Chapter 7, Problem 2CTS
Summary Introduction
To write:
If it is right to search for graduate donors for sperms.
The consequences related to focusing on graduate donors.
Introduction:
The genes are responsible for the different types of characters in humans. Some of the conditions are completely determined by the genes and some of the traits are affected by both genes and the environment. The sperm plays an important role in determining the trait, as it contributes 50% of the child's genes.

Research one additional blood group type NOT discussed in the lecture. Be sure to include the different allele options, what determines the blood groups, and mention the distribution of the different blood groups across human populations. If applicable, discuss any relationship between the blood group and human health.

- On average, Black Americans have shorter life expectancies than White Americans. Which of the following contributes to this difference? A. In recent years, alcohol and opioid abuse have had the biggest impact on life expectancies for Black Amerians relative to any other racial or ethnic groups. B. Black Americans are more likely to have regualr cancer screenings and so have a higher recorded incidence of cancer. C. The youngest generations of Black American are less health than older generations, so health amoung Black Americans has been getting worse over time. D. Black Americans ten to receive lower-quality care and spend less time with medical practitioners than White Americans do.arrow_forwardIn the section on Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, we discussed that the typical advice given to pregnant women is that the only safe level of alcohol consumption is no consumption at all. However, although the evidence is clear that a mother’s heavy consumption is dangerous to the fetus, the effects, if any, of light alcohol consumption on the fetus are far more ambiguous. In view of the current state of knowledge, do you think it is ethical to give blanket, prescriptive-like advice to women to not drink alcohol if they are pregnant? In considering your answer, consult the articles by Gavaghan (2009), Kelly et al. (2009), and Murray et al. (2016).arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is NOT true regarding maternal alcohol consumption, cigarette smoking, and use of illicit drugs during lactation? a. Alcohol passes into breast milk and causes sleepiness in the infant. b. Infants drink slightly more breast milk when the mother consumes up to one alcoholic drink per day. c. To minimize the effects of an occasional alcoholic drink, women should drink after breastfeeding, eat a meal with the drink to reduce alcohol absorption, and wait to breastfeed for several hours after drinking. d. Illicit drugs can be delivered through breast milk and cause irritability, tremors, hallucinations, and even death in infants.arrow_forward
