Which pathway regulates the contraction of vertebrate smooth muscle? 

#Unit 2. Cellular Organization
  1. When the Ca2+ level rises → Ca2+ binds CaM→ MLC kinase becomes inactive → dephosphorylates the myosin LC → unfolds the myosin II→ assemble into bipolar filaments for contraction. 
  2. When the Ca2+ level rises→Ca2+ binds CaM→activates MLC kinase→ phosphorylates the myosin LC→unfolds the myosin II → assemble into bipolar filaments for contraction. 
  3. When the Ca2+  returns to its resting level → Ca2+ binds CaM → activates MLC kinase→ phosphorylates the myosin LC → unfolds the myosin II→ causing muscle contraction.
  4. When the Ca2+ level rises→ Ca2+ binds CaM→ activates MLC kinase → phosphorylates the myosin LC → myosin adopts a folded conformation→ assemble into bipolar filaments for contraction.

#Unit 13. Methods in Biology

With the help of DNA fingerprinting which can be used to determine paternity. There are three babies (Baby A, Baby B and Baby C) in a maternity ward, and three sets of confused and worried parents. (Father and Mother #1 are a couple, as are Father and Mother #2, and Father and Mother #3.) 
You do each PCR reaction on chromosome 15 and load each one into a separate well of an agarose gel, and then run the gel.
 

 
Match the babies up with their actual parents.
