Solution
The correct option is A Myosin
- Skeletal muscle fiber is made up of two types of filaments. They are thick filament and thin filament.
- Thick filament is made up of a protein called Myosin. Actin
filaments are thinner as compared to the myosin filaments, hence are
commonly called thin and thick filaments respectively
- Each myosin (thick filament) is made up of Many monomeric proteins called Meromyosins.
- Hence the thick myofilament from the given contractile proteins is myosin.
- So.the correct answer is 'Myosin'.
