4. In Deutoronomy it says “Choose life so that you and
5. IVF often involves the conception of multiple embryos and some are frozen and the longest stored embryo which has been successfully revived was stored for greater than 20 years.
6. It is possible for a baby to be born using IVF and a technique called somatic nuclear transfer. Somatic nuclear transfer involves removal of a nucleus from a donor egg and reinsertion of the nucleus from the mother to be. Then the new egg is fertilized by the father’s sperm. Remembering that mitochondrial DNA can also be found in an egg, how many “genetic” parents would this baby have?
7. In this version of assisted reproduction the sperm and egg are fertilized by IVF and then re-deposited into a fallopian tube.
8. The bible never mentions conception.

12. Which of the following is true about the “savior siblings” idea for treatment of genetic based childhood disease?
13. Implantation involves the fusion of the sperm with the uterine wall.
14. IVF literally means in-vitro fertilization which is translated fertilization in glass.
15. As we add more human sequences to DNA sequence databases we realize that we are all different by about 1-3% from each other.
16. Most cases of male infertility are genetic.
17. The rate of birth defects for IVF conceived babies is;
18. In the gospel of Luke who mentions conception to Mary regarding the birth of Jesus?
19. Female infertility increases with age because;
20. Different sequence analysis studies comparing human and chimp genomes shows a range of sequence identity; our textbook claims that the identity can be higher than 98%.
21. Sequential polar body analysis involves looking at the chromosomes and genes in the polar body that results from the completion of oocyte meiosis at fertilization.
22. The oldest assisted reproductive technology is intrauterine insemination.
23. Sperm can survive in the woman’s body for up to 5 days but the oocyte is only viable for 24-48 hours after ovulation.
24. In this version of assisted reproduction the sperm and egg are selected outside the body and then re- deposited into a fallopian tube.
25. Sequencing genomes provides much more information than sequencing exomes.
