Answer:

The correct answer is true.

Explanation:

Swallowing of food is the process of passing the food from the mouth to the stomach through the way of the throat (pharynx) and esophagus. This process takes place in three stages:  oral, pharyngeal, and esophageal stages  

During the pharyngeal stage, epiglottis which is a leaf-shaped flap of cartilage located at top of the larynx (a muscular organ forming voice box) perform functions in response to the swallowed food as the larynx lift up or rises inside the neck to close the epiglottis while the epiglottis moves downward to cover it, providing more airway protection.

Thus, true is the correct answer.

A species of fly has two alleles for the length of their legs. The allele for long
stira [4]

Answer:

According to Hardy Weinberg law (p+q)2=1 where p is fequency of one allele and q is the frequency of another allele.

According the question

 q represent the short legs and 33 of 100 organism have short legs.

   As a result the frequency of q with respect to the 100 organism is 33/100

                                                                                                                  =0.33

Therefore q=0.33

 we all know that

            (p+q)2=1

             ∴  p+q= 1

             ∴  p=1-q

               p= 1-0.33

                   p=0.67

The frequency of p is 0.67
