Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Semen is characterized by the presence of several components, including spermatozoa (if the individual is not azoospermic) and various enzymes. One of the seminal enzymes is prostate-specific antigen (PSA), also known as p30. The presence of p30 is a common marker used in forensic testing to indicate the presence of semen. Therefore, the statement that semen will typically not contain the enzyme p30 is false, as p30 is indeed a component typically found in semen.
