What are the functions of the larynx and how does it carry out them on a daily basis?

The larynx is an nicknamed the "voice box" because it holds the vocal cords inside. It helps change the pitch and volume of our voices as we speak. It is the only part of the body capable of doing this job, so we don't ever want it removed. Our voices would be much more monotone sounding. The larynx connects the pharynx to the trachea in the neck. It is also capable of allowing air through for us to breathe, but does not let anything (food or drink) block the airway. This is obviously a daily function since we eat and drink numerous times daily and usually have no problems breathing while eating and drinking. This is thanks to the larynx.

Hope this helps! :)

A scientist focusing on the evolutionary history of specific significant traits is engaged in cladistics.

Cladistics is a method of biological classification in which organisms (plants and animals) are grouped based upon shared significant derived characteristics (synapomorphies). Cladistics identifies various significant shared traits that can be traced to the most recent common ancestor of a group of species and that are not found in more distant groups and ancestors. Cladistics uses various anatomical, molecular and genetic characteristics of organisms.

Answer:

1/4

Explanation:

Given that the F2 cross produces offspring according to the expected 9:3:3:1 ratio.

YyRr X YyRr:

Let us break the dihybrid cross into individual monohybrid crosses.

Yy X Yy :

Y y

Y YY Yy

y Yy yy

2/4 or 1/2 of the offspring are heterozygous for the trait.

Similarly, in Rr X Rr cross, 1/2 of the offspring are heterozygous for the trait.

Together, 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4 of F2 plants are expected to be heterozygous for both traits.
