Answer:

The tendinous intersections refer to the three fibrous bands that cross the rectus abdominis muscle. The upper band is located at the xiphoid process, the lower one at the umbilicus level, and the middle one is situated between the two bands. The tendinous intersections in humans are formed of tendinous fibers, which differentiates the rectus abdominis into four components.

On the other hand, the rectus abdominis muscle is spontaneous in the case of cats, that is, it arises from the pubis and merges with the costal cartilages numbering five to seven and the sternum. The alternate overlapping of the internal oblique and rectus abdominis muscles produces the intersections, however, no true intersections are witnessed in it.

Answer: Irreducible complexity

Explanation:

Irreducible complexity can be defined as characteristic of complex system it is impossible to reduce the complexity of the system by removal of any parts to maintain the functionality of the system. The given situation is an example of irreducible complexity. The increased levels of tryptophan will inactivate the synthesis process but it is again reactivated when the levels decreases this is suggestive of the fact that it is impossible to reduce the complexity of the system.
