Summary Introduction

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.

Conclusion

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.

All organisms need nitrogen in order to grow and repair. Although nitrogen exists in its elemental form in the atmosphere, it cannot be directly used by plants. 7 Where else can plants obtain their nitrogen from? Plants make their own nitrogen. B Plants get it from animals. Plants get it from the soil. D Plants have special structures to break down atmospheric nitrogen. v3.7.63.140.4 | 6763e9417a3dbb80fa0f87b2 | Dec 19, 2024 | 3:07 PM | 84126 | en_8
