Concept explainers

Nutrition and diet

We are involved in several daily activities. These actions need a significant quantity of energy. The food we eat provides this energy. Food is necessary for development, repair, and other living activities since it supplies energy. All of these are part of the living practice known as nutrition. Nutrition is the study of nutrients in food, how the body uses them, and the relationship between diet, health, and disease. Nutritionists employ concepts from molecular biology, biochemistry, and genetics to understand how nutrients affect the human body. Nutrition also looks at how people can use their diet to reduce their risk of disease, as well as what happens when they ingest too much or too little of a nutrient and how allergies emerge.

Question

What is an ethical use of prenatal screening and pre-implantation screening (since sometimes, fetuses found with down-syndrome are discarded; there are also cultures where, male offspring is preferred so embryos screened and found to be females are discarded?

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a common assistive reproductive technology for couples who are struggling to conceive naturally; however, the success rate of IVF is, at best, about 55%. Researchers seeking to improve the success of IVF need to observe the interaction between sperm and eggs in order to better understand the factors that favour fertilization. Obviously, larger sperm and eggs would be easier to observe, even with the aid of microscopy. On this basis, which of the following vertebrate groups might be a good model for studying IVF because they are likely contain species with large sperm and eggs? Group of answer choices a) fish b) amphibians c) reptiles d) birds e) mammals

Can We Talk About Sex? Abstract: A three–year–old female undergoes elective inguinal hernia repair and unexpectedly is found to have testes in the hernia sacs. A recommendation is made not to disclose the patient’s genotype to her mother. This case study addresses the ethical conflict of whether to disclose the patient’s male genotype to the parent that has been raising the child as female. This case highlights the ethical risks and potential consequences later in life of not disclosing a patient’s CAIS diagnosis and treatment. Conversely, what would the consequences be for disclosing?
