Question

what are the risks associated with advanced paternal age in reproduction?
○ decline in fertility
○ increased risk of a child with down syndrome
○ increased risk of a child with autism
○ genetic defects in sperm, decline in fertility, and increased risk of a child with autism
○ decline in fertility, and increased risk of a child with down syndrome

Explanation:

Advanced paternal age is linked to sperm quality issues (genetic defects), reduced fertility, and higher autism risk in offspring. Down Syndrome is primarily associated with advanced maternal age, so options including it are incorrect. The last option combines all valid risks of advanced paternal age.

Answer:

genetic defects in sperm, decline in fertility, and increased risk of a child with autism
