Answer:

The diaphragm muscle contacts and relaxes to force the intake and expulsion of air from the lungs.

Explanation:

The diaphragm is a large, dome-shaped skeletal muscle. It is very thin, and is located at the base of the chest just above the abdomen. It plays a very important role during respiration or breathing by forcing the intake and expulsion of air from the lungs.

During inhalation, this muscle contracts, and flattens- in the process, a vacuum is created, effectively pulling air into the space. In exhalation the muscle relaxes, and is no longer flattened, this reduces the volume of the region, forcing air out of the lungs. These contractions occur rhythmically and continuously.

An organism contains 40% of adenine, how much thymine is present?

blondinia [14]

According to Chargaff's Rules, concentration of adenine is equal to the concentration of thymine. Therefor if adenine= 40% thymine= 40%.
BUT this only works for double strand DNA.The possibility of Adenine= 40% and Thymine= 60% is only in a single stranded DNA molecule.
