Question 50 Skeletal muscles are multinucleate because A he fibers grew so fast they engulfed an cells in their way B when neighboring cells undergo apoptosis, cells that remain absorb their nuclei before they degenerate C the original nucleus reproduced as the cell grew D All of these answers are correct E the fibers formed from the fusion of many smaller cells during embryonic development 1 Point

During development embryonic cells will fuse to form muscle fibers. This will result in ________. a. the striations that appear in skeletal and cardiac muscle tissues b. the coordination of nerve signals to muscle fibers c. multinucleated muscle fibers that can extend as long as 30 centimeters d. interlocking of cells that can prevent the filaments from sliding
