The third interstitial nucleus of the anterior hypothalamus (INAH3) is generally larger in chromosomal male (XY) humans than in chromosomal females (XX). This is thought to be due to the effects of testosterone during fetal development. What else does research suggest about the INAH3 brain region? A) In male-to-female transgender individuals, it is more similar in size to cis-gender females. B) In male-to-female transgender individuals, it is more similar in size to cis-gender males. C) There has been no research connecting the stuctures in this brain region to differences in gender identity. D)It is the same size in all transgender individuals regardless of chromosomal sex.

Discuss whether the following individuals (1) have male or female gonads, (2) are phenotypically male or female (Wolffian or Muellerian ducts. External genitalia) and (3) are sterile or fertile. a) XY, homozygous for a recessive mutation in the testosterone biosynthetic pathway, producing no testosterone b) XX, heterozygous for a dominant mutation in the testosterone biosynthetic pathway, which causes continuous production of testosterone
A woman who is eight (8) weeks pregnant requests a direct test for Huntington’s disease on her fetus. She tells her geneticist that she wants the test because she recently discovered that there is a family history of the disease in her husband’s family. One of his parents is affected so he is at 50% risk of developing the condition. She is adamant that she does not want to give birth to a baby who is at risk of developing Huntington’s and says that the test will help her to ensure that this is not the case. In counseling, she reveals that she has discussed this issue several times with her husband but he has always said he is not willing to take a test. He does not want to know his status and is extremely anxious about the possibility that he might develop the condition. The woman and her husband are currently separated but are seeing a relationship counselor and trying to work things out. Despite this, the woman says they tend to fight a lot. When it is explained to her in counseling…

A highly talented 22-year-old female college athlete has just qualified to compete in the Summer Olympics. However, when she is required to undergo laboratory testing to measure testosterone levels, she is informed that she will not be permitted to compete because her testosterone levels are “too high for a female athlete”. Further medical and genetic testing reveal that she has a condition known as Complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome. She promptly hires an attorney to appeal the decision. A. What is the chromosomal sex of this female athlete? B. If she were subjected to a cytological test for the presence of a Barr body or bodies, what would typically be found on such a test performed on an individual having this condition? Please EXPLAIN why this is the case.

Further medical and genetic testing reveal that she has a condition known as Complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome. She promptly hires an attorney to appeal the decision. The Olympic Committee maintains that her elevated testosterone levels will give her an unfair advantage over her fellow female athletes. Is this accurate? Please provide scientific support for your answer.
68) When Sperry and colleagues ablated the dorsal RGCs, the remaining ventral RGCS projected to the dorsal tectum. Conversely, when they ablated the ventral RGCs, the remaining dorsal RGCS projected to the ventral tectum. of su Ephrins and Ephs are distributed in dorsoventral gradients in both structures. EphB1 is expressed in the tectum, in a low-dorsal to high-ventral gradient. Ephrin-B1 and ephrin- B2 are expressed in the retina in a high-dorsal to low-ventral gradient. What do these expression patterns suggest about the mechanism used for dorsoventral patterning of RGCS projecting to the tectum? (3-4 sentences Max.
