Some drugs have the potential to cause birth defects if taken by pregnant women. Most women know the dangers of alcohol and drugs of abuse while pregnant but in 2023,Center’s for Disease control and Prevention reported about 70% of pregnant women take at least one prescription drug and many take some type of herbal remedy and think over the counter drugs are safe to take.

Mary is a successful professional woman and makes over $1.5 million dollars a year. She is beautiful, works
out every day, and maintains a healthy vegan diet. Since children would interfere with her life-style, she has
decided to have tubal ligation surgery (making her unable to conceive).
Joe, a complete idiot, is a high school drop out, can't hold a job, and frequently abuses drugs. He's gotten ten
teenage girls pregnant (that he knows of) in the past two year. He promised he would marry each of them and

O Nancy was part of a group of 124 people stranded on an isolated island after the plane they were on crashed.
The group suffered hunger, thirst, exposure to cold and heat, disease, attacks by wild animals, hurricanes, and
other environmental stresses. At the time of her rescue, 18 months after the crash, she was the lone survivor.

The epic story of a single sperm facing incredible odds to unite with an egg and form a new human life it is the story of all of us.
During sexual intercourse about 300 million sperm enter the vagina. Soon afterward millions of them will either flow out of the vagina or die in its acidic environment. However, many survive because of the protective elements provided in the fluid surrounding them. Next the sperm must pass through the cervix and opening into the uterus. Usually, it remains tightly closed but here the cervix is open for a few days while the woman ovulates. The sperm swim through the cervical mucus which is thinned to a more watery consistency for easier passage. Once inside the cervix the sperm continues swimming toward the uterus though millions will die trying to make it through the mucus. Some sperm remained behind caught in the folds of the cervix, but they may later continue the journey as a backup to the first group.…

- Researchers are learning how to transfer sperm-making cells from fertile male mice into infertile male mice in the hopes of learning more about reproductive abnormalities. 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_forwardTest Your Understanding 15 SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, AND SOCIETY Why do you think that a variety of effective methods of male contraception have not yet been developed?

Researchers have discovered a new compound that is a candidate for birth control. Its proposed mechanism is to be a progesterone receptor agonist meaning that it binds and activates receptors that would normally recognize progesterone. Researchers are interested in understanding the efficacy of the new compound, in other words, how well does its progesterone receptor agonist activity prevent the possibility of pregnancy. Assume that we are working in a rodent model system (mouse or rat) and propose a research design to test the efficacy of this compound. This design needs to address the proposed mechanism that this compound is a progesterone receptor agonist. Include a description of the variables in the experiment, the treatment groups, the procedure to detect the efficacy of the proposed mechanism, and an explanation of the results that would be required to confirm the efficacy of this compound for birth control.

"It's just a law of nature across all animals" he shouts! Holidays are fun.

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?
