The correct Answer is:
To determine which statements about the molecular arrangement of actin and myosin in myofibrils are incorrect, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement (i)**: "Each actin (thin filament) is made of 2F (filamentous) actins." - **Analysis**: This statement is correct. The thin filament (actin) is indeed composed of two strands of filamentous actin (F-actin) twisted together. 2. **Statement (ii)**: "F-actin is the polymer of G (globular) actin." - **Analysis**: This statement is also correct. F-actin (filamentous actin) is formed by the polymerization of G-actin (globular actin) monomers. 3. **Statement (iii)**: "2F-actins are twisted into a helix." - **Analysis**: This statement is correct. The two strands of F-actin are indeed twisted into a helical structure. 4. **Statement (iv)**: "Two strands of tropomyosin (protein) lie in the grooves of F-actin." - **Analysis**: This statement is correct. Tropomyosin proteins run along the grooves of the F-actin filament. 5. **Statement (v)**: "Troponin molecules (complex proteins) are distributed at regular intervals on the tropomyosin." - **Analysis**: This statement is correct. Troponin complexes are indeed spaced at regular intervals along the tropomyosin. 6. **Statement (vi)**: "Troponin forms the head of the myosin molecule." - **Analysis**: This statement is incorrect. Troponin does not form the head of the myosin molecule; instead, it is a separate complex that interacts with tropomyosin and actin. The myosin head is part of the myosin protein itself. 7. **Statement (vii)**: "The myosin is a polymerized protein." - **Analysis**: This statement is correct. Myosin is indeed a polymerized protein, consisting of multiple myosin molecules. ### Conclusion: The only incorrect statement is **(vi)**: "Troponin forms the head of the myosin molecule." Therefore, the answer is that statement (vi) is incorrect. ### Final Answer: The incorrect statement is (vi).

To determine which statements about the molecular arrangement of actin and myosin in myofibrils are incorrect, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement (i)**: "Each actin (thin filament) is made of 2F (filamentous) actins." - **Analysis**: This statement is correct.
