Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Although both males and females develop Adam’s apples, they tend to be more prominent in males. This is because the male larynx generally grows bigger and faster during puberty. A larger larynx explains why males tend to have deeper and louder voices than females.
Detailed explanation-2: -All humans and many animals have an Adam’s apple. It is a thickening of the thyroid cartilage surrounding the larynx – the voice box. It’s just that they are more noticeable in men than in women. That’s partly because men’s necks have more bones than women’s.
