Chapter 52, Problem 4A
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The pregnancy results after the fertilization of male and female gametes. During pregnancy, the female experiences the change of hormonal level. The sudden increase of progesterone and estrogen helps in maintaining the pregnancy and also helps in the development of the fetus inside the mother’s womb. During pregnancy, the other hormones like prostaglandin and oxytocin level also increases, which helps with the delivery of the fetus.

- How does sexual differentiation of the brain differ between rodents and primates?A. In rodents it depends on the level of testosterone. In primates it depends on the level of estradiol.B. In rodents it depends on the level of estradiol. In primates it depends on oxytocin.C. In rodents, testosterone must be aromatized to estradiol before it affects developing neurons.D. In primates, testosterone must be aromatized to estradiol before it affects developing neurons.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements clearly describes the difference between embryonic and fetal development? Select one: a. Embryonic development begins during the tenth week of gestation, a time of morphogenesis. b. Organs continue to grow and develop during embryonic development. c. Fetal development begins during the ninth month of gestation, a time of rapid growth. d. Organs continue to grow and develop during fetal development.arrow_forwardWhich of the following correctly identifies the different phases of human development? Select one: a. Weeks 1 to 8 are called the fetal development, and weeks 9 to 39 are called the embryonic development. b. Weeks 1 to 8 are called the embryonic development, and weeks 9 to 39 are called the fetal development. c. The 1st trimester is fertilization and mitosis, and the 2nd and 3rd trimesters involve differentiation. d.

- How does sexual differentiation of the brain differ between rodents and primates? a. In rodents it depends on the level of testosterone. In primates it depends on the level of estradiol. b. In rodents it depends on the level of estradiol. In primates it depends on the level of testosterone. c. In rodents, testosterone must be aromatized to estradiol before it affects developing neurons. d. In primates, testosterone must be aromatized to estradiol before it affects developing neurons.arrow_forwardDuring lactation, the suckling by the baby stimulates the production of oxytocin, which in turn causes contraction of smooth muscles surrounding the milk duct, causing milk flow. The flow of milk increases the suckling by the baby and more oxytocin is produced. A. Identify the feedback system described above. Explain B. What would end the feedback loop?arrow_forwardThe development of a zygote into a baby involves pre-embryonic development for the first 2 weeks, followed by embryonic development for the next 6 weeks, and finally fetal development until the baby is born. When is the developing baby considered a fetus? Select one: a. When all major organ systems have formed b. After the neural tube forms c. Once gastrulation is complete d.

- During morphogenesis, gastrulation does which of the following?A. Gastrulation produces the ectoderm through formation of a blastocyst.B. Gastrulation produces the mesoderm to form the lining of the digestive tract.C. Gastrulation provides the mechanisms whereby cells can form the neural tube.D. Gastrulation produces the endoderm through invagination of the blastula.arrow_forwardWhich statement about menopause is most correct? A. Menopause has to be adaptive because life-history theory predicts that women should not outlive their reproductive capacity, so menopause must have some function. B. Menopause has to be adaptive because humans, not chimpanzees, experience menopause, and humans are evolutionarily more advanced than chimps. C. Several hypotheses for menopause as an adaptation have been proposed, but more evidence is necessary to support any one of them. D. Several hypotheses for menopause as an adaptation have been proposed, but they have not been tested.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements regarding negative feedback is false?a.
