Question
each thin filament consists of:
a a double strand of myosin molecules
b a rod - shaped structure with \heads\ projecting from each end
c chains of myosin molecules
d six molecules coiled into a helical structure
e two actin protein strands coiled helically around each other
Thin filaments in muscle fibers are mainly composed of two actin protein strands that are coiled helically around each other. Myosin is part of thick filaments (so options A, C are wrong). Option B describes myosin structure more. Option D is not the correct composition description for thin filaments.
