Introduction:
There are three different types of muscle in the body, the cardiac, skeletal, and the smooth muscles. The muscles help in the movement of different body parts. They protect delicate organs from various injuries and provide shape to the body. The skeletal muscles particularly help in the movement of organs. There are 600 skeletal muscles in our body.

Answer to Problem 1TYK
Correct answer:
One body part rotates with respect to another body part.
Explanation of Solution
Justification/explanation for the correct answer:
Option (c) states that one part of the body may rotate with respect to another part. The skeletal muscles are attached to the bones from both sides of the muscles. Contraction in one muscle helps in the movement of different body parts. This depends on the point of attachment of the muscle. Hence, option (c) is correct.
Explanation for the incorrect answer:
Option (a) states that skeletal muscles are attached to bones with the help of ligaments. This statement is incorrect because skeletal muscles are attached to the bones with the help of cords of connective tissue known as tendons. So, it incorrect.
Option (b) states that bending of the vertebrate muscles do not extend the body parts. The extension of the body parts depends on the point of attachment of the vertebrate muscles to the bones by the tendons, so it extends the body parts according to the point of attachment. So, it incorrect.
Option (d) states that skeletal muscles are present in the walls of blood vessels and intestines. The smooth muscles are present in the walls of blood vessels, body cavities, and intestines. The skeletal muscle is stiff so it is not present in cavities or walls of blood vessels. So, it incorrect.
Option (e) states that cells of the skeletal muscles do not contain nuclei. This statement is incorrect because the nuclei are present in the cells of the skeletal muscles. It is also controlled by the somatic nervous system of our body so the nuclei must be present as it plays an important role in a cell. So, it incorrect.
Hence, options (a), (c), (d), and (e) are incorrect.
The skeletal muscles of our body are connected by tendons to different bones. The skeletal muscles help in the movement our body parts such as eyeballs, legs, hands, and so on. The movement of one body part may rotate another body part, depending upon the point of attachment of the muscle.

- Molecular Biology A-C components of the question are corresponding to attached image labeled 1. D component of the question is corresponding to attached image labeled 2. For a eukaryotic mRNA, the sequences is as follows where AUGrepresents the start codon, the yellow is the Kozak sequence and (XXX) just represents any codonfor an amino acid (no stop codons here). G-cap and polyA tail are not shown A. How long is the peptide produced?B. What is the function (a sentence) of the UAA highlighted in blue?C. If the sequence highlighted in blue were changed from UAA to UAG, how would that affecttranslation? D. (1) The sequence highlighted in yellow above is moved to a new position indicated below. Howwould that affect translation? (2) How long would be the protein produced from this new mRNA? Thank youarrow_forwardMolecular Biology Question Explain why the cell doesn’t need 61 tRNAs (one for each codon). Please help. Thank youarrow_forwardMolecular Biology You discover a disease causing mutation (indicated by the arrow) that alters splicing of its mRNA. This mutation (a base substitution in the splicing sequence) eliminates a 3’ splice site resulting in the inclusion of the second intron (I2) in the final mRNA. We are going to pretend that this intron is short having only 15 nucleotides (most introns are much longer so this is just to make things simple) with the following sequence shown below in bold. The ( ) indicate the reading frames in the exons; the included intron 2 sequences are in bold. A. Would you expected this change to be harmful? ExplainB.
