The iris is a pigmented muscular curtain found near the front of the eye and between the cornea and lens. It is perforated by an opening known as the pupil. The location of the iris is found in front of the eye lens and the ciliary body and posterior to the cornea. It is bathed in a fluid called as the aqueous humor.


The iris consists of two sheets of smooth muscles with opposing actions: dilation/expansion and contraction/constriction. The primary function of these muscles is tho control the size of the pupil and modulates how much light reaches the sensory tissue of the retina. The sphincter muscle of the iris is a rounded muscle that constricts the pupil whenever there is a bright light, whereas the dilator muscle expands the eye opening when it contracts.

Therefore, the answer is D. SMOOTH AND INVOLUNTARY because first of all the types of muscles that comprises the muscles in the iris are smooth and it is involuntary because they eyes auto-regulates the light that comes to it without our conscious effort.

As a plant grows, new root hair cells are formed from unspecialised cells.
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

Root hairs appear in the root maturation zone and differentiate from unspecialised cells called trichoblasts.

Explanation:

Root hair arises as a small protrusion surrounded by a cell wall, they are found in the piliferous area; they can originate in unspecialised epidermal cells, in some called trichoblasts. The bump begins to elongate and moves away from the epidermis, forming root hair. The root hairs as they lengthen, it is seen that their content shows a polarized distribution, the apical part is constituted mainly by vesicles secreted by the Golgi apparatus that contain the precursors of the cell wall that are to be released by exocytosis. Trichoblasts can be arranged in different ways, there are roots where any of the cells that are part of the rhizodermis can give rise to a root hair. In other roots, trichoblasts and atricoblasts have been seen to be distinguished alternately along a row of cells.
