LAB ASSESSMENT 1
1. Identify the origin of In Vitro Fertilization and the 2010 nobel prize winner associated with this technique.
Robert G. Edwards, a British scientist
2. Identify a recent paper on fertilisation and describe its key findings.
A recent Swedish study published in the July issue 2011 of the medical journal Pediatrics, babies conceived via In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) are more likely to get various cancers by age 19 than when naturally conceived.
3. Identify 2 congenital anomalies.
- Hydrocephalus - cleft palate/lip
--Mark Hill 00:38, 30 July 2011 (EST) You need to cite the reference correctly for question 2.
LAB ASSESSMENT 2
1. Identify the ZP protein that spermatozoa binds and how is this changed (altered) after fertilisation.
ZP3 is a glycoprotein sperm receptor molecule in the zona which is one of three glycoproteins composing the zona pellucida. As a result of this binding, the acrosome is induced to release degradative enzymes that allow the sperm to penetrate the zona pellucida <Schoenwolf, G.C., Bleyl, S.B., Brauer, P.R. and Francis-West, P.H. (2009). Larsen’s Human Embryology (4th ed.). New York; Edinburgh: Churchill Livingstone>.
2. Identify a review and a research article related to your group topic. (Paste on both group discussion page with signature and on your own page)
Turner's Syndrome: New England Journal of Medicine by Virginia P. Sybert, M.D., and Elizabeth McCauley, Ph.D. Issue 351 Page 1227-1238 September 16, 2004.
