Answer:

Chromosome is the compact form of genetic material(DNA) present in the nucleus of a cell. These chromosomes are a combination of proteins and DNA. These chromosomes carry our hereditary material in the form of genes.

Each chromosomes carry many genes which are transferred to the next generation. Each chromosome divides into the S- phase and they become compact during the mitosis phase.  

Chromosomes can be seen under the microscope in the metaphase stage of cell cycle. 23 pairs of chromosomes are present in each cell out of which 22 are autosomes and 23rd is the sex chromosome.  

These sex chromosomes is different in both male and female because females have two X chromosomes and male have one X and one Y chromosome as sex chromosome.

How does a dichotomous key help you identify unknown specimens based on their traits? Answer with details about the format and s
Aneli [31]
A dichotomous key helps you identify unknown specimens based on their traits because there are only two options available per trait. Selecting one from the two options (usually contrasting characteristics) from each step leads to smaller and smaller groups until the option is reduced to single and unique trait of an organism.

Considering you need to identify an organism. So, on the top of they key is animal with options: (a) with red blood cells and (b) no red blood cells. The option you will select is no red blood cells and under option b, you’re given two choices again: (a) hard bodies and (b) soft bodies. You’ll select soft bodies, then two options again are given: (a) with shell and (b) without shell. The option you’ll select would be without shell, and so on.

Which muscles assist in inhalation when running up the stairs? A) sternocleidomastoid, pectoralis major, scalenes B) sternocleid
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

Sternocleidomastoid, pectoralis minor, scalenes

Explanation:

During normal inhalation, contraction of the diaphragm and the contraction of external intercostals expands the chest cavity. The increased volume of the thoracic cavity results in reduced alveolar pressure than the atmospheric pressure to facilitate the flow of air into the lungs in response to the pressure gradient.

During deep inhalation as it occurs when running up the stairs, the accessory muscles of inhalation also participate to increase the volume of the chest cavity. The contraction of scalene and sternocleidomastoid muscles increase the volume of the chest cavity further to create a greater drop in alveolar pressure.

During forceful inhalation, the sternocleidomastoid muscles serve to elevate the sternum, the scalene muscles serve to elevate the first two ribs while the pectoralis minor elevate the third through fifth ribs.
