Answer:

An increase in membrane thickness

Explanation:

Gaseous exchange occurs in relation to Fick's Law which states:

'the rate of diffusion is proportional to both the surface area and concentration difference and is inversely proportional to the thickness of the membrane

Therefore, based on this law, an increase in the thickness of the membrane will result in a decreased diffusion rate which will in turn slow down the process of gaseous exchange

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked recessive trait that causes muscular weakness, deterioration of muscle tissue,
Ronch [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is - XDXd and XD Y

Explanation:

Sex-linked disorders are the disorders that are expressed only when there is two copy of the mutated allele or have not masked by the dominant allele of the gene. In DMD, the dominant allele is XD and the mutated allele is Xd. To express it there are the following genotype possible-

in women XdXd, and in men XdY, so these two genotypes are not possible for the parents in this case. If a mutated allele is present with the dominant allele it will be considered as carrier women but diseased will not be found in them.

So the correct genotype would be

mother: XDXd ( a carrier woman)

father : XDY (normal man)

Together, inhalation and exhalation are referred to as ________. together, inhalation and exhalation are referred to as ________
Gennadij [26K]
Together, inhalation and exhalation are referred to as breathing. Inhalation is the process of breathing where air moves into the lungs through the nose and the mouth. This causes an increase in the volume of air in the lungs, meaning the pressure will decrease, thus the air then moves to the lungs. Exhalation on the other hand is the flow of the breath out of an organism, for example in humans it is the movement of air from the lungs out of the airways, to the external environment during breathing.
