Answer:

Visceral pleura

Explanation:

The pleura forms the main component of the respiratory system whose main objective is to carry out the process of respiration without any difficulty and also to reduce friction during the time of breathing.

It is basically comprised of two types namely-

(1) The Parietal pleura

(2) The Visceral pleura

The visceral pleura can be usually referred to as one of the important and fine membranes that surround the surface of the lungs. It is separated by the parietal pleura due to the presence of a pleural fluid between them.  

On the other hand, the parietal pleura is responsible for surrounding the internal portion of the chest cavity and is comparatively thicker than the visceral pleura.

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

3. shapes the genetic characteristics of a species as a consequence of adaptation

Explanation:

Natural selection is a process characterized by how plants and animals that are able to adapt to changes in their environment are able to survive and reproduce while those that are unable to adapt do not survive.

In natural selection, those variations in the genotype which increases an organism’s chances of survival and procreation are preserved and multiplied from generation to generation at the expense of less advantageous variations.

Natural selection is a way of enhancing the preservation of a group of organisms that are best adjusted to the physical and biological conditions of their environment and may also result in their improvement in some cases.
