Answer AND Explanation:

MALES

Testes: they are oval shaped structures that produce the male gametes and sex hormone called testosterone.

Seminiferous tubules: tubules where spermatogenesis occurs.

Vas deferens: are tubules which lead to the epididymis.

Epididymis: is along, coiled tube for storage of sperms. it contraction and relaxation pushes sperms out and allows ejaculation through the urethra.

Accessory glands like the seminal vesicles, cowper's gland and prostate gland produce seminal fluid that provides a nutrient medium for sperms to swim in.

Scrotum: contains the testes outside the body.

FEMALES

Ovary: these are oval-shaped structures that produce female gametes and sex hormones.

Oviduct: these are hollow structures with an expanded funnel-shaped opening which accepts the released ovum and directs it to the fallopian tube. Fertilization takes place in the oviduct  forming zygote.

Uterus: has an inner layer called endometrium which becomes folded and  vascularised to allow implantation. The endometrium nourishes the embryo..

Cervix: is a muscular ring between the uterus and the vagina. It secretes a plug of mucus, which prevents entry of pathogens and air

The vagina is a muscular copulatory canal into which penis enters. Vagina also allows passage of foetus during parturition.

Norepinephrine, serotonin, and dopamine are all examples of _______.A. bodily humors. B. synaptic clefts.
Hatshy [7]

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

A.bodily humors. B.synaptic clefts. C.neurotransmitters. D.growth hormones.

Answer:

The correct answer will be option- C

Explanation:

Neurotransmitters are the chemicals released from the neurons at the synaptic junctions which helps in the transmission of the electrical impulse from one neuron to another.

The dopamine, serotonin and nor-epinephrine are the biogenic forms of neurotransmitters which are synthesized from the precursors of the amino acids. These neurotransmitters are produced in producing different functions in the body.

Thus, option- C is the correct answer.

if there were no suppression of dna replication between meiotic divisions but cytokinesis proceeded normally, what is the most l
sergiy2304 [10]
The answer is 4 diploid cells.

Meiosis is a cell division which results in the reduction of chromosome number by half - from diploid to haploid - in daughter cells. It consists of meiosis I and meiosis II. Meiosis I produces <em>two haploid cells</em>.<span> Meiosis II is analogous to mitosis, so in total, meiosis results in four haploid cells. This is achieved through suppression of DNA replication between two meiotic divisions.
If there were no </span><span>suppression of DNA replication, then meiosis I would produce <em>two diploid cells</em>, and after meiosis II there will be four diploid cells.</span>
