sperm is made in the seminiferous tubles in the testes. They are stored in the epididymis for 18 hours to mature. They would then travel up through the vas deferens, picking up fluids from the seminal vesicles, prostate, and bulbourethral gland. It then goes through the urethra and exits the body through the top of the penis

Why can't a man urinate and ejaculate?

How many eggs are women born with and how many will she use in her life?
4 million, at puberty only 20,000 in each ovary-she will use only 400

Where must the egg be fertilized and why?
in the upper part of the fallopian tube, because the trip to the uterus take 5-7 days and the egg is alive for only 24 hours

What are the 4 stages of the menstrual cycle and briefly-what happens at each stage?
the menstrual cycle is the process by which a mature egg develops and leaves the ovaries. 1) follicle stage- egg starts to mature in the follicle and uterine lining grows 2) ovulation-about 14th day egg is released from the follicle 3) Corpus luteum stage-empty follicle makes progesterone to keep uterine wall growing 4)menstruation-the unfertilized egg and lining if the uterus pass from the body

How often does ovulation occur?
once a month, about every 28 days

When does the menstrual cycle begin?
puberty

When does the menstrual cycle permanently stop?
menopause (45-52)

What happens to an egg after if it has been fertilized?
it travels down to the uterus and implants

What happens to an egg after if it has not been fertilized?
it passes from the body with the lining of the uterus

Why does the menstrual cycle stop during pregnancy?
progesterone is produced that keeps the uterine wall intact. This process causes the egg not to be matured in the follicle

What is pregnancy?
begins on implantation-when an organism contains unborn young

What is ectopic pregnancy?
when the embryo implants somewhere else besides the uterus

What is the follicle?
egg sac in the ovary-where the egg will mature

What is implantation?

If a problem with RNA interference is caused by a failure of the target mRNA to be cleaved and degraded, but all other steps in
cricket20 [7]

Answer: D- Dicer

Explanation:

Dicer, also known as endoribonuclease Dicer or helicase with RNase motif, is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the DICER1 gene. Being part of the RNase III family, Dicer cleaves double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) and pre-microRNA (pre-miRNA) into short double-stranded RNA fragments called small interfering RNA and microRNA, respectively. These fragments are approximately 20-25 base pairs long with a two-base overhang on the 5' ends. Dicer facilitates the activation of the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), which is essential for RNA interference. RISC has a catalytic component Argonaute, which is an endonuclease capable of degrading messenger RNA (mRNA).
