The answer is oropharynx. The reason for this type of epithelium in this region of the respiratory tract is due to its proximity to the esophagus. This means that this region of the respiratory tract is subject to abrasion by food passing down the esophagus. This epithelium is continuous with that of the esophagus.

Answer:

Oropharynx

Explanation:

Oropharynx communicates with the mouth through the isthmus of the throat. It is a small space in the oral cavity between the root of the tongue, the soft palate and the epiglottis. It is the only portion of the oral cavity corresponding to a real cavity. The epithelial laryngeal lining is characterized by a non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium.

When a male pig from a line of true-breeding (homozygous) black, solid-hooved pigs was crossed to a female from
natita [175]

Answer:

When a male pig from a line of true-breeding (homozygous) black, solid-hooved pigs was crossed to a female from a breed (homozygous) of red, cloven-hooved pigs, their several progeny all looked alike with regard to color and hooves. These progeny were all mated to members of the same breed as their red, cloven-hooved mother pig. The offspring from this final cross were: 11 black, cloven-hooved; 8 black, solid-hooved; 14 red, cloven-hooved; and 10 red, solid-hooved. For each of these two genes (coat color and hoof type) determine which allele is the dominant one. Explain your reasoning. What were the phenotypes of the progeny produced by the first mating in this problem.

In the human brain, a great deal of synaptic pruning occurs in early childhood. This pruning appears to be:_______.
Alex

Answer: D. An adaptive process that allows children to deal more efficiently with their environment.

Explanation:

Synaptic pruning is a natural process between early childhood and adulthood which occurs in the brain. The brain removes the extra synapses during synaptic pruning. Synapses are brain structures that allow the neurons to transmit to another neuron an electrical or chemical signal.  

Synaptic pruning is thought to help the brain transition from adolescence, when it can quickly learn and make new connections, to adulthood, when it is much more stable in its structure, but can concentrate on a single question for longer and conduct more complex thinking processes. Synaptic pruning make brain more adaptive to the external environment in early ages.

Hence, the correct option is D. An adaptive process that allows children to deal more efficiently with their environment.
