Answer:

Peristalsis is the right answer.

Explanation:

Peristalsis is a set of wave-like brawn tensing that transfers food to various processing channels in the digestive tract. The method of peristalsis occurs in the esophagus while a bolus of the meal is consumed. The powerful wave-like movements of the soft muscle in the esophagus bring the food to the stomach, where it is mixed into a watery mixture known as chyme.

Why does each offspring get 2 alleles for a trait?

balu736 [363]

During meiosis, chromosome pairs are split apart and distributed into cells called gametes. Each gamete contains a single copy of every chromosome, and each chromosome contains one allele for every gene. Therefore, each allele for a given gene is packaged into a separate gamete.
