Answer:

<u>The mouth</u> is the organ involved in ingestion in the digestive system.

Explanation:

Intake of food into the mouth and break down into small pieces there, is the process of the ingestion. In the ingestion process food is taken into the mouth and crushed and broken down into smaller pieces with the help of teeth. The presence of food triggers nervous reflexes to cause the salivary glands to release a fluid saliva. Saliva also softens and provides moisture to the food in the mouth to make it easier to swallow down to esophagus. It helps in digestion of starches to begin, present in food.

Digestion starts in the "mouth" and continues in the stomach. The small intestine completes the digestion process.

What does it mean when a trait is independent from another trait? Give one example.

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

It means one trait does not influence the expression of the other. Example is given in the explanation section.

Explanation:

A trait is the phenotypic characteristics an organism possesses. It is determined and controlled by genes. According to Mendel, an organism receives two forms of every gene called ALLELE. Each allele of a gene encodes a different trait.

Mendel, in his law of independent assortment stated that the inheritance of a trait encoded by the alleles of one gene does not influence the inheritance of another trait encoded by the alleles of another gene. A trait is said to be independent of another if it doesn't influence the expression of the other trait.

An example is the seed colour and seed shape trait in a plant. The seed colour trait is encoded by a certain gene and its expression and inheritance is independent of the seed shape trait encoded by another gene.
