Chapter 47, Problem 1TYK
Summary Introduction
Introduction: The process by which the male germ cells fuses with the female germ cells is termed as fertilization. The female germ cells are known as eggs, while the male germ cells are called sperms. The female sea urchins release their eggs in water. Similarly, the male sea urchin also release the sperms in the water. The fertilization that takes place in the external environment and not inside the female body is called external fertilization.

Why is it easier to manipulate embryonic stem cells to differentiate into various tissues than it is to manipulate a typical adult cell?
a.
As cells develop, signaling pathways can cause some genes to be turned off during development.
b.
Adult cells have different DNA content than do embryonic stem cells.
c.
Emybronic stem cells pose less of a threat for organ rejection as do an individual s own adult cells.
d.
It is no easier to manipulate emybronic stem cells to differentiate into various tissues than it is to manipulate a typical adult cell.
During the first few weeks of pregnancy, chorionic gonadotropin substitutes for luteinizing hormone to maintain the high progesterone levels needed to support fetal development. What is the property of hCG that allows it to perform this function?
A.
Secretion by the placental trophoblastic cells
B.
Lack of regulation by progesterone negative feedback
C.
Up regulation by positive feedback from FSH
D.
Sharing a common subunit with anti-Müllerian hormone
E.
Lack of regulation by inhibin
