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.

Convection takes place when particles with an ample of heat energy in a gas or liquid move and occupy the place of constituents with less heat energy.  

Heat energy is conducted from hot places to cooler places by the process of convection.

DNA expresses the genetic code and the arrangement of that code determines the
Zinaida [17]

Answer: However, most non-canonical genetic codes are inferred from DNA sequence alone, or occasionally DNA sequences and corresponding tRNAs. Because the code governs the translation of nucleotide to amino acid sequences, a code can in principle only be confirmed when both the gene and protein sequences are known

Explanation :DNA is considered a universal genetic code because every known living organism has genes made of DNA. ... Every living organism uses that same system. Basically, every three pieces of DNA becomes one amino acid.
