Chapter 22, Problem 19CA
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The difference between testosterone and androgen.
Introduction:
Androgen is a steroid hormone which is secreted by the endocrine gland. It is responsible for the development and maintenance of male secondary sexual characteristics. It also supports the growth of the male reproductive system. Testosterone is secreted by the follicle stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone which is stimulated by the pituitary gland.

In your answer, apply at least one ethical theory in support of your position.arrow_forwardYou aim to test the hypothesis that the Tbx4 and Tbx5 genes inhibit each other's expression during limb development. With access to chicken embryos and viruses capable of overexpressing Tbx4 and Tbx5, describe an experiment to investigate whether these genes suppress each other's expression in the limb buds. What results would you expect if they do repress each other?

- A sample of blood was taken from the above individual and prepared for haemoglobin analysis. However, when water was added the cells did not lyse and looked normal in size and shape. The technician suspected that they had may have made an error in the protocol – what is the most likely explanation? The cell membranes are more resistant than normal. An isotonic solution had been added instead of water. A solution of 0.1 M NaCl had been added instead of water. Not enough water had been added to the red blood cell pellet. The man had sickle-cell anaemia.arrow_forwardA sample of blood was taken from the above individual and prepared for haemoglobin analysis.
