- QUESTION 3 What causes the Wolffian duct to develop into male reproductive structures? This will happen in the absence of anti-Wolffian hormone This will happen in the absence of estrogens This will happen in the presence of high levels of androgens This is the default pathwayarrow_forwardAt one time, if a farmer wanted to improve his or her cattle herd, he or she would have to buy an expensive bull from another farmer who had a herd proven to show desirable characteristics. Now, semen from bulls with desirable characteristics can be shipped all over the world to help farmers improve their herds. Use the Internet to learn more about the use of artificial insemination (AI) as a cattle-breeding option. (a) What are the primary advantages and disadvantages of using AI to breed cattle? (b) How popular is AI as a breeding method for the beef and dairy industry?arrow_forwardIn January 2009, Natalie Suleman successfully gave birth to octuplets and became known as Octomom. She already had 6 children, and all 14 of her children were conceived via in vitro fertilization (IVF). IVF involves removing eggs from the ovary, fertilizing them with sperm in a petri dish, and transferring the resulting embryos back into a uterus to develop. It is common for two or three embryos to be transferred into the uterus of a woman undergoing IVF to increase the chances of at least one of them surviving. When Ms. Suleman became pregnant with her octuplets, Dr. Kamrava had transferred 12 embryos. His license was revoked in 2011.Multiple eggs are required for IVF to produce functional embryos because some eggs are not fertilized or do not develop normally after fertilization. Which of the following hormones would be used to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs? Select one: a. Testosterone b. FSH c. Progesterone d. Estrogenarrow_forward
- Recall what you learned in class about the experiments that examined the effect of early treatment with hormones on adult reproductive behavior. Match the following behavioral outcomes with each of the manipulations in the questions below. Each answer may be used more than once. An XY animal is castrated (gonadectomized) at birth and treated with testosterone the same day and the next day. What reproductive behavior, if any will this animal show when treated with testosterone as an adult? An XY animal is castrated (gonadectomized) at birth and treated with estradiol the same day and the next day. What reproductive behavior, if any will this animal show when treated with estradiol and progesterone as an adult? An XX animal is not surgically manipulated, but is treated with testosterone on the day of its birth and the day…arrow_forwardWhat defines our biological sex? What is the distinction between genetic and anatomical sexuality? Explain how chromosomes influence the internal and outward development of the sexual anatomy (hormones and structures). Is there always a correlation between genetic and anatomical sex? What is the reason, or why not? Describe a situation or disorder in which the internal and exterior sexual anatomy of a person do not match and explain how this would occur. Describe how a binary (male/female) model of sex does not reflect reality. What would a more accurate model look like?arrow_forwardThe graph above shows the estrogen and progesterone levels of an individual during a menstrual cycle of 28 days.
