Assertion: In muscle contraction, length of both A – bands and I – bands decrease
Reason: Both myosin of A – bands and actin of I – bands are contractile proteins and decrease in size during muscle contraction
Reason: Both myosin of A – bands and actin of I – bands are contractile proteins and decrease in size during muscle contraction
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
A and R are incorrect
Option B (b and c) is correct because statement b is incorrect as calcium binding to troponin unmasks the myosin binding site, and statement c is incorrect as A-bands remain constant during sarcomere shortening.
