During muscular contraction, which of the following events do not occur?
a. ‘H’ zone decreases in length and disappears on full relaxation
b. A band remains unchanged
c. I band gets reduced in length due to decrease in length of actin filaments
d. Myosin hydrolyses ATP, releasing ADP and P1
e. Z- lines move away from each other
Choose the correct answer from the options given below.
1. (a), (b), (c) and (d)
2. (a), (b), (d) and (e)
3. (a), (c) and (e)
4. (b) and (d)

Consider the following statements with respect to mechanism of muscle contraction
(a) Binding of calcium with the subunit of tropomyosin removes the masking of active sites for myosin
(b) Z-lines move towards the centre of ‘H’ zone
(c) Cross bridge is formed by utilising the energy from hydrolysis of ATP
(d) H-zone disappears when a muscle fibre is maximally contracted

Select the option with the correct statement
1. a and c only
2. b and d only
3. a, c and d
4. b, c and d

Assertion (A) The mechanism of muscle contraction can be explained by sliding-filament theory.
Reason (R): Muscular contraction occurs by the sliding of thick filaments over the thin filaments.
1. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is true but (R) is false.
4. Both (A) and (R) are false

Assertion (A): Sliding filament theory can be best explained as actin and filaments do not shorten but rather slide pass each other.
Reason (R): Sliding filament theory was introduced b Andrew Huxley, Rolf Niedergerke, Hugh Huxley and Jean Hanson.
1. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is true but (R) is false.
4. Both (A) and (R) are false
