Question

tina kold jensen and colleagues study human reproduction, especially in relation to denmarks current birth rate concerns. match the causes and effects related to human reproduction. drag each item on the left to its matching item on the right. note that every item may not have a match, while some items may have more than one match. high alcohol consumption presence of bisphenol a (bpa) reproducing later in life decreased semen quality increased levels of testosterone in males increased risk of birth defects decreased ova quality

Explanation:

• High alcohol consumption is known to have negative impacts on reproductive health, including affecting semen quality.
• Bisphenol A (BPA) is an endocrine - disrupting chemical. It can interfere with normal hormonal balance. In males, it can lead to decreased semen quality. In general, exposure to such chemicals can also be associated with an increased risk of birth defects as it may disrupt normal fetal development processes.
• Reproducing later in life is mainly related to the female reproductive system. As women age, the quality of ova (eggs) decreases.

Answer:

• high alcohol consumption: decreased semen quality
• presence of bisphenol A (BPA): decreased semen quality, increased risk of birth defects
• reproducing later in life: decreased ova quality
