Kitty [74]

In this case, the plot 1 is very rich in the single species; it is dominated by a particular species, which occupy 95% share. While in the plot 2 are rich in the number of species, it has 5 species occupying 20% share.  

In comparative analysis, it is seen the plot 1 is rich in species, but diversity is very less. While, plot 2 is rich in the diversity of species, as 5 different species are present, but it is not rich in a particular species.

Hence, compared with plot 1, plot 2 has greater species diversity and lower species richness.

If sperm do not exit through the vas, either because the man has had a vasectomy or has not ejaculated, in what region of the te
Setler [38]

The epididymis region of the testis do they remain.

<h3>What about epididymis?</h3>
  • Each testis has a little, tightly coiled tube linked to it (the male sex glands that produce sperm).
  • Male reproductive cells known as sperm travel from the testicles into the epididymis, where they mature and are then stored.
  • The epididymis' most obvious job is to move sperm from the rete testes to the vas deferens.
  • The immature sperm from the testis is received by the tortuously coiled epididymis, which stores it for several days.
  • Sperm is forcibly discharged into the deferent duct during ejaculation from the epididymis' tail.
  • Sperm is transported from the testes and stored in the long, coiled epididymis.
  • It is seen as a curving structure on each testis' posterior (rear) edge. There are three parts to it.

Which is a function of the testes?
myrzilka [38]
