Units that determine traits ?
Answer:
6 in total; 3 viable and 3 non-viable
Explanation:
Robertsonian translocation is one of the types of structural alteration in chromosomes, in other words, a rearrangement between chromosomes, which can occur between five pairs of acrocentric chromosomes (chromosomes with the centromere close to the end of one of the "arms"): 13, 14, 15, 21 and 22.
An individual who has Robertson's translocation between chromosomes 14 and 21 generally has only 45 chromosomes.
In addition, a carrier of this type of translocation can theoretically produce 6 types of gametes, however 3 of them are not viable.
As for the three remaining gametes: One is normal, and among the other two, one is balanced and the last is unbalanced.
So, theoretically, when combining a normal gamete, the probability of a child with down syndrome being born through these conditions is 1/3 (considering that the probability of producing a certain type of gamete is equal for the three types).
Answer:
D. The site of transcription is within the nucleus
Explanation:
this is because the process of DNA is converted into RNA
This requires a protein called RNA polymerase. It will copy certain regions of DNA and convert them into RNA (this occurs in the nucleus) and then this RNA goes to the cytoplasm, where it will be translated into a protein.
Therefore, its D.
