Metastatic melanoma ( if i’m not wrong )
cancer that begins in the skin cells, which spreads to other parts of the body ( in this case liver and brain)
Answer: The correct option is C.
Cloning vectors.
Explanation:
Viruses are use as cloning vectors because they can give the new gene or birth the new gene by infecting the cell. They are so modified and orogrammed in such a way that they cannot cause disease when it is used in humans. Cloning vector is a DNA fragment gotten from viruses or bacteria plasmid which is maintained and used for cloning purposes.
House Cat: Felis catus
Mountain Lion: Felis concolor
Domestic dog: Canis lupus familiaris
Human: Homo sapiens
Explanation:
- The cat (Felis catus) is a kind of domestic species of small carnivorous mammal. It is the only domestic species in the family Felidae and is often referred to as the domestic cat to get varied from the wild members of the family.
- The mountain lion's scientific name is Puma concolor,
- The domestic dog is a member of the family with genus Canis (canines), which forms a basic part of the wolf-like canids, and is the most widely abundant terrestrial carnivore.
- Humans belong to a family called Homo sapiens.
Answer:
The correct answer is: D) the pivoting of the myosin head, which causes actin and myosin to slide relative to each other.
Explanation:
<u>Muscle contraction</u><u> occurs when the sarcomere is shortened.</u> The sarcomere is a structure composed of filaments: the thick ones are composed of myosin, and the thin ones are composed of actin. These two proteins interact with one another to make the sarcomere shorten and produce the contraction of the muscle.
Muscle, in its natural state, is not contracted. This is because <u>the binding sites on actin for the myosin heads are covered</u> by the proteins troponin and tropomyosin.
When the signal for muscle contraction arrives at the muscle, calcium ions are released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum and reach the sarcomere to reconfigure the complex formed by troponin and tropomyosin so <u>the binding site on the actin filament becomes exposed and the myosin head can attach to it.</u>
When an ATP molecule appears and binds to the myosin head, the latter separates from the actin-binding site and moves toward the next actin-binding site with the energy provided by the hydrolysis of this ATP molecule. This is what is called power stroke.
This keeps on happening until muscle contraction is no longer needed and calcium ions are reabsorbed, which will make troponin and tropomyosin cover the actin-binding sites once again.
