Chapter 7, Problem 2CTS
Summary Introduction
To write:
If it is right to search for graduate donors for sperms.
The consequences related to focusing on graduate donors.
Introduction:
The genes are responsible for the different types of characters in humans. Some of the conditions are completely determined by the genes and some of the traits are affected by both genes and the environment. The sperm plays an important role in determining the trait, as it contributes 50% of the child's genes.

Ken Doll isn't very smart. He and Barbie are not trying to have a baby. Ken is confused about a few details and asked his friend GI Joe why Barbie became pregnant. "Look, we did the deed on Monday and she didn't ovulate until Thursday. I should have been safe and my 'little swimmers' should have been out of there by then." How should GI Joe explain the necessary information to Ken?

- What values are at odds in the controversy about the use of fetal stem cells in research?arrow_forwardTwo groups of participants read a description of a person called Mark, who was described as shy, introverted and good at mathematics. They were asked how likely each of the following statements were: a) That Mark is male; and b) That Mark is male and works as a software engineer. The group rated b) as more likely than a). In reality a) is more likely than b) because given his name, Mark has a very high probability of being a man. The combined probability of him being both a man and a software engineer must of course be lower. Why did the participants make this mistake, and what does this tell us about the way in which human beings make judgements about peoplearrow_forwardWhich statement regarding fetal/maternal circulation is correct? Question 25 options: a) Two arteries in the umbilical cord carry deoxygenated blood and waste products away from the fetus to the placenta b) Two veins in the umbilical cord carry blood that is high in carbon dioxide and other waste products away from the fetus to the placenta c) Two arteries carry freshly oxygenated blood and nutrient-rich blood back from the placenta to the fetus d) One artery carries freshly oxygenated blood and nutrient-rich blood back from the placenta to the fetusarrow_forward
- Looking at hairline (widow's peak = H) and ear shape (ear lobes = E)... If a man who is HhEe has children with a woman who is also HhEe, what percentage of their children will be HhEe? Question 8 options: 6% 100% 19% 25% 56%arrow_forwardDo you agree or disagree why? I think this topic is sort of tricky and I still can't decide if I feel like we should allow this. I think there many good pros as well as cons when it comes to changing a babies genes and traits. I understand why people would want to make sure their baby is born healthy and doesn't have any diseases like Alzheimers or Huntington's disease. At the same time, I am a big believer in the idea that everything happens for a reason so part of my feels like it is wrong to alter a baby because you never know what life could've been like. ( I hope what I am trying to say makes sense) There is also that risk of the baby getting more sick and other things happening which makes me feel like it is not worth the risk to alter them. In the article I read it mentions how this can make people superior to others which I also think will cause some problems in the future.arrow_forwardImagine that you are in your late 30s or early 40s and decide that you want a child. You realize that you’re at greater risk of having a child with Down’s Syndrome. What sorts of genetic screening are available today? If you find out that this child has this condition, do you think it’s appropriate to have an abortion? Why or why not? Question: Does elective abortion of fetuses with physical or other developmental disabilities have an effect on the perception of personhood, dignity, and rights in society? Explain.arrow_forward
- A survey of Canadian adult males was performed during the 1980s. 52% of the respondents smoked. The lifetime probability of a smoker getting lung cancer was 17.2%, whereas a non-smoker had a cancer probability of 1.3%. a)What is the conditional probability of a male smoker getting lung cancer? b)Draw a probability tree showing the probability of getting lung cancer conditional on smoking or not smoking. c)Using the tree, calculate the probability of smoking and getting lung cancer d)Show the same calculation as c), but in the format of the general multiplication rule Pr[A and B] = Pr[A] Pr[B|A] e)What is the probability that a male did not smoke and did not get lung cancer? pls help with the following. explain and make sure its 100 % accurate, thanksarrow_forwardWhat is the ultimate goal in the future about the designer babies?

Research one additional blood group type NOT discussed in the lecture. Be sure to include the different allele options, what determines the blood groups, and mention the distribution of the different blood groups across human populations. If applicable, discuss any relationship between the blood group and human health. Be sure to copy/paste the links to any sources you used in your research.arrow_forward
- Which of the following statements is NOT correct about the umbilical cord? Select one: a. Preserving the baby’s umbilical cord can be useful to help a sibling who may need stem cell transplant. b. The amount of blood cells contained in the umbilical cord is too little to treat an adult for stem cell transplant. c. A baby’s umbilical cord can be used to treat the same baby, if they are born with blood disorders, such as leukemia. d. The umbilical cord blood cells are multipotent, not totipotent like embryonic stem cells.arrow_forwardThere has been a colossal snafu in the maternity ward of your local hospital. four sets of male twins, born within an hour of each other, were inadvertently shuffled in the excitement occasioned by that unlikely event. you have been called in to set things straight. as a first step, you would like to match each baby with his twin. (many newborns look alike so you don’t want to rely on appearance alone.) to that end you analyze a small blood sample from each infant using a hybridization probe that detects short tandem repeats (STRs) located in widely scattered regions of the genome. the results are shown in Figure Q10–15.a. Which infants are twins? Which are identical twins?b. How could you match a pair of twins to the correct parents?arrow_forwardWhy the issue of abortion is absolutely neglected by geneticists??arrow_forward
