During development embryonic cells will fuse to form muscle fibers.This will result in ________.
A) the coordination of nerve signals to muscle fibers
B) the striations that appear in skeletal and cardiac muscle tissues
C) multinucleated muscle fibers that can extend as long as 30 centimeters
D) interlocking of cells that can prevent the filaments from sliding

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During development, embryonic cells will fuse to form multinucleated muscle fibers that can extend as long as 30 centimeters. This is characteristic of skeletal muscle tissue. The coordination of nerve signals to muscle fibers (choice A) and the interlocking of cells that can prevent the filaments from sliding (choice D) are not a direct result of muscle cell fusion. The striations that appear in skeletal and cardiac muscle tissues (choice B) are due to the arrangement of the contractile proteins within the cells, not cell fusion.
