Question

30. Match the descriptions with the appropriate reproductive technology.
Reproductive Technology:
Artificial insemination
Surrogacy
Superovulation
IVF

Descriptions:
A. The combination of an egg and
sperm in glassware before placing
the blastocyst on the endometrium
B. A situation in which an embryo that
is not genetically related to a woman
is inserted into her uterus and
carried to term
C. A procedure where sperm are
collected and concentrated before
being placed into a woman’s uterus
D. A procedure to stimulate multiple
egg maturation in a cycle

33. Superovulation is when women take hormones in order to release more eggs for
fertilization. Which of the following rows contains hormones that are involved in
developing the follicles and releasing them from the ovary, respectively? What
could be the unintended consequence of this process?
A. Hormone Unintended Consequence
FSH and LH Scar tissue on the Fallopian tubes
B. Hormone Unintended Consequence
FSH and LH    A tubal ligation
C. Hormone    Unintended Consequence
FSH and LH    The formation of twins or multiple births
D. Hormone    Unintended Consequence
LH and FSH    Ovarian Cancer

34. Match each description with the appropriate prenatal diagnostic test.
Prenatal Diagnostic Tests:
CVS
Cordocentesis
Ultrasound
Amniocentesis

Descriptions:
A. High frequency sound waves create
images on a screen. This is used as a
screening method to make sure the fetus
is developing properly.
B. A sample of cells from the fetal portion of
the placenta is taken for genetic analysis.
C. A sample of fetal blood is taken from the
umbilical cord for genetic analysis.
D. A sample of fluid is taken from the space
that forms below the embryonic disk.

35. In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a procedure that can help couples who are having
difficulty becoming pregnant due to blocked Fallopian tubes, low sperm count,
low sperm motility, or sperm that cannot penetrate the outer layer of an egg,
among other conditions.
Normally, an ovary produces one mature ovum per 28-day cycle. In order to
ensure a successful IVF procedure, doctors try to retrieve a large number of
mature eggs.
In order to obtain a greater than normal number of mature eggs, doctors inject
the IVF candidate with a drug such as Bravellissima, which stimulates multiple
follicle development. They also administer a drug such as Centrotic, which
suppresses ovulation to prevent earlier than anticipated ovulation of mature ova.
Which of the following rows correctly identifies the naturally occurring hormones
that the IVF drugs are imitating?
A. Bravellissima    Centrotic
LH    Progesterone
B. Bravellissima    Centrotic
Progesterone LH
C Bravellissima    Centrotic
   Estrogen    FSH
D. Bravellissima    Centrotic
   FSH Estrogen
E. Bravellissima Centrotic
GnRH    FSH

36. Match each statement with the perspective it exemplifies.
Perspective:
Ethical
Cultural
Societal
Economic

Some Statements Related to Monitoring
Fetal Development:
A. Small portable ultrasound machines
should be banned in countries that
promote female feticide.
B. Chorionic villus sampling allows
mothers to decide if they would like
to terminate their pregnancy if the
baby has any genetic disorders.
C. Prenatal diagnostic procedures such
as amniocentesis create negative
attitudes toward genetic disabilities
such as Down syndrome.
D. Prenatal testings can alleviate the
burden on the Alberta health care.

37. Which of the following statements is not correct about the umbilical cord?
A. The umbilical cord blood cells are multipotent, not totipotent like embryonic
stem cells.
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. Preserving the baby’s umbilical cord can be useful to help a sibling who may
need stem cell transplant.
