Air or gas can build up in the pleural space and when this happens, it's called a pneumothorax.

Hence the given statement is TRUE.

Genes: The DNA is the genetic material. The DNA is made of several nucleotides. A nucleotide means, one nitrogenous base one sugar molecule and a phosphate molecule. These Nucleotides occur in sequences and several nucleotides form one gene ( a functional gene is called a cistron)

The three statements make up the cell theory are::

1. All living things are made up of cells.

2. Cells are the basic unit of structure/function in living things.

3. New cells come frome exisiting cells.

These cells can vary widely, but all living things are composed of cells.

In DNA, adjacent nucleotides are linked by a phosphodiester bond: a covalent bond is formed between the 5' phosphate group of one nucleotide and the 3'-OH group of another.

Hence, in this manner, each strand of DNA has a "backbone" of phosphate-sugar-phosphate-sugar-phosphate.

DNA - Deoxyribonucleic acid is a type of nucleic acid. The sugar contained in it is called Deoxyribose.

DNA is called the blueprint of life because it contains the instructions needed for an organism to grow, develop, survive and reproduce. DNA does this by controlling protein synthesis. Proteins do most of the work in cells, and are the basic unit of structure and function in the cells of organisms.

The oval window is connected directly to scala vestibuli.

Goosebumps are caused by the contraction of the tiny muscles attached to hair follicles. These muscles are arrectores pilorum muscles.
