Answer:

Pulmonary fibrosis is a disease that affects the lungs. The lung tissue becomes damaged and scarred which causes it to be thickened and stiff.

The condition pulmonary fibrosis is caused by the replacement of elastic fibers in the lung with inelastic collagen fibers. This decreases the lungs’ ability to stretch outwards.

Pulmonary fibrosis however mainly affects inspiration because the lungs cannot stretch to increase volume while during expiration stretching of the tissues doesn’t happen so it doesn’t affect the process.

Answer:

inspiration

Explanation:

The ability if the lungs to stretch  due to contraction of  inter coastal muscles ensures that maximum air enters the lungs as the lungs expands,  and enough oxygen enter the alveoli to reach the blood,this is inspiration.

If inelastic collagen fibres replaces the elastic fibres, the failure of the lung to stretch outwards,increase in volume, deceases the lung capacity, thus maximum filling inspiration is prevented, and therefore low oxygen supplies to the needed organs.

At the end of meiosis II, how does the DNA in each of the four new cells compare to the DNA from the original cell?
Olin [163]

DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is a long chain molecule that plays a central role in life on earth. The information encoded in strands of DNA controls the genetic makeup of organisms. The DNA molecule has a backbone of sugars and phosphate groups off of which hang simpler units called nucleotide bases.

During meiosis i, assuming no crossing over, what chromatid combination(s) will be present at the completion of prophase i?
arsen [322]

Answer

         Crossing over is the phenomenon in which exchange of chromtids occur between non sister chromatids  and result into recombinant chromatids, which is an important tool for evolution and bring about genetic changes in offsprings as compare to their parents.

No crossing over

                If no crossing over occurs, it means no exchange of chromatids between non sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes, then no recombinant chromatids will be formed.

Result

        At the end of meiosis II, when four haploid cells are formed, all these cell will contain similar chromosomes as present in parent. Thus chromosomes are non recombinant because of no crossing over.
