Which of the following statements about muscle contraction is correct?

Myosin heads form cross-bridges with actin filaments during muscle contraction​. This follows from NCERT principle where relation explains outcome clearly for students.

Ref: NCERT Biology Textbook for Class XI and XII (Zoology section), Chapter: Biology - Zoology portion covering relevant system and function, Topic: Structural organization and physiology.

Which process involves the fusion of isolated protoplasts to form hybrid lls?

Somatic hybridization involves the fusion of isolated protoplasts from different plant species to form hybrid lls. This follows from NCERT principle where relation explains outcome clearly for students.

Which of the following statements about neurotransmitters is incorrect?

Neurotransmitters can be either excitatory (e.g., glutamate) or inhibitory (e.g., GABA), depending on their function. This follows from NCERT principle where relation explains outcome clearly for students.
