The respiratory system, functionally, can be separated in two zones namely the conducting zone (nose to bronchioles) form a path for conduction of the inhaled gases and respiratory zone (alveolar duct to alveoli) where the gas exchange takes place. Anatomically, respiratory tract is divided into upper (organ outside thorax-nose,pharynx and larynx) and lower respiratory tract (organ within thorax-trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveolar duct and alveoli). Airway closure is a normal phenomenon in the body, with reopening of airways during the succeeding inspiration.

The appropriate choice would be the supraglottic portion of the laryngeal vestibule. It is the portion of the cavity of the larynx above the vocal cords. It is wide and triangular in shape, it is inlet to another cavity in the lateral wall of larynx, the laryngeal ventricle.

What kind of viral replication cycle will most likely damaged host cells immediately
Verizon [17]

Viral replication involves six steps: attachment, penetration, uncoating, replication, assembly, and release. During attachment and penetration, the virus attaches itself to a host cell and injects its genetic material into it.


toxic enzymes that damage the host cell that are coded for in the viral genome

secretion of chemicals from the virus to the membrane of the host cell

replication of the viral genetic material within the host

lysis of the host to release new viruses

integrating into the host cell chromosomes

Fruit color in a particular plant is controlled by a set of three quantitative trait loci (i.e., QTLs or polygenes), that work i
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

1/8

Explanation:

Given that the trihybrid parents have AaBbCc genotype for fruit color. The trait is a quantitative trait i.e. each dominant allele will have an additive effect on it. In this case, AaBbCc and AABBCC will not produce same fruit color because AaBbCc has only three loci contributing to the color while in AABBCC all the six loci are contributing to the color. For an offspring to be exactly similar to the AaBbCc parents it should have the same genotype of AaBbCc.

The probability of Aa to come from a cross between Aa and Aa is 2/4 or 1/2

The probability of Bb to come from a cross between Bb and Bb is 2/4 or 1/2

The probability of Cc to come from a cross between Cc and Cc is 2/4 or 1/2

So the collective probability of AaBbCc offspring from a cross between AaBbCc and AaBbCc parents would be=

1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/8

Hence, assuming no effects of the environment, 1/8 of the offspring will have the same fruit color phenotype as the trihybrid parent.
