Question

How can the knowledge of the human genome be useful for in-vitro fertilization techniques? A) Genes with the desired traits can be introduced into the sperm of infertile males. B) The genes that cause infertility can be removed from the female ovum. C) Proteins can be injected into infertile individuals to increase fertility. D) Disease-free sperm and ova could be identified and used.

Answer 1

D) Disease-free sperm and ova could be identified and used.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the human genome is all the genetic information that regulates the entire organism of an individual. Knowing this genome is important for several reasons, but mainly to be able to prevent diseases, preventing the organism from suffering from them.

In in vitro fertilization methods (methods that allow an assisted union between sperm and oocyte), knowledge of the human genome increases the chances of success. That's because it allows disease-free sperm and eggs to be identified and used.

Answer 2

D) Disease-free sperm and ova could be identified and used.

Step-by-step explanation:

in-vitro fertilization or IVF is an invasive and complex method which helps human with fertility. Invasive method can be described as a process which invades the body by inserting instrument into the body. In this method mature eggs are retrieve and fertilized in a lab. IVF has some risk factors like-premature birth and multiple births , which can be a serious problem. It will increase the chances of early born baby with a low birth weight.
