Answer:

In quiet breathing inspiration involves muscular contractions and expiration is passive.

Explanation:

Respiration process involves two different stages, inspiration - inhalation- and expiration - exhalation-.

During inspiration, the diaphragm <u>contracts</u> and goes down, while intercostal muscles also <u>contract</u> and go up. These actions enhance the size of the thoracic box and <u>reduce internal pressure</u>. As a result, air flows in and fills the lungs.

During expiration, the <u>diaphragm relaxes</u> and the volume of the thoracic box diminishes, which causes the <u>pressure inside to increase</u>. In consequence, the lungs contract and the air is expulsed outside.

A strain of a cereal grain can be either dark tan, medium-dark tan, medium tan, light tan, or cream colored. When a dark tan and
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

The correct answer is - 2 genes.

Explanation:

The number of genes involved in the coloration of the strain of cereal grain, could be either dark tan, medium-dark tan, medium tan, light tan, or cream-colored if all F1 are medium tan when crossed a dark tan crossed with cream-colored, can be calculated as follow:

suppose there are only two gene - TT dominant over tt and CC dominant over cc

then the cross would be - RRCC - rrcc

gametes - RC and rc

Cross F1: RrCc

Self cross in F2:

offspring by Punnet cross are:

RRCC  -->1/16  

RRCc,  RrCC .---> 4/16

RrCc, RRcc, rrCC--->6/16

rrCc, Rrcc--->4/16

rrcc ----> 1/16

thus, the correct answer is 2 genes

explain how natural selecin oacting on allele frequencies of a gene that controls body coloraiton can result in populations of 3
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

Answer below

Explanation:

Well when natural selection occurs, genes that don't benefit the speicies, or more accurately, harm it by ruining camoflague. Natural selection can result in one creature evolving into 3 different species when those creatures get put into different environments that promote genetic mutations that help them survive. After a long while of genetic mutations coming and going to adapt to their environment, those three members of the species are no longer the same species because they've all adapted to different environments.
