Reproduction and Genetics Trivia Questions

1. Depo Provera is the name of what kind of birth control method?

From Quiz
Birth Control Methods

Answer: An injection

Depo Provera is a shot containing the ovulation-blocking progestin, given by the doctor every three months. Women usually experience a lighter menstruation, while half of women will have no period after a year's time. A negative side effect is that it has been linked to weight gain with women gaining an average 8 pounds over two years. It is also very slow to wear off. Women might take a whole year to be able to conceive again following their last injection.

2. At birth, an infant's skull has not yet been fully converted to bone. This leaves soft spots on an infant's skull known by which name?

From Quiz Reproduction, Maturing and Growing Up

Answer: fontanels

A sinus is an air-filled space in the human skull surrounding the nasal cavity. It is also found in human adults, not only in infants. Mandible is another name for the lower jaw and fountains are springs found on the earth. Fontanels of the infant's skull all close at different times, but all of them are fused within the first two years of the infant's life. The fontanels help the baby's head to pass easily through the mother's birth canal by giving some flexibility to the skull.

3. P is for Pass it on! What is the study of heredity called?

From Quiz Pardon My Peas

Answer: Genetics

I hope you chose genetics. Hermaneutics is the theory and methodology of interpretation, especially of scriptural text; ufology is the study of alien spacecraft and gnomonics is the science of surveying. I threw them in because I liked the definitions.

4. Twin pregnancies usually don't last as long as single pregnancies. What is the average length of pregnancy for twins?

From Quiz Two in a Dark Womb

Answer: 37 weeks

Full-term single pregnancies can last from 38 to 42 weeks. However, due to the limited space in the mother's womb, twin pregnancies usually are shorter. The average length of pregnancy has been shown to be about 37 weeks for twins. Despite the shorter gestation period, newborns are able to survive. In fetal development, the lungs start to be functional at around 24 weeks' gestation; therefore, a newborn can potentially survive if born at that time.

5. This condition is characterized by an accumulation of thick mucus in multiple organs including the lungs and pancreas. People with the condition often have chronic respiratory disease and digestive problems. What disease is this?

From Quiz Genetic Diseases 101

Answer: Cystic fibrosis

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a common genetic disease, particularly among the Caucasian population. The severity of the condition is largely dependent on the type of mutations inherited. Features of classic CF include chronic respiratory disease, frequent lung infections, meconium ileus in infancy, pancreatic insufficiency, chronic digestive problems, poor growth, organ damage, and male infertility.

6. Approximately what percentage of conjoined twins are female?

From Quiz The Fascinating Phenomenon of Conjoined Twins

Answer: 70%

70% of living conjoined twins are female, while 30% are male. No one knows for sure why. Approximately 60% of conjoined twins conceived are either stillborn or miscarried. 35% of those that do survive birth die within 24 hours due to the level of conjoinment and complications. It is believed that conjoined twins occur in approximately 1 out of every 400 identical twin pregnancies.

7. When a woman is having trouble conceiving, her doctor frequently prescribes what sort of test to determine if the fallopian tubes are blocked?

From Quiz Not Your Average Pregnancy

Answer: hysterosalpingogram

A hysterosalpingogram (HSG) test is when a special dye is injected into the woman's uterus. X-rays are then performed to follow the dye's path in the woman's uterus and through her fallopian tubes. If the tubes are clear (meaning there are no impediments for eggs to travel from the ovary to the uterus), the doctor should be able to see the dye going through a clear path. This is one test that should generally be performed on any woman who is having difficulty conceiving. Don't forget, just because one problem is found doesn't mean there can't be more problems.

8. From what date is a pregnancy dated?

From Quiz Pregnancy: From Conception to Birth

Answer: The date of the mother's last menstrual period

Interestingly, this makes a mother around two weeks pregnant on the very day her baby is conceived! Pregnancy is calculated as 40 weeks, but the foetus is usually (if not overdue or premature) 38 weeks old at the time of their birth.

9. What were the first (but not necessarily effective) condoms believed to be made out of?

From Quiz Contraception and Safe Sex

Answer: Woven fabric

Research claims that the first condoms were fashioned from woven fabric. Unfortunately, viruses and sperm could easily sneak through the fibers. The intestines of animals became a safer alternative, though still not as safe as the condoms of today. Did you know Casanova used condoms made of animal intestines that he decorated and tied in place with a pink ribbon?

10. Which sex-linked disorder is characterised by abnormal bleeding and failure of the blood to clot?

From Quiz Diseases Associated with Sex Chromosomes

Answer: haemophilia

The recessive genes for haemophilia are carried on the X-chromosome. For a male to suffer from the disease, he need only inherit one affected X-chromosome (from his mother). For a female to suffer from haemophilia, she must inherit two affected X-chromosomes (that is, from both parents). If a female inherits only one affected X-chromosome, then she will be a carrier but not suffer from the disease. Hence, it is mostly males who suffer from haemophilia.

11. What is the haploid number of chromosomes for human beings?

From Quiz Basic Genetics

Answer: 23

Most cells in the human body have 46 chromosomes (23 pairs) in their nucleus. Gametes have a haploid number of chromosomes, which is half the diploid number, i.e. 23.

12. It is recommended that women reduce their caffeine intake during pregnancy. What do most practitioners agree is a safe amount of caffeine?

