Answer:

Please find the explanation below

Explanation:

Gregor Mendel (1822 - 1884) who is referred to as the FATHER OF GENETICS was an Austrian monk that contributed immensely to the principle of inheritance. He worked and conducted several experiments with the pea plant (Pisium sativum).

Mendel inheritance explains how traits are passed down from parents to offsprings. Mendel proposed three laws that governs inheritance namely: law of dominance, law of segregation and law of independent assortment of genes. The law of dominance states that one allele of a gene will always mask the phenotypic expression of another allele of the same gene in a heterozygous state.

The masking allele is called DOMINANT ALLELE while the allele being masked is called RECESSIVE ALLELE.

The ________ duct empties into the vestibule at the level of the second upper molar.

gavmur [86]

The parotid duct empties into the vestibule at the level of the second upper molar.

Around the back of your lower jaw is where the parotid gland is located. Saliva then passes via a tube known as the parotid duct. The duct's opening is where the saliva spills into your mouth. Different factors might cause the parotid duct to become clogged. The region may swell up as a result of this.

Each gland's front faces a lengthy excretory channel called the parotid duct, which emerges just beneath the masseter muscle. The duct enters the mouth by the buccinator muscle and opens on the inner cheek surface, typically next to the maxillary second tooth
