Genes

Segments of Dna transferred from parent to offspring are called genes.

Genes are small segments of DNA that codes for a certain molecule, usually a protein that has a function, and is required in an organism. The main function of genes is to store information. Genes are transferred from parent to offspring, and are responsible for determining some characteristics such as skin, and hair color of the offspring. Genes occur in different or alternate forms, known as alleles.

What structure keeps food from entering the larynx during swallowing?
Anika [276]
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.

Verizon [17]

Answer:

May be of the environment they live or genetics.

Explanation:

This naked mole rat species evolved back to an ectothermic life style rather than staying endothermic like all other mammals because of the environment they live or change in the genetic makeup. The main reason for this evolution may be the environmental they lives or through the change in genetic makeup of this naked mole rat species so both factors can contribute in the evolution.
