Answer to Problem 1Q

Correct answer:

The correct answer is option (c) the limbs.

Explanation of Solution

Explanation/justification for the correct answer:

Option (c) the limbs. Mucosa tissue is a layer of smooth muscle found in the internal organs of the body, not in the limbs of the body. So, the correct answer is an option (c).

Explanation for the incorrect answer:

Option (a) lactating breast. The mucosa exists in the lactating breast. So, this is an incorrect answer.

Option (b) urogenital tract. The animals, urogenital is found as the internal part of the body. In this mucosa, membranes are found to perform the function of absorption, transporting nutrients, and secretion. So, this is an incorrect answer.

Option (d) gastrointestinal tract. In the animals, the gastrointestinal tract is found as the internal part of the body. In these membranes, the mucosa is found to perform the function of absorption and secretion. So, this is an incorrect answer.

Option (e) salivary glands. In the animals, salivary glands are found as the part of the digestive tube. In this mucosa, membranes are found to perform the function of absorption and secretion. So, this is an incorrect answer.

Option (f) lachrymal glands. Mucosa tissues is a layer of smooth muscle found in the lachrymal glands which are located above the lateral end of the eye. So, this is an incorrect answer.

Option (g) In the animals, respiratory tract found as the part of the digestive tube. In this mucosa, membranes are found to perform the function of absorption and secretion. So, this is an incorrect answer.

Option (h) In the animals, pancreas found as the part of the digestive tube. In this mucosa, membranes are found to perform the function of absorption and secretion. So, this is an incorrect answer.

Conclusion

Mucosa tissue is a layer of smooth muscle found in the internal organs of the body, not in the limbs of the body. So, the correct answer is an option (c).

*Example 2: Tracing the path of an autosomal dominant trait Trait: Neurofibromatosis Forms of the trait: The dominant form is neurofibromatosis, caused by the production of an abnormal form of the protein neurofibromin. Affected individuals show spots of abnormal skin pigmentation and non-cancerous tumors that can interfere with the nervous system and cause blindness. Some tumors can convert to a cancerous form. i The recessive form is a normal protein - in other words, no neurofibromatosis.moovi A typical pedigree for a family that carries neurofibromatosis is shown below. Note that carriers are not indicated with half-colored shapes in this chart. Use the letter "N" to indicate the dominant neurofibromatosis allele, and the letter "n" for the normal allele.
