The answer would be Prevents reflux of air back into the chest

Pneumothorax happens if there is hole between the visceral pleura and parietal pleura which normally have negative pressure. This allow the air slip out into the space, prevent the lungs to expand. Chest tube is placed in the pleura to remove the air while the water seal the tube so the air from atmosphere won't go inside.

Which of the following molecular structures contain codons?A) tRNAB) rRNAC) a proteinD) mRNA
KiRa [710]

Answer:

D) mRNA

Explanation:

In mRNA, genetic information is written from four letters, which correspond to the nitrogenous bases. This is called ogenated codon; A, C, G and U, forming long sequences of triplets. In mRNA, each of these consecutive, non-overlapping triplets is called the codon, which undergoes transient binding to the complementary aminoacyl-tRNA within the ribosome insertion sites during the translation process to establish initiation, elongation, and completion of polypeptide formation, plus a punctuation symbol.
