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.
Answer/Explanation:
<h3>Incomplete dominance</h3>
In incomplete dominance, one allele is not entirely dominant over the other, so heterozygotes (organisms with two different alleles for the gene) show an intermediate or blended phenotype.
For example, consider flower colour.
- If the allele for red flowers (R) was dominant over the allele for white flowers (r), then there are three possible genotypes (RR, Rr, and rr) and two possible phenotypes. (Red (RR and Rr) and white (rr)).
- However, if the allele for red flowers (R) was incompletely dominant over the allele for white flowers (r), then there are three possible genotypes (RR, Rr, rr), and three possible phenotypes (red (RR), white (rr), and pink (Rr))
<h3>Co-dominance</h3>
In incomplete dominance, two alleles are both expressed, one is not dominant over the other. Therefore, heterozygotes (organisms with two different alleles for the gene) express both traits.
For example, consider flower patterns.
- If the allele for spots (F) was dominant over the allele for stripes (f), then there are three possible genotypes (FF, Ff, and ff) and two possible phenotypes. (Spots (Ff and ff) and stripes (ff)).
- However, if the allele for spots (F) was co-dominant to the allele for stripes (f), then there are three possible genotypes (FF, Ff, ff), and three possible phenotypes (spots (FF), stripes (ff), and spots and stripes (Ff))
Answer:
The teeth in the mouth bite off a piece of food.
The teeth continue to break the food into smaller pieces.
Saliva rushes into the mouth and mixes with the broken-down food.
The food travels down the esophagus.
The muscles of the stomach churn the food and continue to break it down.
The broken-down food, called chyme, enters the small intestine.
The remaining food passes into the large intestine. Water is absorbed from the large intestine and the rest of
the material is stored as solid waste until it is excreted from the body.
