Choose odd one w.r.t. properties of non-striated muscle fibres.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

Myofibrils show alternate light and dark bands

Option A (Myofibrils show alternate light and dark bands) is the odd one out because non-striated muscle fibers (smooth muscles) do not have the striated appearance due to the arrangement of actin and myosin.

Understanding +4 | -1

Which one of the following bones are similar in number :

(a) Carpals of both fore limb

(b) Tarsals of both hind limb

(c) Cervical vertebrae

(d) True ribs

(e) Phalanges of both fore limb

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

Assertion: The phase of muscle contraction occurs when myosin binds and releases actin.
Reason: Muscle contraction is initiated by a signal sent by the peripheral nervous system via motor neuron.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.

Option C is correct because the assertion is correct: muscle contraction occurs when myosin binds and releases actin. However, the reason is incorrect: muscle contraction is initiated by a signal from the *central* nervous system, not the peripheral nervous system.

209 of 222

Analyzing +4 | -1

Assertion (A): The joint between carpal and metacarpal of thumb in humans allows movement in many directions.
Reason (R): Gliding joint is present between carpals.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

Assertion (A) is false but Reason (R) is true

Option A is correct because the joint between the carpal and metacarpal of the thumb allows movement in many directions due to it being a saddle joint, not a gliding joint, but the reason that gliding joints are present between carpals is true.
