The respiratory structure that contracts and relaxes to allow air to flow in and out of the lungs is option(c) i.e, the diaphragm.

<h3>What is the diaphragm?</h3>

The diaphragm, a delicate skeletal muscle that separates the chest from the belly, is located at the base of the chest. When you breathe in, it flattens and shrinks. As a result, the lungs experience a vacuum effect that draws air in. The diaphragm relaxes and the air is forced out of the lungs when you exhale.

signs of diaphragm issues:

  • Acid reflux, heartburn, coughing, and difficulty swallowing.
  • alterations to skin tone (skin may turn blue).
  • rapid heartbeat, pressure in the chest, and/or breathing difficulties (especially when lying down).
  • Headaches.
  • Hiccups that persist or recur frequently.

Patients who need surgery for conditions affecting the chest, including diaphragm issues, are treated by a thoracic surgeon.

Ede4ka [16]

<u>Answer:</u>

A mating of two people of medium height (where three genes control height): AaBbCc x AaBbCc produce <u>Seven</u> distinct phenotypes determined by the number of genes inherited.

Option: (D)

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Traits are the characters that we observe. When the parents AaBbCc and AaBbCc are crossed then AABBCC and aabbcc are two different dominant and recessive genomes seen in the offspring.
  • Offspring with AABBCC will be height whereas aabbcc will be dwarf. There will be offspring with different heights depending upon the dominant and recessive gene present in them.
  • Another genome produced are AABBCc/AaBBCC/AABbCC, next will have four dominant and 2 recessive, next will have 3 dominant and 3 recessive AaBbCc, next will have 2 dominant and 4 recessive, one dominant and five recessive. All together offspring produced will be 64
