Troponin is a complex of three types of regulatory proteins that regulate the contraction of cardiac and skeletal muscles.
Tropomyosin is a double stranded coiled protein found in muscles. Troponin remains attached with tropomyosin inside the muscles.

Q. Read the following statements:

(a) Each thin filament is made of two F-actins.

(b) Each G-actin is polymer of F-actins.

(c) Two filaments of tropomyosin run close to the F-actins throughout it's length.

Choose the correct statement(s).

Q. Assertion: Calcium ions play a crucial role in muscle contraction.
Reason: Calcium ions bind troponin causing the displacement of tropomyosin, allowing the myosin head to bind actin.
