Not all inspired air reaches the alveoli; 150 ml is stopped in the airway leading to the alveoli. This is called dead air space.

Alveoli are the tiny air sacs present all over the lungs. These are supposed to increase the surface area of the lungs so as to increase the amount of inhaled air. The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place through these alveoli.

Dead air space is the unventilated area where air circulation does not take place. This air is supposed to be get trapped somewhere in the respiratory pathway or it reaches an alveoli that is poorly perfused. The dead air space can be of two types: anatomical dead space and physiologic dead space.

A pea plant with round seeds (RR) is crossbred with another pea plant with wrinkled seeds (rr). What is the probability of the o
vichka [17]

Answer:

0%

Explanation:

The cross of a pea plant with round seeds (RR) with another pea plant with wrinkled seeds (rr) is shown as under :

P              RR  x   rr

F1          Rr    Rr    Rr   Rr

It is clear from the cross above, all the 4 probable progenies in filial 1 (F1) generation will be heterozygous with Rr genotype. Not even a single progeny will have homozygous recessive genotype which is responsible for producing wrinkled seeds. Also, even though the genotype of the progenies will be Rr not RR yet phenotypically they all will have round seeds i.e. they will show dominant trait. The reason behind it is that one of the alleles R which is responsible for dominant trait will mask the expression of recessive allele r. So, wrinkled phenotype which is a recessive trait will not be observed in any of the progenies.
