12. How do the heart and the lungs work together? Arrange the following statements in correct order of how
the human breathing system works.
1. Carbon dioxide diffuses from the blood to the alveoli and is released during exhalation.
2.Gas exchange takes place between the capillaries and alveoli in the lungs.
3.Inhaled oxygen enters the bloodstream through diffusion from the alveoli into the capillaries.
4. Oxygenated blood flows back to the heart through pulmonary vein.
5. The heart pumps deoxygenated blood that enters the lungs through the pulmonary artery.
6. The heart pumps the blood and enters the aorta, the oxygen, to be distributed throughout
the body.

c. Higher amount of CO2 increases the combination of carbon dioxide with H2O in thousands of
erythrocytes.

16. What happens to blood when it is pumped into the thin-walled blood vessels of the lungs?
a. Blood fills the lungs and causes coughing.
b. Carbon dioxide is replaced with oxygen.
c. Platelets are exchanged for plasma.

VI. Direction: Read the given problem. Show the possible outcome of the cross by completing the given
Punnett square .

Mang Marcelino owns purebred red cows. In his farm he noticed that after a typhoon several months
ago, all of the fences that separate his cattle from his neighbor’s cattle were destroyed. During the time that
the fences were down, three bulls, one from each neighbor, mingled with his cows. For awhile, he thought that
none of the bulls found his cows, but over the months, he noticed that all of his cows are pregnant. He suspected
that one of the bulls is the father. Which bull is it? Help Mang Marcelino look for the father by solving the given
problem. Determine the possible traits of the cow if:

a. a red (RR) bull is mated with a red (RR) cow 1.
