  1. AActin and Myosin
  2. BActin and Tropomyosin
  3. CMyosin and Troponin
  4. DNone of the above

BPSC BAO 2024

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (a) Actin and Myosin

Explanation

The contractile proteins of muscle are actin (thin filaments) and myosin (thick filaments).

When a muscle contracts, the actin filaments slide over the myosin filaments. Tropomyosin and troponin are regulatory proteins that control this.
