The Prostate gland
The prostate is a walnut-sized organ that surrounds the
first part of the urethra. It is located between the bladder and the penis. Semen
is formed by the prostate by combining a thick white fluid it initially produced
with the sperm from the testicles. It also produces an antibiotic protein known
as prostate-specific antigen (PSA) that changes the semen into liquid.
Genes in DNA or responsible for the traits an organism has. This is caused by Dominant and Recessive Traits. Remember that Genotypes are the genetic letters such as RR, Rr, and rr. Phenotype is physical traits.
Dominant Traits are more likely or always show in the offspring. The Dominant Genotype uses Capital letters such as RR.
Recessive Traits are less likely to show up. Their Genotype use lower case such as rr. Now genotypes of Rr have one dominant trait and one recessive trait. If the dominant trait was black fur and the recessive white fur, the offspring will be black fur because dominant traits overpower the other.
To understand how to know if an organism will have Dominant or Recessive Genes, you have to use something called a Punnet Square. Lets imagine 2 parents both have the genotype Rr. R is Black fur and r is white fur. As you can see from the chart, 3 of 4 boxes have Rr and 1 rr. Since there is a Dominant Trait with a Recessive, they will show a Dominant Phenotype, or Black fur. This has 3/4 chance and a 1/4 chance for white fur in the offspring.

Answer:
The U.S. government protects fish, a common resource, by selling fishing licenses and regulating fish lengths
Explanation:
When there is regulation about a particular goods, it reduces the rate the availability of such goods is abused, US government could actually protect fish through licensing and regulation of the type to be sold including there length which ensures the protection of the juvenile.
The correct answer is it always occurs in a predictable pattern.
Ecological successsion is defined as a <em>change in the structure of species of an ecological community over a period of tim</em>e. The succession that begins in a new environment by uninfluence of pre-existing species is called primary succession. The disruption of pre-existing community because of succession is called secondary succession. Ecological succession happens in a predictable pattern. The ecological communities undergoes predictable change which creates a disturbance or initial formation of new habitat. This changes occurs in an orderly manner and can be best explained by the example of trees how they grow bigger and bigger.
Answer: The greenhouse gas emissions from the extraction of bitumen and the use of large quantities of water.
Explanation:
Bitumen is a natural flammable organic matter formed from kerogen in the process of petroleum generation, which is soluble in carbon disulfide. Asphalt and mineral wax are examples of hydrocarbons which are part of bitumen. Conventional oil is extracted by wells while <u>oil sands deposits are extracted using surface mining sectioning techniques, or are flowed to wells by in situ techniques that reduce bitumen viscosity by steam and/or solvents.</u> So, unlike crude oil extracted in oil wells, bitumen requires an open-pit mining operation, in which large tracts are washed with a mixture of water and chemicals to separate the bitumen from a mixture of sand and clay.
Two consequences of this practice are:
- The greenhouse gas emissions from the extraction of bitumen are larger than the extraction of conventional oil. The emissions produced contribute to enhance the greenhouse effect and cause global warming. The greenhouse effect occurs when certain gases retain part of the energy emitted by the earth's soil when heated by the sun's radiation. This phenomenon occurs naturally, and thanks to it, the average temperature of the Earth is about 14º C (57.2 °F). The problem occurs when these greenhouse gases increase in the atmosphere and the amount of energy that is not released into space also increases and, with it, the Earth's temperature.
- The extraction of bitumen from oil sands requires the use of large quantities of water, and even though water used here can be recycled, only a small amounts is returned to the natural cycle. Also, spills from the transportation of the oil could damage soils and waterways, increasing water pollution. This toxic water could get into surface.
