Barbara have both alleles that are dominant. It is because all the
letters for the genotype of the trait are capitalized. It might be that
both of her parents have at least one dominant allele each
Answer:
Option C, Intrapleural pressure is less than intrapulmonary pressure
Explanation:
During inspiration, the air enters the lungs due to lower pressure in the intrapulmonary or intra-alveolar than the atmospheric pressure. During quite respiration, the intrapulmonary pressure reduces to a pressure that is 3 mm Hg lower than that of atmospheric pressure. During quiet expiration, the intrapulmonary pressure rises up to a pressure that is 3 mm Hg higher than that of atmospheric pressure. This leads to lack of air in the intrapleural space thereby producing intrapleural pressure which is lesser than that of intrapulmonary pressure.
This difference in pressure (i.e higher pressure with in the lungs than the atmosphere) causes lungs to remain attached to the chest wall and hence looks inflated.
Hence, option C is correct
Answer:
The correct answer will be option-formation of heterochromatin
Explanation:
Methylation of DNA is the epigenetic mechanism which controls the expression of a gene by adding a methyl group to the cytosine bases in eukaryotic DNA.
The methylation of DNA converts the cytosine residues to the 5-methylcytosine catalysed by DNA methyltransferase enzyme. This results in the silencing of the gene and transcription get switched off.
Studies have shown that DNA methylation is involved in the formation and maintenance of the heterochromatin structure which is the condensed form of the chromatin in which transcription is switched off.
Thus, the formation of heterochromatin is the correct answer.
