1. Which of the following is true about muscle protein?
A. In a contracting muscle cell, troponin binds to calcium, and tropomyosin changes conformation and uncovers the myosin binding sites on actin
B. In a relaxed muscle cell, tropomyosin binds to calcium, and troponin covers the myosin binding sites on actin
C. In a contracting muscle cell, tropomyosin binds to calcium, and troponin changes conformation and uncovers the myosin binding sites on actin.
D. In a relaxed muscle cell, troponin binds to calcium, and tropomyosin covers the myosin binding sites on actin
2.
Which of the following represents the CORRECT order of events in the muscle cell when I decide that I want to wiggle my pinkie toe?
A. The influx of positive charge causes the opening of ligand-gated sodium channels causing an action potential that propagates down the sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane which causes the release of calcium from the T-tubules.
B. The influx of positive charge causes the opening of voltage-gated sodium channels causing an action potential that propagates down the T-tubule leading to the release of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum
C. The influx of positive charge causes the opening of ligand-gated sodium channels causing an action potential that propagates down the T-tubule leading to the release of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum
D. The influx of positive charge causes the opening of voltage-gated sodium channels causing an action potential that propagates down the sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane which causes the release of calcium from the T-tubules.

What assumptions do the authors make, based on the blog post? Do the authors deal with these assumptions?
His first winter at the University of Mississippi Field Station, Matt Pintar was wading through some ponds where he noticed a large number of egg masses. Clear jelly surrounded most of these egg masses, but a whitish jelly encased some of them. These egg masses were produced by the spotted salamander, Abystoma maculatum, which immediately made Pintar wonder why these differences exist within this species. Biologists use the term “polymorphism” to describe a situation like this, in which two or more forms (poly = multiple, morph = form) exist within a population.
Could it simply be random chance that there were two egg mass morphs? Or was one morph better than the other in getting fertilized by the appropriate sperm, or in keeping the eggs together? Alternatively, perhaps one morph was better at providing nutrients or protecting against predators. The puzzle is that if one morph was superior to the other, then that morph would be favored by natural selection, should outcompete the other, and ultimately cause the second morph to go extinct. So why did both morphs persist in this population of spotted salamanders?In: Biology

many chemotherapy drugs used to treat cancer work by modifying the mitotic spindle. Paclitaxel works by interfering with normal microtubule breakdown during cell division and Vinblastine works by binding tubular, thereby inhibiting the assembly of microtubules. How specifically do you think these drugs would stop cancer cell? What consequences might taking these drugs have for a cancer patient?
