Relaxin
<span>Relaxin, secreted by the corpus luteum of the ovary as well as the placenta, is responsible for helping to inhibit uterine activity and to soften the cervix and the collagen in joints. Softening of the cervix allows for dilatation at birth; softening of collagen allows for laxness in the lower spine and so helps enlarge the birth canal. The effect of estrogen is to cause breast and uterine enlargement. Progesterone has a major role in maintaining the endometrium, inhibiting uterine contractility, and aiding in the development of the breasts for lactation. Human placental lactogen (hPL), also known as human chorionic somatomammotropin, serves as an antagonist to insulin, making insulin less effective, thereby allowing more glucose to become available for fetal growth.</span>
A trait is a characteristic, such as color or size, that is inherited by an offspring from its parents. The genes that control a trait come in pairs, one gene from each parent. We represent these gene pairs by writing a combination of two letters. For example, if one parent contributes a gene for blue eyes (c), and other parent contributes a gene for brown eyes(C), then we write the offspring’s eye color trait as Cc. This combination, of the two genes that determine the trait, is called a genotype. If gene pair contains a dominant allele, the the offspring will show this dominant trait

Explanation:
This question is describing the organelles found in a cell. An organelle is a structure that performs a specific FUNCTION (1) in a cell. There are different kinds of organelles with each possessing its own peculiar function. Some of them are as follows:
- NUCLEUS, which is regarded as the brain of a cell because it directs or controls a cell's activities just like the brain of an organism does.
- MITOCHONDRIA is an organelle that produces the energy storing compound called ATP (adenosine triphosphate), hence, it is called power house of the cell.
- CHLOROPLAST is an organelle found in plant cells that functions in the conversion of light energy (from sun) into GLUCOSE (chemical energy) in a process called PHOTOSYNTHESIS.
- RIBOSOMES is an organelle found in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells that serves as the site of PROTEIN production in a cell.
