The answer is A. The digestion of carbohydrates such as starch begin in the mouth. The enzyme amylase is contained in saliva. The enzyme hydrolyzes starch to sugars by breaking the glycosidic bonds in the starch molecules. The same enzyme is produced by the pancreas breaking the sugars further down to their final elements which is glucose before absorption.

Phenylthiocarbamide (PTC), also known as phenylthiourea (PTU), has the unusual property that it either tastes very bitter or is
tatiyna

Answer:

B. The allele frequency of T is 0.84, and the allele frequency of t is 0.16.

Explanation:

The Hardy-Weinberg equation is:

p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1

Where:

p = the frequency of the dominant allele

q = the frequency of the recessive allele

1 = the total number of alleles

Given that 16 individuals out of 100 are unable to taste PTC, we can calculate that the frequency of the recessive allele, q, is 0.16. We can then use the Hardy-Weinberg equation to solve for the frequency of the dominant allele, p:

p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1

p2 + 2p(0.16) + (0.16)2 = 1

p2 + 0.32p + 0.0256 = 1

p2 + 0.32p - 0.9144 = 0

(p + 0.32)(p - 2.84) = 0

p = -0.32 or p = 2.84

Since the allele frequencies must add up to 1, we know that p cannot equal -0.32. This leaves us with p = 2.84. Therefore, the allele frequency of the dominant allele is 2.84, and the allele frequency of the recessive allele is 0.16.

Begin at the ovaries of susie and the testes of billy.track the processes of ovulation for susie and ejaculation of billy.
Shkiper50 [21]

Ovulation and ejaculation are the processes that involve the release of the female and male gamete  for the process of fertilization.

<u>Ovulation</u>

  • The release of an egg from one of a woman's ovaries is known as ovulation.
  • Ovulation usually lasts for one day and takes place two weeks before a woman anticipates getting her period, in the midst of her menstrual cycle.
  • However, the procedure takes a different amount of time for every woman, and it might even change from month to month.
  • A sperm cell can fertilize an egg when it exits a woman's ovary and enters the fallopian tube.
  • Sperm can survive for three to five days inside a woman's reproductive system.
  • The uterine walls thicken during ovulation in order to accommodate a fertilized egg. On the other hand, if the egg is not fertilized, the uterine lining is lost around two weeks later, which results in menstruation.

<u>Ejaculation</u>

  • Ejaculation, the male reproductive system's discharge of sperm cells and seminal plasma.
  • Sperm are transported from the testicles and the epididymis, where they are stored, to the beginning of the urethra, a hollow tube that runs through the pen!s and transports either sperm or urine.
  • In the second stage, known as the actual ejaculation, the semen is transported through the urethra and expelled from the body.
