Human sperm and eggs contain 23 chromosomes. Human zygotes contain 46<span> chromosomes. The type of cell division that produces gametes with half the normal chromosome number is called meiosis. It is used to produce cells for repair and asexual reproduction.</span>
The terminal cisternae releases calcium ion
The terminal cisternae act as calcium storage sites. The calcium ions stored in the terminal cisternae are essential in muscle contraction. The calcium release unit of muscle consists of terminal cisternae of the sarcoplasmic reticulum and it is adjacent transverse or T- tubule that is the invaginated part of the surface membrane.
Answer:
Pleiotropy
Explanation:
Marfan syndrome has several signs and symptoms depending on the individual affected.
The main manifestations of the disease are related to the skeletal system, in which the affected individual presents with elongated limbs, elevated height, scoliosis and thoracic deformations; the cardiac system, characterized by mitral valve prolapse (closing of the upper and lower chambers of the left side of the heart) and dilation of the aorta; and the ocular system, characterized by a detachment in the lens of the eye, and myopia.
The ability of genetic defects such as Marfan syndrome to reach such distinct organs is called pleiotropy.
