chance of success, take steps to select the gender of their children. While gender selection is legal in the U.S., it has generated some controversy among the medical advisory groups that tackle questions of bioethics. For instance, although the sperm-separation method is widely endorsed for families that have one or more children of a particular gender and want one of the other, the embryo-implanting method is not universally endorsed for nonmedical purposes. The issue is more controversial in

and meiosis resulting in production of sexual cells or gametes for reproduction. For animals, meiosis is a process that takes place during gametogenesis (spermatogenesis or ovogenesis), that is to say during the development of gametes (sperm in males and eggs in females) in the so-called species diploid. In plants, meiosis produces spores which give by mitosis haploid generation (pollen, leafy foot foam, etc. . ) It gives haploid cells (cells containing n chromosomes) from diploid cells (cell

What is infertility and what are the causes? The Center for Disease Control (CDC) defines infertility as not conceiving a child after having unprotected sex for a year. For various reasons many people are unaware of the causes and risks of infertility. However, this is an important social issue that should receive more awareness because this means that there are less people procreating, which may lead to a smaller global population. In this paper I will be addressing who is affected by infertility

The fallopian tubes are attached to the uterus on the left and right sides. Under normal circumstances, the egg as it is ovulated from the ovary, it will be picked up by the fallopian tube every month, and then the egg and sperm meet in one of the two tubes, forming an embryo, which will travel through the tube into the uterus. Thus, if the fallopian tubes are blocked, called salpingemphraxis, women will have little chance to be pregnant. As a matter of fact, salpingemphraxis is the leading cause

have specific needs. A gamete has to meet and unite together. They also must have food to nourish the developing embryo. If you were to look at human beings, the males carry sperm which are small and motile. The female carry eggs which provide food for the embryo. In a male his sex organs main purposes are to produce the sperm and deliver it in the reproductive tract of a female. Gene migration is also known as gene flow. This is the transfer of

sexual reproduction? According to Concepts in Biology, “the propagation of organisms involving the union of gametes from two parents," (2008). In human form the males carry sperm which are small and motile. The female carry eggs which provide food for embryo. In addition, male his sex organs main purposes are to produce the sperm and deliver it in the reproduction tract of a female. However, asexual reproduction, sexual reproduction must involve two partners. Third issue that related is migration

When it comes to assisted reproductive technology, a plethora of terms, ideas, opinions, and even questions may come to mind. While many of these concepts tend to be positive, the majority of people aren’t familiar with this world of technology because they don’t encounter reproductive complications that would lead them to even consider it. A common fear for young couples is the possibility of being infertile—that is, unable to get pregnant after one year of regular, unprotected sex. (Teague) In
