The number of correct statements from the statements given below will be:
I: The striated appearance of skeletal muscle myofibril is due to the distribution pattern of two important proteins – Actin and Myosin.
II: The light band contains actin and is called as I-band or Isotropic band.
III: Actin and myosin in a myofibril are arranged as rod-like structures, parallel to each other and also to the longitudinal axis of the myofibrils.
IV: Actin filaments are thinner as compared to the myosin filaments.

Consider the given two statements:
Statement I: The portion of the myofibril between two successive ‘Z’ lines is considered as the functional unit of contraction and is called a sarcomere.

Statement III: The central part of thick filament, not overlapped by thin filaments is called the ‘H’ zone.
