Answer:

Epiglottis

Explanation:

The epiglottis is a leaf like structure tat rests above the voice box/larynx and its main function is to seal off the windpipe during eating, so that food is not accidentally inhaled down the wind pipe. When water goes down the wrong pipe, it goes down the windpipe instead of the oesophagus resulting in water going to your lungs which causes the coughing as a protective reflex to clear the windpipe

In pea plants, smooth (S) peas are dominant over wrinkled (s) peas in the single gene controlling pea texture. A plant with smoo
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

Ss and ss

Explanation:

<em>Since the smooth trait (S) is dominant over the wrinkle trait (s), the genotype of the wrinkled pea parent is definitely </em><em>ss</em><em>.</em>

<em>Also, some of the progeny had wrinkled pea texture (ss). Each of the 2 wrinkled alleles must have been donated by each of the parent. It thus means that the smooth pea parent is heterozygous for the trait (</em><em>Ss</em><em>).</em>

Now, let us look at a cross between the two parents;

  Ss   x   ss

Progeny: Ss, Ss, ss, ss.

Phenotypically, 50% of the progeny are smooth peas while 50% are wrinkled.

Looking at the population of each of the phenotype resulting from the cross. 252:247 is approximately a 50:50 ratio.

Hence, the genotypes of the two parents are Ss and ss.
