Cheetahs are not a healthy species. Several million years ago they were widespread in Africa and Asia, but their numbers fell drastically during the last ice age and again when they were hunted to near extinction in the nineteenth century. Now, they suffer from low survivorship (a large number of animals dying), poor sperm quality, and greater susceptibility to disease. Normally, an animal will reject tissue transplanted from another animal, but cheetahs will not reject tissue grafted on to them from another cheetah. What happened to the cheetah? How did their genetic variation change? Where does genetic variation ultimately come from? What mechanism can maintain and increase genetic variation in natural populations

i think the answer is g1

hope i

idk im sorry.

the answer is: the „power stroke“ step.

muscle contraction can be divided into a few steps:

1. the release of ach (acetylcholine) in the synaptic cleft, binding of ach for its receptor and consequently opening of the ca channels.

2. the release of ca, binding of ca for the troponin

3. troponin shifting the tropomyosin, which was blocking the active site on the actin

4. myosin heads attaching to actin by breaking down atp to adp+ pi

5.   formation of the ‘cross-bridge’ on the active site of the actin filament by myosin head

6. “power stroke” -the cross bridge pulls actin, which slides over the myosin

9.     7. the release of adp completes the cross-bridge movement and atp attaches to myosin, breaking the actin-myosin cross bridge.
