of the muscle is changed during contraction only when the muscle tension during contraction can outstand the resistance exerted by the object to be lifted.
During isometric contractions, the muscle tension is not sufficient to exceed the resistance of the object. Hence, there is no change in the length of the muscle. The isometric contraction does not bring about any body movements.
Answer:
Option (e).
Explanation:
Meiosis may be defined as the process of cell division in which a single parent cell divides into four daughter cells. The chromosome number reduces to half in meiosis.
Crossing over is the process of exchange of genetic material between the homologous chromosomes of the non-sister chromatids. Crossing over will bring variation in the gametes. Hence, the absence of crossing over results in the formation of gametes with less genetic variation.
Thus, the correct answer is option (e).
False. A person cannot become a problem drinker by drinking beer.
It is expected to see in the offspring of a woman who has DMD and a man who does not have the disease that all of their sons and none of their daughters will have the disease
Option A.
<h3><u>
Explanation:</u></h3>
Duchene muscular dystrophy, also known as DMD is a recessive, x-linked disease. It occurs when there is a mutation in the dystrophin gene. This mutation further affects the muscles of the body leading it to degenerate and ultimately death.
When a woman with DMD and a man without DMD have an offspring, their daughters and the sons will get the mutated gene signature from the mother as she is the carrier. But since the father has normal genes, the daughters will become the carriers and will not be afflicted by it. This is because the normal X chromosome from the father will be passed on to them. The sons on the other hand will have the disease as they will get one of their mother's X chromosome which would be carrying the mutated gene.
