42
Q

Describe the products of the three primary germ layers.

A

The primary germ layers are the endoderm, mesoderm and ectoderm. The endoderm ultimately develops into tissues such as epithelial linings and associated glands in the respiratory, digestive and reproductive systems. The mesoderm becomes connective tissues, muscle tissues and the dermis. The ectoderm yields the epidermis, the nervous system and some additional epithelial membranes.

43
Q

Describe the process and purpose of amniocentesis.

A

The position of the fetus and placenta is identified via ultrasound and palpation, and the skin is prepared with antiseptic and local anesthetic. A hypodermic needle is inserted through the abdominal wall and uterus to withdraw 10 mL of amniotic fluid from the amniotic cavity. The fluid and cells are examined and biochemically tested for abnormal proteins and chromosome abnormalities that may signal fetal problems and congenital defects.

44
Q

Describe the hormonal events surrounding parturition.

A

Fetal CRH secretion increases, which causes estrogen to rise as fetal ACTH triggers an increase in cortisol and DHEA. Placenta converts DHEA to estrogen. In turn, estrogen increases oxytocin receptors on uterine smooth muscle fibers and makes them form gap junctions. Oxytocin stimulates uterine contraction, and relaxin dilates the cervix and loosens the pubic symphysis. Estrogen also increases prostaglandins to digest collagen in the cervix. Oxytocin, cervix, and the hypothalamus maintain a positive feedback loop to maintain labor.

45
Q

Distinguish between genotype and phenotype and explain how the environment may affect each.

A

Genotype is the actual DNA sequence or genetic makeup of an individual. Teratogens (agents that cause mutations) might damage the DNA and change the genotype. For instance, the DNA in an embryo exposed to ionizing radiation might be damaged, resulting in genes that malfunction. Phenotype is the physical expression of the genes. Height, hair color, and even enzyme activity are phenotypes. If the genotype is changed by the environment, the phenotype may also be changed. A single base change in DNA is responsible for the sickle cell phenotype. Phenotype is dependent on the environment in a variety of ways. One example is that a child might have the genotype “tall”. If the child doesn’t receive adequate nutrition, though, he still might not be as tall as his genes would ordinarily allow.

46
Q

Red-green color blindness is a recessive, X-linked trait represented as Xc. (Normal color vision is represented as XC.) If a daughter has red-green color blindness, what must the genotypes of her parents be?

A

The daughter can only have red-green color blindness if she received two copies of Xc chromosomes. Since her father only has one X chromosome, his genotype must be XcY. The other Xc chromosome had to come from her mother. If her mother has normal color vision, the mother’s genotype is XCXc. However, if the mother is also color blind, the mother’s genotype must be XcXc.
