Epiglottis
The epiglotis is what allows you to swallow food without inhaling it. It acts as a gateway between the digestive and respiratory systems
During week 2 of the menstrual cycle (day 8 to day 14 or
ovulation), estrogen levels rise until it reaches its peak. Typically, days
12-14 have the highest levels of estrogen, which causes an increase in Luteinizing Hormone, which is responsible for the release of the egg cell. If
hormone levels fail to reach its peak before day 14, ovulation is not possible
because the egg cannot be released. Pregnancy may be highly unlikely.
Molecules produced in the nucleus are transported to the cytoplasm via ribosomes.
Monoploid organisms reproduce asexually since they need to transmit all of their genetic material to their offspring. Diploid organisms, have 2 copies of their genetic material that differ slightly in their genes. Since the progeny gets half of the DNA from each parent, we have that new combinations can emerge; for example, if the mother is AA for some allele and the father aa, their offspring will be Aa, a new genotype. This might have different implications (for example, the recessive gene for thalassemia also provides resistance to malaria). Finally, during meiosis, there is also an event called crossover that increases the genetic variation of the offspring.
