Textbook Question
Chapter 41, Problem 10TYU
SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY In human populations of northern European origin, the disorder called hemochromatosis causes excess iron uptake from food and affects one in 200 adults. Among adults, men are ten times as likely as women to suffer from iron overload. Taking into account the existence of a menstrual cycle in humans, propose a hypothesis that explains this difference.

In terms of the frequency of its effects and its cost to society, the most devastating human teratogen is undoubtedly ethanol. However, not all human babies that are exposed to alcohol while in the womb develop Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS). Describe three reasons why not all babies exposed to alcohol develop FAS.
Sperm whales have a specialized spermaceti organ in their head cavities filled with wax cetyl palmitate (C15H31COOC16H33). Explain what is the purpose of this organ in sperm whales.
Human chronic gonadotrophin (hCG) hormone produced by the fertilized egg in order to maintain elevated levels of estrogen and progesterone. hCG is also used to induce ovulation during IVF procedures and is known to stimulate the production of testosterone in the testes.

- Chlamydia is caused by the bacteria Chlamydia trachomatis. If not treated, it can cause pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in women and epididymitis in men. PID can cause scar tissues in the structure responsible for transporting the fertilized egg and in the tissue that is maintained by progesterone during a menstrual cycle, leading to infertility. In the diagram above, the structures associated with PID for the effects described above are numbered Select one: a. 1, which is the Fallopian tube, and 3, which is the endometrium, respectively b. 1, which is the Fallopian tube, and 4, which is the endometrium, respectively c. 4, which is the uterus, and 6, which is the cervix, respectively d. 3, which is the uterus, and 7, which is the cervix, respectivelyarrow_forwardMate guarding is an evolved response to sperm competition. Chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) females regularly mate with several males in the same estrous cycle, whereas gorilla (Gorilla gorilla) females almost never do, since they typically live in bands, each controlled by a single, powerful male. How large (as a proportion of body size) should the testes of chimpanzee males be relative to gorilla testes (Harcourt et al. 1981)? If the testes of men are more similar to those of chimpanzees, what would this tell us about the intensity of sperm competition during our evolutionary past? If, on the other hand, human testes resemble those of gorillas, what conclusion is justified? Please don't write from any online source.arrow_forwardSuppose, in an experiment, that you incubate isolated rat testes with hCG. What would be the effect, ifany, of the hCG on the testes? Explain your answer. If there was an effect, discuss its potential significance in research and clinical settings.arrow_forward
- A friend of yours wants to better understand the difference between estrous and menses in mammals. Which answer below would provide a good way of explaining the main difference? O only menstrual cycles are affected by seasonal changes throughout the year O copulation normally occurs across the estrous cycle, whereas in menstrual cycles copulation only occurs during the period surrounding ovulation O the endometrium shed by the uterus during the estrous cycle is reabsorbed with no extensive fluid flow out of the body, whereas the shed endometrium of menstrual cycles is excreted from the body O behavioral changes during estrous cycles are much less apparent than those of menstrual cycles MacBook Proarrow_forwardCyclic GMP (cGMP) is a molecule that causes dilation of arteries. Cyclic GMP is normally broken down in the body by enzymes called phosphodiesterases. The drug sildenafil citrate (brand name: Viagra) blocks a phosphodiesterase enzyme in the penis. Use this information and what you know about penile erection to explain how Viagra works as a treatment for men who have difficulty maintaining an erection.arrow_forwardGive written answer with explanation and conclusionarrow_forward
- In some cultures, eunuchs were responsible for guarding harems,which are the collective wives of one male. Eunuchs are males whowere castrated as boys. Castration removes the testes, the major site oftestosterone production in males. Because testosterone is responsiblefor the sex drive in males, the reason for castration is obvious. Asa side effect of this procedure, the eunuchs grew to above-normalheights. Can you explain why?arrow_forwardGive typing answer with explanation and conclusion Why wouldn't the Human ears, human heart, and valtar adrenals phenotype be 0% if that mix is lethal embryonically?arrow_forwardBiology Pick the CORRECT answer and describe WHY it is the correct response. Next, provide a reason why EACH of the other answer options is INCORRECT. Include specific examples to demonstrate your explanations where possible. 1. The function of follicle stimulating hormone is to stimulate the development of Corpus luteum Uterine endometrium Ova and sperm Secondary sex characteristics 2. The onset of menses (menstruation) is initiated by a(an) Rise in luteinizing hormone Rise in prostaglandins Fall in gonadotropic releasing hormone Fall in estrogen and progesterone 3. The primary source of testosterone is the Prostate gland Testes Anterior pituitary Adrenal cortex 4. Under the influence of androgens Red blood cell production is suppressed Spermatogenesis is suppressed Muscle mass gradually decreases Sebaceous gland activity increases.arrow_forward
- Endometriosis is a disorder in which endometrial cells implant and proliferate outside of the uterus—in the uterine tubes, on the ovaries, or even in the pelvic cavity. Offer a theory as to why endometriosis increases a woman’s risk of infertilityarrow_forwardInfertility is defined as the inability to get pregnant despite having frequent, unprotected sex for at least a year. In trying to discover the cause of a female patient’s infertility, her doctor ordered an analysis of circulating hormone levels every day during her 28-day reproductive cycle. Her progesterone levels started very close to zero ng/mL on the first day and remained there throughout her entire 28-day cycle. Based on these results, and your understanding of progesterone, explain why this female is unlikely to achieve a successful pregnancyarrow_forwardQUESTION 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_forward
