Chapter 2.2, Problem 1AWYK
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The inability of a man with Kartagener's syndrome to father a child.
Introduction:
The Kartagener's syndrome is a recessive disorder in which the cilia and the flagella lack the dyenin protein which makes them inefficient to remove dust and foreign particles from the respiratory tract and results in the frequent infections of nose, pharynx, and lungs.

Mumps is a viral infection. The primary symptom of mumps is visible swelling of the parotid gland on either side of the face. However, the virus can also infiltrate the male reproductive system, causing the testes to atrophy. Some effects include oligospermia (low sperm count), azoospermia (no sperm in semen), and asthenospermia (reduced sperm movement).
Research treatment options for reduced sperm movement. Describe one option that can be used to aid successful fertilization and explain why it helps.
Write the letter for the correct answer in the blank. ____ 2. Testes and ovaries that make steroids (lipids) would have a larger amount of: (a) SER (b) RER (c) mitochondria (d) lysosomes
Endometriosis is a disorder in which endometrial cells implant and proliferate outside of the uterus—in the uterine tubes, on the ovaries, or even in the pelvic cavity. Offer a theory as to why endometriosis increases a woman’s risk of infertility.

- List the important ideas in the video regarding genetic epistasis. https://youtu.be/0HfkCppZLfoarrow_forwardUse the following information to answer the next question. Have you ever watch an old movie or television show where the expression "the rabbit died" meant that a woman was pregnant? The "rabbit test" was developed 1931. The test involved injecting urine of the woman being tested into a female rabbit and then examining the rabbit's ovaries a few days later. A hormone in the urine of a pregnant woman would cause follicles in the rabbit's ovaries to mature and release the ovum. The injected rabbit had to be surgically opened to examine the ovaries for the structure remaining after ovulation and would die whether the woman was pregnant or not. Today's pregnancy tests do not require the killing of an animal, and results are determined in a matter of minutes rather than days. However, the same hormone involves in both tests. Identify the row that depicts the hormones present in the urine of a pregnant woman, the female reproductive hormone that it mimics in early pregnancy, and the…arrow_forwardWhen investigating fertility concerns, a common course of action is to rule out sperm cell-related causes of infertility first since obtaining the relevant specimens is generally less invasive. Vitality is another commonly assessed parameter, particularly when motility is deemed poor since it allows physicians to differentiate between live and dead sperm cells. Describe what you would expect to observe (after using the microscope) in the case of a live sperm cell and why? How can you distinguish it from a dead sperm cell in the same sample?arrow_forward
