Question
Chapter 29.7, Problem 1MC
Summary Introduction
To summarize:
The hypothesized or proposed relationship between the mutation in myosin protein gene and brain size in humans and other primates.
Concept introduction:
In humans the movement is brought about by the coordination of skeletal bones and the muscles. Muscle contains fibrous proteins like actin and myosin protein and some other proteins. The contraction and relaxation of these proteins bring about a movement in the muscles and thereby in the entire body.
