Chapter 9, Problem 1CRQ
Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether the statement “An increase in sarcomere length reduces the tension produced in a muscle fiber by reducing the size of the zone of overlap and the number of potential cross-bridge interactions.” is true or false.

Introduction: Muscles are the connective tissues that are widely spread throughout the body and help to provide movement and flexibility to the body. The muscles are divided into cardiac, skeletal, and visceral muscles.

Answer to Problem 1CRQ

Correct answer: True.

Explanation of Solution

Sarcomeres produce tension efficiently inside the optimal range of lengths. When the resting sarcomere length is in the range, the maximum number of cross-bridges can be formed. This produces great tension. An increase in the length of the sarcomere reduces the tension that is caused by the decrease in the size of the zone of overlap and the number of potential cross-bridge interactions.

An increase in the sarcomere length lessens the tension produced by decreasing the size of the zone of overlap and also the number of potential cross-bridge interactions. Hence, The given statement “An increase in sarcomere length reduces the tension produced in a muscle fiber by reducing the size of the zone of overlap and the number of potential cross-bridge interactions.” is true.

Three of the many recessive mutations in Drosophila melanogaster that affect body color, wing shape, or bristle morphology are black (b) body versus grey in wild type, dumpy (dp), obliquely truncated wings versus long wings in the male, and hooked (hk) bristles versus not hooked in the wild type.  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.

Genes at loci f, m, and w are linked, but their order is unknown.  The F1 heterozygotes from a cross of FFMMWW x ffmmww are test crossed.  The most frequent phenotypes in the test cross progeny will be FMW and fmw regardless of what the gene order turns out to be.  What classes of testcross progeny (phenotypes) would be least frequent if locus m is in the middle? What classes would be least frequent if locus f is in the middle? What classes would be least frequent if locus w is in the middle?