From Quiz Healthy Pregnancy

Answer: No more than 200 mg per day

Although debates about the effect of caffeine on pregnancy persist, most practitioners advise women to keep their caffeine down to 200 milligrams a day. Keep in mind that tea also has caffeine, with black teas usually containing the highest amount. Chocolate is another caffeine source-though the amounts are smaller than in most teas and soft drinks. A 2003 Danish study linked an increased rate of stillbirth with consumption of four to seven cups of coffee a day. Also bear in mind that fresh ground and darker roast coffees have more caffeine, so check your labels carefully.

13. Who was the pioneer in the discovery of Angelman syndrome?

From Quiz Angelman Syndrome

Answer: Dr. Harry Angelman

Dr. Harry Angelman first described Angelman syndrome in 1965.

14. Instead of nine months, which was once the common practice, doctors measure pregnancy in terms of 40 weeks. In which week would conception typically take place?

From Quiz The 40 Weeks of Pregnancy

Answer: Week 2

Week 1 begins with the first day of the last menstrual cycle. At or around day 14, in a normal cycle, a woman will ovulate. If intercourse were to take place within a few days of ovulation, a pregnancy could occur. So essentially, during weeks 1 and 2, a woman's body is forming the ovum and preparing the uterus for the possibility of a conception.

15. What is the name of the defective gene responsible for Treacher Collins Syndrome?

From Quiz Craniofacial Anomalies

Answer: Treacle

Treacher Collins Syndrome (mandibulofacial dysostosis) is characterized by an almost complete absence or malformation of the ear, hearing loss, and a tiny jaw. The "treacle" gene is also known as TCOF1, and is located on the long arm of Chromosome 5.

16. Which protein is known as the guardian of the genome?

From Quiz Genes and Cancer

Answer: p53

p53 is a transcription factor. Transcription factors are proteins that bind to a specific sequence of a gene (promoter region) stimulating its transcription into mRNA, which is an intermediate template used by cells to translate genes into protein. p53 responds to DNA damage, e.g. UV light damages DNA. This damage stabilises this protein. It can then upregulate expression of proteins needed to repair DNA, thus by this action guard the genome.

17. This hormone is usually measurable only when a woman is pregnant.

From Quiz Prenatal Brain Teasers

Answer: hCG

hCG is detectable in maternal blood as soon as implantation occurs.

18. Alpha-fetoprotein is a protein produced by a fetus's liver that can be detected in a mother's blood. At what stage in a pregnancy is an alpha-fetoprotein test most accurate?

From Quiz Obstetrical Terminology

Answer: 16-18 weeks

High levels may be associated with spina bifida, while low levels may indicate Down's Syndrome.

19. Approximately what percentage of recognized pregnancies will result in a miscarriage?

From Quiz Pregnancy Complications

Answer: 20-25 percent

In addition, some women experience 'silent miscarriages' without ever having known they were pregnant.

20. As a general rule, a healthy couple in their 20's will not be treated for infertility until they have tried unsuccessfully to conceive for at least what length of time?

From Quiz Human Infertility

Answer: at least a year

A couple who are older, who have obvious infertility disorders, or certain health problems would be treated earlier.

21. Which hormone causes follicles (eggs) in the ovary to ripen?

From Quiz Human Fertility

Answer: FSH

FSH stands for 'follicle stimulating hormone'.

22. A muscular sac containing the testes and able to regulate temperature.

From Quiz Reproduction

Answer: scrotum

For sperm manufacture, the temp needs to be a little lower than body temp. When the scrotum contracts, the testes move closer to the body for warmth. High temps cause the scrotum to relax and the testes move away from the body keeping them cooler.

23. During the first eight weeks of pregnancy, the baby is referred to as:

From Quiz Pregnancy And Childbirth

Answer: embryo

After the first eight weeks the baby is called a fetus up until delivery.

24. What is the name of the soft spot on top of a baby's head?

From Quiz Baby Knowledge

Answer: fontanelle

25. After a baby is born they usually lose weight. How long does it take them to be back to their birthweight?

From Quiz Baby And Child Care

Answer: 2 weeks

At one week a baby will start gaining again (formula-Fed babies usually gain a little earlier) but by 2 weeks baby should be at birth weight. If they aren't, there may be problems.

26. Who coined the word 'Genetics' as the science of genetics by which animal traits are transmited to their offspring?

From Quiz Need New J(G)enes

Answer: William Bateson

Although Gregor Johann Mendel, an Austrian monk, had studied the inheritance of garden peas and published his findings in 1866, his work was either not noticed or it was ignored. William Bateson, a British biologist, founded and named the science of genetics. In 1900 during his own experiments he came across Mendel's publication.

27. Adenine is a kind of what?

From Quiz It's in the Genes...

Answer: base

28. The 'instructions' contained in every cell that has a nucleus are 'written' in...

From Quiz Basic Genetics

Answer: DNA

Short for 'deoxyribonucleic acid.'

29. There are two types of this T-shaped birth control method: the progestin based version, which lasts five years and the hormone-free version which lasts ten years. Which birth control device is this?

From Quiz Birth Control Methods

Answer: The IUD

The IUD (Intra-Uterine Device) is a plastic T-shaped device that fits into the uterus, and prevents fertilization. The IUD acquired a bad reputation in the 1980s when some accused it of causing longer lasting infertility. But it is now believed that the initial study and report were flawed and that it does not hurt fertility.
