_____ 1. The female homologue to the glans of the penis is/are the
- a. labia majora.
- b. labia minora.
- c. clitoris.
- d. vagina.

Introduction:
The reproductive system is comprised of all the sex organs of an organism. The sex organs work in coordination to carry out the sexual reproduction.
Answer to Problem 1DYKB
Correct answer:
The glans penis is homologous to the clitoris. Therefore, option c. is correct.
Explanation of Solution
Reason for the correct statement:
Option c. is given as “clitoris”. The clitoris is homologous to the penis and is formed of two erectile folds known as corpora cavernosa. It receives several nervous and vascular supplies. Both the glans penis and clitoris are comprised of corpora cavernosa.
Hence, option c. is correct.
Reasons for incorrect statements:
Option a. is given as “labia majora”. Labia majora is homologous to the scrotum and is paired covered with pubic hairs on its outer surface. Hence, option a. is incorrect.
Option b. is given as “labia minora”. Labia minora are paired folds of areolar connective tissue, which contain sebaceous glands. It is not homologous to the glans penis. Hence, option b. is incorrect.
Option d. is given as “vagina”. The vagina is fibromuscular tube and is thick-walled. It forms the inferior-most region of the female reproductive tract. It is not homologous to the glans penis. Hence, option d. is incorrect.
Hence, options a., b., and d. are incorrect.
The glans penis is homologous to the clitoris as both the glans penis and clitoris are comprised of the fold of erectile tissue known as corpora cavernosa.

Affected individuals show spots of abnormal skin pigmentation and non-cancerous tumors that can interfere with the nervous system and cause blindness. Some tumors can convert to a cancerous form. i The recessive form is a normal protein - in other words, no neurofibromatosis.moovi A typical pedigree for a family that carries neurofibromatosis is shown below.
