Assertion (A): | Shortening of myofilaments leads to the shortening of the muscle. |
Reason (R): | Only the actin myofilaments shorten while the length of the myosin myofilaments remains the same during the muscle shortening. |

Classification of joints is done on the basis of:
I: | the connective tissue that binds the bones together |
II: | the degree of motion at each joint |
III: | the number of bones that articulate with each other |
IV: | the embryonic tissue that formed the joint |
1. | I, II and III | 2. | II and III |
3. | I, II, III and IV | 4. | I and II |
