To answer the question regarding which area or band in a muscle contains both actin and myosin filaments, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Muscle Structure**: Muscles are made up of myofibrils, which in turn are composed of sarcomeres. Sarcomeres are the basic functional units of muscle contraction. 2. **Identify the Bands**: Within a sarcomere, there are two main types of bands: the A-band and the I-band. - **I-band**: This band contains only actin filaments and is isotropic, meaning it appears the same in all directions. ...
