The option that is an example of the "ethical dilemma" of creating and destroying human embryos is option A: Some people..."believe an embryo has the same moral standing as a human being?"
<h3>What moral dilemmas do embryonic stem cells present?</h3>
The infinite differentiation potential of iPSCs, which can be used for human cloning and pose a risk for the creation of human embryos and human-animal chimeras, is the center of the current ethical debates surrounding stem cell-based therapies.
However, due to the fact that it involves the killing of human embryos, hESC research is morally and politically contentious. The controversy over abortion has a strong connection to the issue of when human existence begins in the United States.

Answer:
Ovaries, Uterus, Testes
Explanation:
Ovaries are what carry the Zygote's (eggs) and the Uterus is where a fertelized grows into a baby. If the egg is not fertilized in a certain amount of time the egg becomes infertile, the body goes through a 3-7 day cycle of menstruation. The Testes are the organs (balls) which carry sperm cells, which will fertilized a healthy egg.
Answer:
a) There are lots of genes on chromosome 1 could be affected, and the gametes could be imbalanced (missing segments of DNA or whole chromosomes)
b) Roughly 50%
c) No. I would advise that the couple undergo preimplantation genetic diagnosis, so that a zygote carrying the normal copy of chromosome 1 could be selected.
Explanation:
Chromosome 1 is one of the largest and most gene rich chromosomes. An inversion that covers 70% of its length would cover lots of genes.
While an inversion on its own would not seem problematic (as all the genes on the chromosome are still there), when it comes to meiosis, the sister chromatids would not be able to correctly align, and crossing over would further complicate this. It could also lead to unbalanced gametes missing entire parts of the chromosome. Therefore, there are likely numerous genes that will be affected and messed up by the inversion.
This could explain the high incidence of past still births, as if lots of genes are affected, and non-functional, the pregnancy would be rendered non-viable, or highly deleterious causing premature death.
b) There is a 50% chance of a child inheriting the defective copy of chromosome 1 (and 50% of a chance of them inheriting the normal chromosome 1. Therefore, there is likely a 50% chance that future offspring would be affected by defects
c) No. I would advise that the couple undergo preimplantation genetic diagnosis. In this, the couple undergoes in vitro fertilization (IVF). When embryos are produced through IVF, they can then be tested for the presence of the abnormal chromosome. Embryos will only be implanted into the mother if the normal chromosome 1 is present.
