Textbook Question
Chapter 42, Problem 2TC
A variety of fertility tests are available for women to purchase over the counter—for example, at drugstores. Especially as more women delay their first pregnancy until they are older, these tests are becoming more popular. Many of these tests incorporate antibodies that specifically react with hormones found in a woman’s urine. What specific hormones could be measured in these tests, and how might these tests actually work?

answer the question below, multiple answer is possible while if all choices are not applicable, provide the proper answer
Observational studies conducted in the 1980s and 1990s indicated that women in therapy
hormone replacement (HRT) had reduced symptoms of
menopause compared to women who were not on replacement therapy
hormonal. More recently, experiments with hormone replacement therapy revealed
that women on HRT have an increased risk of breast cancer. What studies should we
believing they are telling us the truth about the efficacy and / or risk of replacement therapy
hormonal? Please provide an explanation of why there was a difference.

Today, millions of dollars are being granted for research about the placenta for auto- immune diseases and patients receiving organ transplants. Can you think of why both of these different areas of research are interested in studying the placenta?

Researchers seeking to improve the success of IVF need to observe the interaction between sperm and eggs in order to better understand the factors that favour fertilization. Obviously, larger sperm and eggs would be easier to observe, even with the aid of microscopy. On this basis, which of the following vertebrate groups might be a good model for studying IVF because they are likely contain species with large sperm and eggs?

- 1. Use the following scenario to answer questions: Stimulation of G-protein coupled receptors on ovarian cells by certain pituitary hormones promotes the synthesis of estrogen and progesterone using Gαs pathways. Suppose you are studying the release of estrogen from cultured ovarian cells exposed to pituitary hormones. What effect would the following conditions have on estrogen release in response to the pituitary hormones? Genetic deletion (knockout) of Gα along with overexpression of constitutively active PKA would result in (hint: think of epistasis experiments) Answers: a. No change in estrogen release b. Increased release of estrogen c. Decreased release of estrogen d. Can not be determined 2.

These donor spermatogonia cells have developed into mature spermatozoa in 70% of cases, and some recipients have gone on to father pups (as baby mice are called). This new advance opens the way for a host of experimental genetic manipulations. It also offers enormous potential for correcting human genetic disease. One potentially useful human application of this procedure is treating infertile males who wish to be fathers. a. Do you foresee any ethical or legal problems with the implementation of this technique? If so, elaborate on the concerns. b. Could this procedure have the potential for misuse? If so, explain how.arrow_forward
