A friend in your dormitory, a freshman, tells you that she just discovered she is 3 months pregnant. You know that since she came to college she has been experimenting with recreational drugs. Circle the best advice you could give her, and explain your choice. (a) She must stop taking the drugs, but they could not have affected her fetus during these first few months of her pregnancy. (b) Harmful substances usually cannot pass from mother to embryo, so she can keep using drugs. (c) There could be defects in the fetus, so she should stop using drugs and visit a doctor as soon as possible. (d) If she has not taken any drugs in the last week, she is OK.

- Darcy and Raul are having difficulty conceiving a child. Darcy ovulates every 28 days, and Raul’s sperm count is normal. If we could observe Raul’s sperm about an hour after ejaculation, however, we’d see that they appear to be moving only sluggishly. When Raul’s sperm eventually encounter Darcy’s oocyte, they appear to be incapable of generating an adequate acrosomal reaction. Which process has probably gone wrong?arrow_forwardEmily and her husband are thrilled as they peer into Emily's uterus by means of an ultrasound. The physician reports that the pregnancy appears normal and that their baby's organs, spine, and arms and legs are developing as expected. Given this information, the current stage of prenatal development is the embryonic period germinal period zygotic period fetal stage placentaarrow_forwardWhat is this condition that results if the fertilized egg fails to descend down to the uterus?arrow_forward
- What happens if an oocyte combines with sperm? Describe the processes involved in implantation. Mention what is occurring, where it is occurring, and any significant hormones involved. How does the zygote make its way through the uterine tube? Women who smoke cigarettes have an increased risk of ectopic pregnancy because the chemicals they absorb paralyze cilia all through the body. Explain.arrow_forwardHow is the child affected if it has grown from the zygote formed by an XX-egg fertilized by Y-carrying sperm?
