Why is it that although single myosin molecules have a polarity, the myosin in thick filaments is

symmetrical?

Polarity of a molecule does not involve the symmetry of the molecule rather it deals on with the presence of net charges and partial charges. It would be due to the partial charges present in the single myosin molecules that causes its polarity. Hope this helps. Have a nice day.
