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.

1. The evolution/development of the skeletal system found in the Deuterostomes, is made up of two molecules, Ca+2PO4-2 and collagen These molecules are produced released from by a specialized type of stem cell. Therefore, one would expect that these stem cells perform which of the following a) the storage and the release of Ca+2PO4-2 and collagen from vesicles from the Golgi apparatus, b) high levels of protein synthesis c) active transport of amino acids and ions into the stem cells through active transport, d) oxidation of pyruvate by the mitochondria, e) all are correct.
2. A multicellular eukaryote cell typically has enough available ATP to meet its needs for about 90 seconds. What would cause an active cell to exhaust its ATP supply so quickly? A) regular rest is a cellular requirement. B) Photosynthesis used up all ATP. C) ATP is transported into other cells. D)…
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. Which of the following hormones has a similar function as hCG? A. LH B. Estrogen C. Inhibin D. FSHarrow_forwardChlamydia 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_forward
- Suppose, 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_forwardA 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_forward
- Mammalian sperm don’t live very long after ejaculation.Therefore, for a rhino cow to become pregnant, the sperm must be placed in her vagina or uterus, whether by mating or by artificial insemination, at about the same time that ovulation occurs.The simplest way to ensure correct timing is to induce ovulation and have mating or artificial insemination the same day. How might ovulation be induced, in rhinos or in other mammals?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_forwardThe slow block to polyspermy involves a permanent modification of the egg surface, usually through exocytosis of the cortical granules. In the 1970s, Dave Epel carried out experiments that led to the conclusion that a Ca2+ rise in the egg is both necessary and sufficient to trigger cortical granule exoctyosis (CGE). For the experiment below, describe it as correlation, loss-of-function or gain-of function. Then, indicate the predicted result. Experiment (a) – Dr. Epel injects the egg with an indicator dye that fluoresces when Ca2+ binds to it. In unfertilized eggs, there is no fluorescence and no CGE. However, when sperm are added to the eggs, he observes fluorescence and then CGE.arrow_forward

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_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
