1. Identify the origin of In Vitro Fertilization and the 2010 nobel prize winner associated with this technique.
The origin of in Vitro Fertilization was firstly successful on 1978 with the born of world’s first test tube baby. The credit goes to the British scientist Robert Edwards who dedicated his research on the biology of fertilization during 1950s. He was finally awarded with the noble prize in 2010, for the development of human in vitro fertilization (IVF) therapy. [1]
2. Identify a recent paper on fertilization and describe its key findings.
This journal refers to the novel role for the rapid, fertilization-initiated calcium wave that triggers cell-cycle oscillations. Moreover, the oscillations of cell division of the embryo development could lead to a chaotic threat towards the formation of embryo.The outcome of this paper indicates a designed principle whereby the fast calcium-wave trigger following embryo fertilization harmonize cell divisions. [1]
3. Identify 2 congenital anomalies.
- Patau syndrome: also called trisomy 13, is a congenital (present at birth) disorder associated with the presence of an extra copy of chromosome 13. This extra chromosome may lead to mental and physical abnormalities especially heart defects.
- Harelip: "a congenitally deformed lip, usually the upper one, in which there is a vertical fissure causing it to resemble the cleft lip of a hare."
