Answer to Question 1

Answer: 1, 3
Explanation: Turner syndrome and Kleinfelter syndrome are directly related to chromosomal inheritance. With these syndromes, an incorrect combination of chromosomes occurs, leading to abnormalities in sexual development. Gender dysphoria is a feeling of distress that arises when individuals experience psychosocial incongruence between their assigned gender and the gender with which they more clearly identify. Chromosomal inheritance is not implicated in paraphilic disorder. Intersex condition is caused by hormonal dysfunction during fetal development, not a chromosomal inheritance.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1
Explanation: Excitement (arousal) is a vascular phenomenon involving the parasympathetic (cholinergic) nervous system. It results in erection, clitoral engorgement, genital and breast swelling, and lubrication caused by the neurotransmitters acetylcholine, dopamine, and nitric oxide. Plateau, orgasm, and resolution do not involve the release of the neurotransmitters acetylcholine, dopamine, and nitric oxide.
