Chapter 12, Problem 36RA
Summary Introduction
To review:
The difference between the organization of actin-myosin filaments in smooth muscles and striated muscles and the advantages of these differences.
Introduction:
The contraction of muscles occurs by the cross-bridge formation between the actin-myosin filaments of the muscles, which result in contraction of muscles by the shortening of sarcomere. The ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and Ca2+ (calcium ions) play a major role in the formation of cross-bridge of actin-myosin filaments.

Absence of thirst is a reliable indication that an individual is adequately hydrated. All of these statements are true. Although a popular way to monitor hydration status, weighing yourself before and after intensive physical activity is not a reliable method to monitor hydration.

From a cross of a dumpy female with a black and hooked male, all of the F1 were wild type for all three of the characters. The testcross of an F1 female with a dumpy, black, hooked male gave the following results: Trait Number of individuals Wild type 169 Black 19 Black, hooked 301 Dumpy, hooked 21 Hooked, dumpy, black 172 Dumpy, black 6 Dumpy 305 Hooked 8 Determine the order of the genes and the mapping distance between genes.
