What structure keeps food from entering the larynx during swallowing?

Biology
1 answer:
Anika [276]3 years ago
7 0
The swallowing mechanism consists of three stages, beginning with the oral phase that begins in the mouth. The second stage, called the pharyngeal phase, triggers the swallowing reflex that moves food through the throat, or pharynx. During the pharyngeal phase, the larynx closes and breathing stops while food begins to move through the throat to the esophagus. The closing of the larynx is accomplished by the epiglottis. During the third stage, food is moved down the esophagus to the stomach.

Let p = purple flowers and p = white, and t = tall plants and t = dwarf. if the uppercase letters represent the dominant alleles
sesenic [268]

If the uppercase letters represent the dominant alleles, purple flowers and tall are the phenotype of a plant with the genotype Pptt.

A gene can exist in different forms across organisms. These different forms are known as alleles.

The subsequent combination of alleles that an individual possesses for a specific gene is their genotype.  

Examples of  genotype include:

  • Hair colour
  • Height
  • Shoe size
  • Eye colour

The sum of an organism’s observable characteristics is their phenotype. A key difference between phenotype and genotype is that, whilst genotype is inherited from an organism’s parents, the phenotype is not.

Whilst a phenotype is influenced the genotype, genotype does not equal phenotype. The phenotype is influenced by the genotype and factors including:

  • Epigenetic modifications
  • Environmental and lifestyle factors

Observing the phenotype is simple – we take a look at an organism’s outward features and characteristics, and form conclusions about them. Observing the genotype, however, is a little more complex.

Genotyping is the process by which differences in the genotype of an individual are analyzed using biological assays. The data obtained can then be compared against either a second individual’s sequence, or a database of sequences.

What kind of evidence would be needed in order to change any part of cell theory?
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

In order to change any part of the cell theory, we will have to prove that the cells are not the basic unit of life. We will have to provide evidence that a cell does not distinguish a living thing from a non-living thing. We will either have to prove the spontaneous generation to be true or have to prove that if not cells, then what are the basic units of life. We will also need evidence to prove that a cell does not arise from a pre-existing cell.
