Introduction:
The respiratory system is an organ system that is involved in respiration or breathing. The nose serves as a source of entrance for air into the respiratory tract. The nose is a protruding structure found in the face. Its essential functions are detection of odors, breathing, and amplification of the voice. The nose is made of hyaline cartilage and bone. The anterior external openings of the nose are known as nostrils.
Explanation of Solution
Correct answer:
The nasal cavity is separated by the septum into right and left fossae. Therefore, option c is correct.
Justify reasons for the correct statement:
The internal chamber of the nose is known as nasal cavity which is divided into two halves, the left and the right nasal fossae.
Option (c) is given as, “fossae”.
Nasal fossae are a cavity inside the nostril that is separated by a vertical plate known as a nasal septum which is made of bone and hyaline cartilage.
Hence, option (c) is correct.
Justify reasons for the incorrect statements:
Option (a) is given as, “nares”.
Nares or nostrils are the external openings found on the anterior part of the nose. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Option (b) is given as, “vestibules”.
The nasal vestibules lie anterior to the nasal cavity. It is a space inside the nares. So, it is a wrong answer.
Option (d) is given as, “choanae”.
The nasal choanae is a bony aperture that is formed by the bones superiorly by sphenoid, inferiorly by palatine, posteriorly by vomer, and medially by pterygoid plate of sphenoid. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Option (e) is given as, “conchae”.
The nasal conchae are also called as turbinate. It is a narrow, elongated sea shell shaped bone that divides the nasal airway into four groove-like air passages. Therefore, it is a wrong answer.
Hence, options (a), (b), (d), and (e) are incorrect.
The nasal septum in the nostrils divides into the left and right nasal fossae.

However, a SNP in the position shown in gray (right) would prevent cleavage at this site by EcoRI One of the SNPs in B. rapa is found within the Park14 locus and can be detected by RFLP analysis. The CT polymorphism is found in the intron of the Bra013780 gene found on Chromosome 1. The Park14 allele with the "C" in the SNP has two EcoRI sites and thus is cleaved twice by EcoRI If there is a "T" in that SNP, one of the EcoRI sites is altered, so the Park14 allele with the T in the SNP has only one EcoRI site (Fig. 5-3).

When you sequence this enhancer you find several binding sites for the gap gene, Giant. To test how Giant interacts with eve, you decide to remove all of the Giant binding sites from the eve enhancer. What results do you expect to see with respect to eve expression?arrow_forward
