Answer:

muscles

ribs

lungs

bronchioles

alveoli

diffuses

leaves

exchange

Explanation:

Your diaphragm, and muscles between your ribs, make air move in and out of your lungs. It travels through the trachea, bronchi, and bronchioles to alveoli. In the alveoli, oxygen diffuses into the blood and carbon dioxide leaves. This is gas exchange.

Air enters the lungs and leaves it as a result of the relaxation and contraction of the diaphragm and the muscles between the ribs. When both the muscles and the diaphragm relax, air enters from the trachea and travels through the bronchi and the bronchioles to the alveoli, where the oxygen in the air diffuses into the blood and carbon dioxide diffuse in the opposite direction. The entire process is known as gas exchange.

What did Mendel's cross pollination of pea plants prove

pashok25 [27]

Answer: The correct answer is- D certain factors are dominant and other factors are recessive.

Mendel was interested in knowing the offspring that is produced from the cross pollination (that is from two different plants) as he wanted to study different traits of pea plant.

For doing so, he first removed the anthers of one plant (to prevent self pollination) and then transferred the pollens of one plant into the stigma of another plant.

When he allowed the cross pollination of purebred pea plant with other plant, he observed that some factors are dominant (such as tall height of pea plant, which masks the expression of recessive factors) and other are recessive (such as dwarf height of pea plant).

Thus, option D) is the right answer.
