Fetus A and Fetus B are developing within their own biological mothers who are unrelated. Fetus A and Fetus B both experience 3 weeks of very high blood lead levels: a known teratogen. After birth, Baby A is relatively healthy and appears to be unaffected by the high fetal BALs it experienced. However, Baby B is exhibiting clear signs of birth defects and developmental delays. Name two reasons why Baby A and Baby B may have been differentially impacted by this teratogen.

Hemophilia, disease in which the blood lacks a clotting factor, is caused by an X linked recessive gene. Joe doe not have hemophilia and Lucille is heterozygous for the condition. What is the chance that their MALE child will have hemophilia? (Note: you are calculating the probability for their MALE children only, in other words if they have 1 male child, what is the probability that he will be born with the disease?) 0% 1/4 or 25% 2/4 or 50% 3/4 or 75% 4/4 or 100%
Alex is newly pregnant with twins and curious about everything about her developing children. Her doctor was able to tell her that her twins are dizygotic twins via ultrasound. In your essay, describe the difference between monozygotic and dizygotic twins and explain how each is conceived. Alex is also wondering about the genetics of her children and how they will act when they are older. Offer an explanation of genotype and phenotype and provide an example of each specific to Alex’s future children being dizygotic twins. Finally, in your previous explanation be sure to also describe how most traits are both polygenic and multifactorial and how that may influence her twins’ phenotypes.

Which of the following characteristics does Terry most likely have? a.Terry has neither a typical male nor female chromosome configuration and has neither ovaries nor testes. b.Terry has the typical male XY chromosome configuration but very low levels androgens and female genitalia including a vagina. c.Terry has the typical female YY chromosome configuration but displays high levels of androgens resulting in male genitalia. d.Terry has the typical XY chromosome configuration but very high levels testosterone resulting in exaggerated male genitalia.
Neural Tube Defects (NTDs) are one of the most severe congenital malformations. A study was conducted to determine whether supplementation with folic acid or a mixture of seven other vitamins (A, D, B1, B2, B6, C, and nicotinamide) around the time of conception could prevent neural tube defects. A total of 1817 women at high risk of having a pregnancy with a neural tube defect (because of a previous affected pregnancy) were allocated at random to one of four groups: 1) folic acid; 2) other vitamins; 3) both; 4) neither. 1195 had a completed pregnancy; 27 of these had a known neural tube defect, 6 in the folic acid groups and 21 in the two other groups. This resulted in a risk ratio= 0.28. What type of study design is this? a) Case-control b) Randomized controlled trial c) Prospective cohort d) Retrospective cohort
