approach to touchdown - pitching and trimming

Greetings!

Was wondering if somebody could help me out with following clarification

When an aircraft, lets say 737NG enters into final approach from about 20NM at an altitude of 3,000ft at about 175KIAS and on a CAT 1

- Does the pitch nose-angle go negative or is it straight? and the descend is done by a combination of elevator trimming, lift dumpers ?

- is only nose up or positive pitch happens at the flaring?

simply what am asking is on final approach to touch down what is the attitude of the pitch angle?

I know depending on above or below glide slope the pitching can be changed, but in this instance I am assuming the plane is at the correct glide slope!

Thanks a lot!
