Chapter 52, Problem 4A
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The pregnancy results after the fertilization of male and female gametes. During pregnancy, the female experiences the change of hormonal level. The sudden increase of progesterone and estrogen helps in maintaining the pregnancy and also helps in the development of the fetus inside the mother’s womb. During pregnancy, the other hormones like prostaglandin and oxytocin level also increases, which helps with the delivery of the fetus.

- During morphogenesis, gastrulation does which of the following?A. Gastrulation produces the ectoderm through formation of a blastocyst.B. Gastrulation produces the mesoderm to form the lining of the digestive tract.C. Gastrulation provides the mechanisms whereby cells can form the neural tube.D.

It helps regulate variables such as body temperature and bloodpressure.b. It is the mechanism by which birth occurs in mammals.c. It is a major feature of homeostatic control systems.d. It prevents homeostatic responses from overcompensating.e. It may occur at the organ, cellular, or molecular level.arrow_forwardWhich statement about menopause is most correct? A. Menopause has to be adaptive because life-history theory predicts that women should not outlive their reproductive capacity, so menopause must have some function. B. Menopause has to be adaptive because humans, not chimpanzees, experience menopause, and humans are evolutionarily more advanced than chimps. C. Several hypotheses for menopause as an adaptation have been proposed, but more evidence is necessary to support any one of them. D. Several hypotheses for menopause as an adaptation have been proposed, but they have not been tested.arrow_forward
