During muscle contraction, when the myosin head releases ADP and iP it:
1. forms cross bridge with actin
2. pulls actin towards M-line
3. goes back to its relaxed state
4. gets detached from the cross bridge

Consider the given two statements regarding the cycle of events taking place during skeletal muscle contraction:
Statement I: The myosin, hydrolysing ATP into ADP and Pi goes back to its relaxed state.
Statement II: Cross bridge is broken when myosin releases ADP and Pi.

1. Statement I is correct; Statement II is correct
2. Statement I is correct; Statement II is incorrect
3. Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is correct
4. Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is incorrect

During relaxation of a skeletal muscle:

1. Calcium ions that are bound to troponin C now bind to troponin A
2. Cross bridge formation between myosin head and actin takes place
3. The A band of the sarcomere lengthens
4. Calcium ions are pumped back to the sarcoplasmic cisternae
