Answer:

The correct answer would be D.Alveolar sacs are surrounded by thin capillaries where gases can be exchanged.

Alveoli are tiny sacs which form the site of gas exchange in the lungs.

The features of alveoli which help in gas exchange are:

  • They increase the surface area in the lungs thus, more space is available for gas exchange.
  • They have very thin walls, as thin as the thickness of a single cell only.
  • They are surrounded by a bunch of thin capillaries which exchange gases with alveoli.

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

Mutations rarely occur

Explanation:

Mutations are genetic changes, i.e., alterations in the DNA sequence. Generally, mutations have deleterious effects, but there are exceptions where mutations may confer an adaptive advantage in a given environment. Mutations are often deleterious, and thereby these genetic changes are rare events. In consequence, mutation rates, i.e., the frequency by which new mutations arise in an organism over time, are generally very low. Finally, mutations that arise only in germ cells can be inherited from a generation to the next generation, while somatic mutations cannot be inherited.
