Question 1

erectile tissue of
the females,

Answer 1

Clitoris

Question 2

Pregnancy is counted in weeks, lasting 40 weeks from
the first day of your last period. So you are actually
only preparing for pregnancy during those first two
weeks, until ovulation. For two more weeks many
women do not know that they are pregnant, even
though they may be hoping that they conceived this
month.

Answer 2

First Trimester

Question 3

the
time of your life! Not only have most
women ceased being nauseated, many
feel a burst of energy and report feeling
the best that they’ve ever felt. Because
of the changes in the first trimester
disappearing sexuality also peaks at this
time as well for the majority of couples.
Not having to be concerned with birth
control or falling asleep as soon as your
head hits the pillow opens a whole new
realm for the couple.

Answer 3

Second Trimester

Question 4

Baby is getting bigger and loving life in the
womb. Many babies will start to settle into
a head down position, beginning as early as
the 28th week.
►About 3-4% of all babies will remain in the
breech position at the end of pregnancy.
This final trimester is really a time for
finishing touches like lung maturity and
layers of brown fat to help keep your baby
warm on the outside.

Answer 4

Third Trimester

Failure of chromosomes to separate during meiosis
Causes gamete to have too many or too few chromosomes

Answer 31

Nondisjunction

Question 32

also known as trisomy 21, is a genetic disorder caused by the presence of all or part of a third copy of chromosome 21. It is typically associated with physical growth delays, characteristic facial features and mild to moderate intellectual disability.

Answer 32

Down syndrome

Question 33

condition that affects only females, results when one of the X chromosomes (sex chromosomes) is missing or partially missing. Turner syndrome can cause a variety of medical and developmental problems, including short height, failure of the ovaries to develop and heart defects.

Answer 33

Turner syndrome

Question 34

occurs when a boy is born with one or more extra X chromosomes. Most males have one Y and one X chromosome. Having extra X chromosomes can cause a male to have some physical traits unusual for males such as weaker muscles, greater height, poor coordination, less body hair, and sterility
