Answer:

<em>The correct option is C) C-shaped cartilage rings </em>

Explanation:

The trachea is commonly known as the wind-pipe. The trachea can be described as about a 4 inch long passage from which the air travels into the bronchi and lungs. The pathway of the trachea is kept open by C- shaped cartilages which are lined all over in the trachea. The C-shaped cartilages protects as well as maintain the shape of the wind-pipe. The rigidity of the trachea arises from the C-shaped cartilages.

Wolves feed on a variety of large prey, including elk. Elk feed on shrubs and trees like aspen and cottonwood trees.
Trava [24]

Answer:

Population size of elk increased while the population of aspen tree declined.

Explanation:

As per question, removal of wolves from the system would result in increased elk population due to absence of its predator (wolves). The increased elk population would extensively feed on  shrubs and trees like aspen and cottonwood trees. This would cause decline in population size of these shrubs and trees.

Under which conditions are the lac structural genes expressed most efficiently?
madam [21]

Lac genes are most effectively expressed in presence of Lactose and its analogs when glucose is absent.

Explanation:

A unit of prokaryotic gene expression and regulation,which includes structural genes and regulatory sequences recognized by regulatory gene product is called operon.

<em>Lac </em>structural genes are a part of<em> Lac</em> operon. The <em>Lac </em>operon consists of three, structural genes,an operator and a promoter.The product of Lac operon is involved in the conversion of disaccharide lactose into glucose and Galactose.

Lactose and its analogs are inducers of<em> Lac </em>operon. So, the structural genes are best expressed in presence of Lactose. Glucose and galactose are repressors of lac gene so the genes are repressed in presence of glucose.
