Consumption of irradiated food during pregnancy can cause birth defects is false.

<h3>What are birth defects?</h3>

Birth defect in pregnancy are the structural or functional abnormalities occur during intrauterine stage. It can be detected either prenatally or in infancy state.

The primary causes are genetic, Socioeconomic, Environmental and other factors.

Chromosomal abnormalities and single gene defects are the major genetic abnormality based birth defects, such as Down syndrome and cystic fibrosis etc.

When parents are related by their blood group can also leads to high risk of rare  genetic birth defects.

Hence, the statement is false

Which of the following does not characterize the lungs of birds?
kompoz [17]

Answer:

C) They are compressed during inhalation.

Explanation:

Birds breathe through rigid lungs that are located in the animal's thoracic region. The trachea of birds divides into bronchi that branch inside the lungs into very thin tubes called parabronchials or parabroncholes, which are irrigated by blood capillaries that allow gas exchange.

In birds there are no pulmonary alveoli (as in mammals), but air capillaries that depart from the parabroncholes. Oxygen gas passes from these capillaries to the blood capillaries, thus causing gas exchange.

In the lower portion of the bird's trachea, before branching the bronchi, we can find the syringe, a bag-like structure that has vocal cords responsible for the birds' scream and song. Most of the time, the sound emitted by birds serves to attract the mate, mark territory and prevent birds of the same species against some predator or other danger.

A - DNA as the inheritance materials B - RNA as the inheritance materials C - The formation of organic molecules, e.g. nucleic a
Stels [109]

EXPLANATION:

There are 2 types of nucleic acids: DNA(deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA(ribonucleic acid).

Living organisms have their genetic material in their DNA. Viruses use RNA as their genetic material but are usually called non-living things( because they can't reproduce without help from a host).

The function of nucleic acids has a progression from DNA to RNA to proteins. This is called the central dogma of molecular biology.

Nucleic acids are formed by a linkage of polynucleotide chains with phosphodiester bonds. These polynucleotide chains are formed from monomers called NUCLEOTIDES.

A nucleotide is made up of 3 parts:

i) a nitrogenous base

ii) a five-carbon sugar

iii) at least one phosphate group.

The qrs complex is associated with ________. the qrs complex is associated with ________. depolarization of the ventricular sept
Zepler [3.9K]

In a typical ECG (Electrocardiogram) the first wave obtained is P wave; The P wave represents the depolarization of the atria. After this, the QRS complex is formed. The QRS wave represents the depolarization of the ventricles.  During the depolarization phase, the ventricles contracts and pushes the blood into the atria. Hence, the correct answer is depolarization of the ventricles.
