Textbook Question
Chapter 27, Problem 18TYK
Should parents undergoing in vitro fertilization have the right to choose which embryos to implant based on genetic criteria, such as the presence or absence of disease-causing genes? Should they be able to choose based on the sex of the embryo? How could you distinguish acceptable from unacceptable criteria? Do you think such options should be legislated?

Which of the following is not true about neurulation? Choose all possible answers.
a. Segregation of neural ectodermal rudiment from the epidermal ectoderm.
b. In primary neurulation, the neural plate thickens along its midline into a solid cord of cells that is displaced internally and cavitates to form a hollow tube.
c. In secondary neurulation, the neural plate folds along the anterior-posterior axis of the embryo, forming a tube that detaches from, and is displaced under, the epidermal ectoderm.
d. Ectoderm forms the neural tube
e. Mesoderm forms the reproductive organs
f. Endoderm forms the gut

- Suppose that in the near future, you are a prenatal care provider. In the most recent ultrasound checkup on the expecting mother, you unfortunately found that the fetus is suffering a neural tube defect in the form of anencephaly. Seeing as the mother is still in the 12th week of pregnancy or the 1st trimester, the pregnancy can still be terminated via medical means. How would you explain to the parents the situation they are in?arrow_forwardIn creating male contraceptives, what steps in fertilization might be possible to block to produce contraceptives in males?arrow_forwardWhat are implants?

- Should fertility clinics be required to disclose all the risks of ART to couples seeking fertility treatments? Are state and/or federal laws the best way to achieve this?arrow_forwardThe development of sex and gender is a good example of a developmental cascade because: Group of answer choices Although having an X and a Y chromosome at conception typically leads to the development of testes during prenatal development, this may not lead to typical male genitalia if certain hormones are present later in development Two people may have the same gonads early in prenatal development but end up with different external genitalia and gender identities as a result of differences in the prenatal environment All of the options listed here are correct Having two X chromosomes at conception typically leads to the development of ovaries during prenatal development, which typically leads to high levels of estrogen in puberty, which typically leads to a female gender identity in adulthoodarrow_forwardWhy Contraceptive implants are used ?arrow_forward
