- when a woman is injected with an egg fertilized in vitro, the probability of its implanting is 20 percent. If a woman is injected with five eggs simultaneously, what is the probability that she will become pregnant?arrow_forwardHypogonadism is a condition where the body does not produce enough testosterone. The symptoms of hypogonadism include infertility and a decrease in secondary sex characteristics. There are two types of hypogonadism. Primary hypogonadism is caused by problems stemming from the testicles, and secondary hypogonadism is caused by problems stemming from the hypothalamus or the pituitary gland.
