Answer 2

The Assertion (Skeletal muscles are also known as Striated muscles) and the Reason (Under microscope, skeletal muscles show alternate light and dark bands) are both correct.

Explanation: Skeletal muscles are also called striated muscles because:

• The long, thin, and multinucleated fibres of the Skeletal muscles are crossed with a regular pattern of fine lines of red and white colour
• When skeletal muscles are looked at the microscope, it can be seen that dark and light bands run across the width of these muscles that is the regular pattern of red and white fine lines.
• Therefore, they are known as striated muscles.
• The cardiac muscles also show these light and dark bands, so they are also known as striated muscles.
