The correct answer is option A. Carrying the genetic code and determining an organism's structure and function are the functions of DNA. It is the hereditary material in almost all other organisms. The information in a DNA is stored as codes that is composed of chemical bases.
Question is incomplete. Complete question is as follows:
The ____ abuts the lumen of the alimentary canal and consists of epithelium, lamina propria, and muscularis mucosae.
Answer:
Mucosa
Explanation:
Mucosa or mucosal membrane forms the lining of many cavities in the body like the alimentary canal and also covers many internal organs. It lines reproductive, digestive and respiratory system. In the gastrointestinal tract the mucosa is made of three layers: epithelium, lamina propria and muscularis mucosae.
The epithelium of mucosa is made of simple columnar epithelium cells. It consists of many types of cells like parietal cells (secrete HCL) and foveolar cells (secrete mucus). Lamina propria is a loose connective tissue present beneath the epithelium. It provides nutrition and support to epithelium. Muscularis mucosae has smooth muscle fibers which helps the glands on the surface to secrete their contents and also increase the contact between contents of lumen and epithelium.
A total of 52 total chromosomes would be present in an intestinal cell from a platypus. Two copies of each chromosome will be found in the somatic cell of the platypus. Ten of the chromosomes will be the sex chromosomes.
