Answer:

(B) the internal pressure is less than atmospheric pressure.

Explanation:

The process of respiration is divided into two distinct phases, inspiration (inhalation) and expiration (exhalation). During inspiration, the diaphragm contracts and pulls downward while the muscles between the ribs contract and pull upward. This increases the size of the thoracic cavity and decreases the pressure inside. As a result, air rushes in and fills the lungs.

Hence, as the thoracic cavity increases in volume the lungs are pulled from all sides to expand, causing a drop in the pressure (a partial vacuum) within the lung itself.  As such the internal pressure is less than atmospheric pressure.

During expiration, diaphragm contracts inferiorly and thoracic muscles pull the chest wall outwardly (the diaphragm relaxes, and the volume of the thoracic cavity decreases, while the pressure within it increases). As a result, the lungs contract and air is forced out.

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

La reproducción sexual consisten en la unión de dos gametos uno femenino y otro masculino, para formar un nuevo individuo con características provenientes de ambos progenitores. Los gametos son células especializadas que se forman por un proceso meiótico y tienen en su núcleo la mitad de la información genética de un organismo, por lo que reciben el nombre de células haploides de manera que cuando se une sus cromosomas se forman células diploides característico de la especie. La característica más importante de este tipo de reproducción es la variación genética que implica que los descendientes tengan características de sus dos progenitores, por lo que son diferentes a ellos. El proceso en el que se une las células sexuales se le conoce como fecundación. En los animales esta pude ser interna o externa.

Explanation:

Los gametos (óvulos y espermatozoides) son células germinales especializadas que se desarrollan a partir de un proceso llamado gametogénesis (espermatogénesis en machos y ovogénesis en hembras). El proceso de gametogénesis implica un tipo de división celular llamado 'meiosis' donde la cantidad de cromosomas se reduce a la mitad. En humanos, el número cromosómico diploide (2n) de 46 cromosomas se reduce a un número haploide (n) de 23 cromosomas. La fecundación es el proceso por el cual los gametos se fusionan durante la reproducción sexual para producir un cigoto diploide. En la reproducción sexual, el aumento de la variación genética en la progenie es un resultado de tres procesos diferentes: la unión aleatoria entre gametos durante la fecundación, la distribución independiente de los cromosomas durante la gametogénesis y el entrecruzamiento (recombinación o crossing over) entre cromátidas de cromosomas homólogos durante la meiosis. Finalmente, en animales, la fecundación puede ser interna, la cual se produce mediante la unión de los gametos dentro del cuerpo de la hembra (por ejemplo, gallina, leona, cebra, etc.), o fecundación externa, donde la fusión de gametos se produce en el ambiente externo (por ejemplo en peces, sapos, ranas, etc.).
