What technology would enable a fetus born in the fourth month to survive in a laboratory setting? (This is not yet possible.)
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?

- In the fertility awareness method of birth control, a woman gauges her monthly fertile period by monitoring changes in the consistency of her vaginal mucus. What kind of information does such a method provide about the likelihood of getting pregnant?arrow_forwardIt is no mystery how harmful a lot of environmental factors can be on a fetus nor is it misunderstood how important proper prenatal care is during pregnancy. Despite this, we have seen that many people do not receive the recommended care and children are still born with birth defects due to preventable teratogens. explain how you could reduce or eliminate these negative consequences.arrow_forwardWhat are some examples of genetic conditions and teratogens thatcause birth defects?arrow_forward

Retinoic acid is also a known teratogen which can cause congenital anomalies in eyes, ears, hearts, lungs, limbs, and many other organ systems.
