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.

Fiesta28 [93]

The question has been answered itself but the answer will contain the detail explanation.

Answer:

1. The replication fork formation during DNA replication is important for the continuity and the addition of the further base pair on the template. The DNA initiation process starts by the formation of replication fork.

2. The okazaki fragments are the short DNA fragments that are formed on the lagging strand. These fragments are later joined by the enzyme DNA ligase.

3. Leading strand is the continuous strand that formed during the DNA replication. The direction of the leading strand is 5' to 3' .

4. DNA polymerase is the main replicating enzyme during the DNA replication process. Different types of DNA polymerase with multiple subunits are present in prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

5. The new DNA that are formed from the parental strand and complementary with each other are called daughter DNA.
