Answer:

1) pubis

Explanation:

The pelvic girdle is made up of two hipbones, sacrum and coccyx. The hipbones also called coxal bones has three parts: ilium, ischium, and pubis. Pubis makes the anterior and inferior part of the hip bone. The joint between two pubes of hipbones is called pubic symphysis. Placenta of pregnant women produces more relaxin during later stages of pregnancy to facilitate childbirth. The hormone relaxin increases the flexibility of pubis symphysis to ease the delivery of the baby by dilation of the uterine cervix.

PLEASE HELP ME I RELLAY NEED SOME HELP
RideAnS [48]

Hello!

For background the plant shown is an orchid. Generally, purple is the dominant color and trait within this species and white the recessive allele.

If we use Mendell's Punnett Square we can actually see that together the pair are codominant with one another.

So the answer to your question would be, c. codominant with the allele for the white flower color.

If only one particular color was showing, we could say that one was dominant over the other. However, due to the fact that both traits show, that means they are codominant ! As recessive genes will not show under the presence of a dominant gene.

Hope this helps answer your question!
