Chapter 14, Problem 1TF
Summary Introduction
To examine: Whether the statement “A father’s health can impact the health of a developing fetus” is true or false.
Introduction: Nutrition during pregnancy is essential for the health and development of the fetus. The nutrition intake and proper planning of diet plays an important role in the development of the fetus. The nutrition of fetus starts at conception.

Expert Solution & Answer

Thus, it affects the number and motility of the sperm. Therefore, the father’s health is also significant for the health of the developing fetus. Hence, the given statement is true.
