The cartilage formation dividing the trachea and the esophagus is known as epiglottis.

The epiglottis has the function of closing the entrance to the windpipe (pharynx) and lungs, avoiding food from entering those.

The image down below might help you get a better idea of what an epiglottis looks like.

What are some negative effects humans have on wetlands?
saw5 [17]
Wetlands are often drained in many regions to facilitate human use of the land. This happens a lot within the Pairie Provinces of Canada, where wetlands are drained to make way for agriculture. Wetlands are also often drained so as to use the land for building houses. Humans have also altered the flow of rivers through constructing dams and over-abstracting water. In many regions, depressions that would have been flooded in the past to form wetlands are no longer saturated. Wetlands also act as a 'sink' for many pollutants, and much of the pollution released into upstream rivers by humans may settle into the relatively stagnant waters of wetlands, to be absorbed into the sediments, where often it acts as a chronic pollutant, negatively effecting the aquatic ecosystem and water quality downstream.

En el hombre el color negro de los ojos “A” domina sobre el color azul “a” Una pareja en la que el hombre tiene los ojos negros
umka21 [38]

Las respuestas a estas preguntas son:

a) Genotipo del padre Aa (ojos negros)

b) Cruzamiento: Aa (padre) x aa (madre)

c) Frecuencias genotípicas esperadas: 1/2 Aa; 1/2 aa  

En genética, dominancia completa se refiere al proceso  de herencia en la cual un individuo heterocigota, es decir, el individuo que presenta dos alelos diferentes para el mismo gen, presenta el mismo fenotipo que un individuo homo-cigota para el alelo dominante (el alelo dominante es aquel que enmascara la expresión del alelo recesivo en individuos heterocigotas).

En este caso, el carácter 'color de ojos' presenta un patrón de herencia monogénica, donde el alelo 'A' dominante codifica para el rasgo fenotípico ojos negros, mientras que el alelo 'a' recesivo codifica para el rasgo fenotípico ojos azules.  

En el ejemplo, la pareja tuvo progenie en la cual uno de los hijos presenta el rasgo recesivo ojos claros, con lo cual el padre debe ser heterocigota y poseer un alelo recesivo 'a'; mientras que la madre expresa el fenotipo recesivo y por lo tanto su genotipo es 'aa'. En consecuencia, el cruzamiento de un padre heterozigota 'Aa' con una madre homo-cigota recesivo 'aa' producirá una descendencia con una frecuencia genotípica esperada de 1/2 (50%) de hijos con ojos 'color negro' de genotipo Aa y 1/2 (50%) de hijos con ojos 'color celelste' de genotipo aa >>

Cruzamiento: Aa (padre) x aa (madre)

Gametos padre: 1/2 A; 1/2 a

Gametos madre: 100% a

Cuadro de Punett (combinaciones gaméticas):

                  A           a

a               Aa          aa

a               Aa          aa

En consecuencia,  este cruzamiento producirá 50% individuos ojos color negro (genotipo Aa) y 50% individuos con ojos color celelste (genotipo aa)
