Answer: The correct answer is-

Phenotype.

Phenotype can be described as the morphological form or characteristic of an organism ( such as tall height of plant, skin color, eye color, hair color), which is depicted by the genetic makeup of an organism and is passed to next generation through genes.

The genes ( that is unit of heredity) for particular phenotype are inherited by offspring from their parents in the form of DNA sequences.

In other words, the physical traits ( that is phenotype) are inherited from one generation to the next generation in the form of genes.

Thus, phenotype describes the heritable, physical characteristics of a living organism.

Place the steps of the respiration process in the correct order.
noname [10]

During respiration, 3) Air enters the nostrils. 1) Air passes from the trachea to the bronchi. 4) Air diffuses from the alveoli to the blood cells. 2) Oxygen enters the blood cells. 5) Blood transports oxygen to other cells.

<h3>What is respiration?</h3>

During respiration process occurs gas interchange between the body and the environment.

There are two types of respiration,

1) External respiration involves two different stages, inspiration - inhalation- and expiration -exhalation-.

• During inspiration, the diaphragm and intercostal muscles contractions enhance the size of the thoracic box and reduce internal pressure. As a result, air flows in and fills the lungs.

• During expiration, the diaphragm relaxes, and the volume of the thoracic box diminishes, increasing the internal pressure and making the lungs contract, which results in air expulsion.

2) Internal respiration, during which blood and cells interchange oxygen and carbon dioxide.

Steps:

1) External respiration - Inhalation

Air passes from the environment to the lungs through the nose or mouth.

Oxygenated air moves

• From the nose or mouth to the pharynx.

• From the pharynx to the larynx.

• From the larynx to the trachea.

• From the trachea to the bronchia.

• From bronchia to bronchiole.

• Finally, from the bronchiole to alveoli.

Gas interchange with blood occurs in alveoli.

2) Internal respiration - Systemic circulation

The oxygenated blood moves from the lungs to the heart and the rest of the body.

Gases interchange occurs during this step. Cells take oxygen and release carbon dioxide.

Deoxygenated blood moves from tissues to the heart and from the heart to the lungs, releasing carbon dioxide there.

3) External respiration - Exhalation

Carbon dioxide is released by expiration.

Correct order of steps

3) Air enters the nostrils.

1) Air passes from the trachea to the bronchi.

4) Air diffuses from the alveoli to the blood cells.

2) Oxygen enters the blood cells.

5) Blood transports oxygen to other cells.
