Semen creates a(n)<u>alkaline </u>environment for sperm to safely travel through both the male and female reproductive tracts.
In the field of biology, semen can be described as a white, slippery fluid that is released from the male reproductory organ. Semen is also referred to as the seminal fluid.
The semen of males carries the sperm cells which are required for the fertilization of the female egg. The conditions should be favorable for the process of fertilization to occur.
The natural atmosphere of the vagina of a female is acidic in nature. The sperms need a neutral environment for survival. Hence, the semen is produced alkaline in nature to prolong the lifetime of sperm cells. The alkalinity of the semen neutralizes the acidity of the vagina.

There are four bases found in DNA: adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T). Adenine forms a base pair with thymine, and cytosine forms a base pair with guanine. There is a one-to-one relationship in these base pairings (Chargaff’s rule), which means that if you know the percentage of any one of them within a given DNA sample, you can calculate the percentages of the other three. In this case, you're given the percentage of guanine, and you want to find out the percentage of adenine.
Since guanine base-pairs with cytosine and since there must be as much cytosine as there is guanine, 41% of the bases in this gene are cytosine as well. That means that adenine and thymine <em>together </em>make up the remaining 18% (100% − 41% G − 41% C) of the base pairs. If there must be an equivalence in the number of thymine and adenine bases per Chargaff's rule, then half of the remaining base pairs must comprise adenine and the other half comprise thymine. Half of 18% is 9%.
Thus, adenine makes up 9% of the bases in this gene.
I think C I did some research that one made more sense then all of them I’m not sure tell me if I’m wrong
Answer:
A) True
The polarity of water is what makes it an ideal transport vehicle for nutrients and micronutrients that are water-soluble. Within organisms, water can be used to transport nutrients and even waste from one part of the body to the other. In the case of humans, urine is used to get rid of soluble waste from within the body.
B) True
During the process of photosynthesis, carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) are taken from the air and soil respectively. Oxygen is able to produce water when it is reduced. Hydrogen during this process is oxidized.
C) False
Ice floats on water. Hence it cannot be denser than water. Rather, water is denser than Ice. Because of the structure of hydrogen bonds, when they are iced, the bonds tend to pull apart, thus making ice expand somewhat. This expansion creates microscopic pockets of air in the molecules thus given them buoyancy.
D) True (X)
E) True (X)
F) True
Heat Capacity refers to the amount of heat a substance like water can absorb before it's temperature rises by 1 degree. This property is important, because, were it not for the high specific heat capacity of water, many people and plants would have boiled over.
G True (X)
Heat of vaporization is the kind and amount of energy required to alter one gram of liquid into a gas at boiling point
