Starting from the superior and inferior vena cavae, chronologically trace the blood flow. MAKE SURE YOU PUT THE STARTING POSITION AS 1 AND THE LAST POSITION AS THE LARGEST NUMBER. ✓ lungs ✓ left ventricle ✓ left atrium ✓ bicuspid valve ✓ pulmonary veins" ✓ right atrium ✓ rest of body pulmonary arteries aorta ✓tricuspid valve aortic semilunar valve ✓right ventricle pulmonary trunk pulmonary semilunar valve

Your friends Sue and Tom have been trying unsuccessfully to have a baby. Their doctor wants to pursue in vitro fertilization but the entire process, including harvesting oocytes and sperm, can be expensive, time-consuming, invasive, and problem-laden. Sue has heard that cloning uses various typ of cells and knows that you're studying biology, so she wants to know whether skin cells from Tom could be used to fertilize skin cells of hers, rather than using eggs and sperm. What do you tell Sue about the cells needed for reproduction so that she thoroughly understands why certain cells are needed?

Based on the anatomy of the male, explain why an enlarged prostate would make urination difficult.

Sexual reproduction can produce diverse genotypes that may enhance survival of a population in a changing environment. allows animals to conserve resources and reproduce only during optimal conditions. yields more numerous offspring more rapidly than is possible with asexual reproduction. enables males and females to remain isolated from each other while rapidly colonizing habitats. guarantees that both parents will provide care for each offspring.

Which of the following synthesizes testosterone? the interstitial cells. the sertoli cells the cells of the anterior pituitary gland the cells of the hypothalamus

Which of the following structures is incorrectly paired with its function? oviduct-site of normal embryonic implantation O placenta-maternal and fetal exchange organ seminal vesicles-add sugar and mucus to semen epididymis-maturation and storage of sperm prostate gland-adds alkaline substances to semen

Which of the following are possible advantages of sexual reproduction? It allows the species to endure periods of fluctuating or unstable environmental conditions. It enables the species to colonize new regions rapidly. It enhances genetic variability in the species. it is fast and easy it is energetically cheap to perform

Select the correct option a. Type A spermatogonia b. One spermatogonium forms two spermatids. c. Spermiation is the release of sperms from seminiferous tubules d. Primary spermatocyte undergoes mitosis to form secondary spermatocytes. grows to larger primary spermatocyte.

A cell that has 3 copies of every chromosome is considered trisomic diploid aneuploid euploid Otriploid

The number of sperm cells that form from a primary spermatocyte is 100. 4 16. 2.

Nondisjunction involving the Y chromosome may occur during spermatogenesis and produce two kinds of sperm. If normal eggs were to fuse with these two types of sperm, which of the following genotypes are possible in the resulting embryos? XYY and XO XYY and YO XX and XY XXY and XO

Sexual reproduction produces offspring organisms that contain the same number of chromosomes as the maternal parent. are identical to each other and to the maternal parent, and contain the same number of chromosomes. are identical to each other and to the maternal parent. are genetically identical to each other. are genetically identical to the maternal parent.

During childbirth, the baby pushes on the wall of the uterus. This is detected by pressure receptors that signal the brain to release oxytocin. If this is a positive feedback process, select the likely next step. Oxytocin causes the uterus to contract, preventing further release of oxytocin from the brain. Oxytocin causes the uterus to contract, further stimulating the receptors and releasing more oxytocin from the brain. Oxytocin has no effect on the uterus so as to maintain homeostasis. Oxytoch causes the uterus to relax, decreasing pressure from the baby so as to maintain homeostasis,

There are two types of sperms 50% with X chromosome and 50% with Y chromosome. Which sperm is more likely to fertilize ovum that would develop into male offspring? Sperm with Y chromosome. Sperm with X chromosome. Sperm with XX chromosome. None of the above.

In mammals, the determining factor in sexual development of the external genitalia is the presence of: estradiol. neither estradiol nor testosterone. estradiol and testosterone equally. testosterone.

A person begins life in utero as a single cell called a(n) _____ that contains 46 chromosomes. After trillions of rounds of the cell cycle and cell replication by the process called _____, a complete person (composed of trillions of cells) eventually develops. zygote... mitosis animal cell... meiosis egg cell... binary fission zygote... binary fission animal cell... binary fission egg cell... mitosis

Close Reading of the Prologue Instructions: Complete the assigned tasks for each of the sections of this assignment. Note: A prologue is an introduction to a piece (literature or music), so readers (or audience members at a performance) would encounter the prologue as a way to "set the stage" for "Romeo and Juliet".

A newly married couple are planning to have a small family of two children and they are hoping to have a boy and a girl. What is the probability that they will have their 'ideal' family? 0.5 1.0 0.125 0.75 0.0625 0.25

Signal transduction may result in changes in gene expression and cell function, which may alter phenotype in an embryo. An example is the expression of the SRY gene, which triggers the male sexual development pathway in mammals. This gene is found on the Y chromosome. Which statement provides the evidence to justify the claim that signal transduction may result in an altered phenotype? a. If the SRY gene is absent or nonfunctional, the embryo will exhibit male sexual development. b. If the SRY gene is absent or nonfunctional, the embryo will exhibit female sexual development. c. An embryo with a male sex chromosome will always exhibit male sexual development. d. An embryo with two male sex chromosomes will always exhibit male sexual development.
