Answer:

The alveoli are sacks coated on their inner wall by white and sticky liquid, they can be more than a millimeter in diameter and surface active agent. In them there is the exchange of gases between O2 and CO2.

They are evaginations of the epithelium of the air ducts with a single opening for the gases to exit and enter, controlled by the action of a smooth muscle sphincter. Its walls, called alveolar septa, provide a large increase in the exchange surface.

soldier1979 [14.2K]
We must first define these three prominent definitions of species. Biological species concept means that organisms resemble each other because of genes being passed from parent to offspring. Phylogenetic species concept means that organisms resemble each other because they evolved from a common ancestor. Lastly, morphological species concept characterizes species on the structure of their body parts rather than genetic or phylogeny. 

In this case, (1) biological species concept is not applicable for extinct species, (2) phylogenetic species concept is based on evolutionary history, (3) morphological species concept relies on similarities in structure, (4) Morphological and phylogenetic species concept accommodates asexual reproduction, and lastly (5) all species concepts are used by scientists in classification.

Explain how breast-cancer genes are still present in the population, despite cancer-related surgeries and deaths.
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

What are so called breast-cancer genes, are mutations in two genes: BRCA1 (BReast CAncer gene one) and BRCA2 (BReast CAncer gene two), and are also associated with ovaric cancer. According to the question, these genes are present in the popolation despite surgeries and deaths, and asks why. Surgeries does not eliminate the genes, they eliminate the tumors, and people can still reproduce after that. And also, most people already had offspring before they know they have cancer, so they are inheriting the mutations on the genes anyway.
