Chapter 7, Problem 2CTS
Summary Introduction
To write:
If it is right to search for graduate donors for sperms.
The consequences related to focusing on graduate donors.
Introduction:
The genes are responsible for the different types of characters in humans. Some of the conditions are completely determined by the genes and some of the traits are affected by both genes and the environment. The sperm plays an important role in determining the trait, as it contributes 50% of the child's genes.

what is the perspective on the stem cell debate regarding donation of surplus embryos to couples for “embryo adoption.”
What values are at odds in the controversy about the use of fetal stem cells in research?
Two groups of participants read a description of a person called Mark, who was described as shy, introverted and good at mathematics. They were asked how likely each of the following statements were: a) That Mark is male; and b) That Mark is male and works as a software engineer. The group rated b) as more likely than a). In reality a) is more likely than b) because given his name, Mark has a very high probability of being a man. The combined probability of him being both a man and a software engineer must of course be lower.
Why did the participants make this mistake, and what does this tell us about the way in which human beings make judgements about people

- On average, Black Americans have shorter life expectancies than White Americans. Which of the following contributes to this difference? A. In recent years, alcohol and opioid abuse have had the biggest impact on life expectancies for Black Amerians relative to any other racial or ethnic groups. B. Black Americans are more likely to have regualr cancer screenings and so have a higher recorded incidence of cancer. C. The youngest generations of Black American are less health than older generations, so health amoung Black Americans has been getting worse over time. D. Black Americans ten to receive lower-quality care and spend less time with medical practitioners than White Americans do.arrow_forwardWe discussed some of the ways that human blood can be separated into groups (e.g. ABO system, rh system). Research one additional blood group type NOT discussed in the lecture. Be sure to include the different allele options, what determines the blood groups, and mention the distribution of the different blood groups across human populations. If applicable, discuss any relationship between the blood group and human health. Be sure to copy/paste the links to any sources you used in your research.arrow_forwardWhy the issue of abortion is absolutely neglected by geneticists??arrow_forward
- In the section on Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, we discussed that the typical advice given to pregnant women is that the only safe level of alcohol consumption is no consumption at all. However, although the evidence is clear that a mother’s heavy consumption is dangerous to the fetus, the effects, if any, of light alcohol consumption on the fetus are far more ambiguous. In view of the current state of knowledge, do you think it is ethical to give blanket, prescriptive-like advice to women to not drink alcohol if they are pregnant? In considering your answer, consult the articles by Gavaghan (2009), Kelly et al. (2009), and Murray et al. (2016).arrow_forward1.a) Ama’s mother uses the Authoritarian parental style.
