*[[''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."

1. Identify the origin of In Vitro Fertilization and the 2010 nobel prize winner associated with this technique.



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.

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."
