During inhalation, you breathe in and this contracts the diaphragm and moves downwards. This increments the chest cavity space which means the lungs are expanding. The intercostal muscles or the muscles in between the ribs also aids in the enlargement of the chest cavity. Both muscles contract to pull your rib cage upward and outward when you inhale. As your lungs expand, air is sucked through your nose and mouth. It then travels down to the windpipe and into the lungs to the bronchus, bronchioles and eventually in the alveoli where air exchange between carbon dioxide and oxygen happens.

The additional accessory muscles of respiration are typically used only under conditions that are of high metabolic demand or respiratory dysfunction. However, in instances where these muscles become stiff and hard, expansion of the rib cage can be quite restricted. The accessory muscles of respiration include sternocleidomastoid and the scalene muscles namely anterior, middle and posterior scalene. Both aid in elevating the rib cage. However, their involvement seems to depend on the degree of respiratory effort. During quiet breathing, the scalenes are consistently active at certain phases while the sternocleidomastoid is quite.

An organism possesses one copy of each allele type for a given gene. It is said to be __________.
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

Heterozygous for the gene

Explanation:

Alleles are the possible alternative forms of a gene. An organism having two identical alleles of a gene is said to be homozygous for that gene. On the other hand, an organism having two dissimilar alleles for a gene is heterozygous for that gene.

For example, let's suppose that I^A and I^B are the two alleles for ABO blood type in humans. Here, an individual with one copy of I^A and one copy of I^B would be heterozygous for ABO blood type. On the other hand, genotypes I^AI^A and I^BI^B are homozygous for the ABO blood type gene.

Each of the proteins involved in DNA replication plays an important role. If one of these proteins was not functional it would h
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. Topoisomerase is an enzyme helps in over winding Or underwinding of DNA during replication. Helps in the topological correction. So non-functional topoisomerase leads to tangled DNA and prevents replication..

2. Primases are the enzymes helps in the synthesis of short RNA sequences used as primers in replication. Non functional primase leads to no primer synthesis.  

3. DNA Polymerase is an enzyme helps in the addition of new nucleotide to the growing strand in replication. Non functional DNA polymerase prevents the strand growing as no new nucleotides were added.  

4. Helicases are the enzymes helps in the separation of double strands into single and helps in each strand to be copied. Non functional helicase leads to prevention of unwinding of strands and replication inhibition.  

5. ligase is an enzyme that joins nicks(small gaps) in the DNA strand by creating ester bond. Non functional ligase leads to unjointed gaps of lagging strand.  

6. Single strand binding proteins(SSB's) are the small proteins that binds to the single strands of DNA and holds them in a place not to get together while replicating. Non functional SSB's leads to parental strands come back together and prevents replication.

What observations are consistent with the conclusion that DNA serves as the genetic material in eukaryotes? Select the four corr
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:DNA is shown to be the genetic material in bacteria and some phages.

DNA is shown to be present in mitochondria, chloroplasts and nucleus, where genetic function is performed

Specific genes can be isolated and spliced into bacterial DNA, which can be inserted into a bacterial cell, and then its genetic expression is monitored.

DNA and RNA are found to be the only macromolecules in eukaryotes that consist of a set of subunits which can combine in unique sequence

Explanation:

1. Lipds is another macro molecule with different subnits  of  fatty acids and glycerol,therefore the option ( DNA is found to be the only macro molecule in Eukaryotas that has different sub units) is WRONG.

2 The   correlation of action and absorption spectra varies with different organisms DNA. e..g  in viral cells  there is a wide difference between the absorption and action spectra, that is no correlation, while  some bacterial cells showed correlations. The option(For DNA, content in various cell types action and absorption spectra of ultraviolet light are correlated IS WRONG.
