The placenta is connected to the embryo through an umbilical cord which helps in the transport of substances to and from the embryo. Placenta also acts as an endocrine tissue and produces several hormones like human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), human placental lactogen (hPL), estrogens, progestogens, etc. In the later phase of pregnancy, a hormone called relaxin is also secreted by the ovary. Amongst these hCG, hPL and relaxin are produced in women only during pregnancy. In addition, during pregnancy the levels of other hormones like estrogens, progestogens, cortisol, prolactin, thyroxine, etc., are increased several folds in the maternal blood.

Assume that a Cupid's bow lip (C) is dominant over a lip with an undefined Cupid's bow (c). If the father is homozygous recessive with an undefined Cupid's bow, and the mother is heterozygous with a Cupid's bow, what is the probability of their offspring getting a Cupid's bow? Assume that a lion (L) and a zebra (Z) breed together. A reproduction between these two organisms may cause an offspring known as the liger, through incomplete dominance. If a liger (LZ) and a lion (LL) breed together, what phenotypes may result? What is the possibility that a liger would be an offspring?
