Breathing in humans is driven by all of the following except a. the muscles attached to the ribs. b. air pressure. c. the diaphragm. d. the muscles connected to the lungs.

Option D

Explanation:

The following muscles play an important role in breathing  

a) Thin skeletal muscle at the base of chest i.e Diaphragm

b) Muscle between the ribs i.e intercostal muscles

c) The muscles in the neck  

d) Abdominal muscle

In terms of physical characteristics, air pressure is essential to take in air and also assures that it reaches to the lungs. The pressure is regulated and controlled by diaphragm movement.  

However, muscles connected to lungs have no role in respiration.  

Hence, option D is correct

as in mitosis, dna replication occurs during interphase.   in meiosis, it occurs specifically in s phase of interphase 1.
