Biology
1 answer:
Alex17521 [72]3 years ago

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.

How the process of natural selection canexplainhow evolution occurs?
harkovskaia [24]
In natural selection, there are three main things you need to know. There must be a variance in the genepool of course, or else to selection or evolution will take place. There also must be a selective force and time. Now, lets say that there is a population of many colored moths. But lets say that the brown colored moth blends in with the environment. This means that predators (selective force in this case) will have a much harder time finding these brown moths instead of easily finding some of the other colored moths (variation). This means that the brown moths will survive at a much higher rate because the are harder to find, and over time, the gene pool will narrow down to just brown moths because the rest of the moths die out due to predators and competition. This also means that this moth species has evolved over time to just become the brown colored moths only. Hope you can understand this but feel free to ask for clarification.
