Which change to the chromosome causes Robertsonian translocation?

Biology
1 answer:
AlexFokin [52]3 years ago
4 0

Arms of the chromosome are unproportioned, with extra or missing genetic material is the change to the chromosome causes Robertsonian translocation. Thus, the correct option is D.

<h3></h3><h3>What is Robertsonian translocation?</h3>

Acrocentric chromosomes are affected by a Robertsonian translocation. The narrow region where both halves of an acrocentric chromosome unite lies at the end of the chromosome in an acrocentric chromosome.

Acrocentric chromosomes fuse together in a Robertsonian translocation. Two "long arms" of DNA are fused together in this process. Because the ends of their short arms have comparable repetitive DNA sequences that predispose them to fusion, only chromosomes 13, 14, 15, 21, and 22 are involved in this form of translocation.

Explain how the ozone layer forms, how human activities have damaged it, and the consequences of the destruction of the ozone la
Vikki [24]

Answer:

Ozone is formed in the stratosphere naturally.

High energy solar radiation strike the oxygen atoms O2, the two atoms split apart. The freed atom collides with another oxygen atom O2 forming O3 (Ozone)

Ozone layer is destroyed when chloroflourocarbons and halons.

CFCs and halons cause chemical reactions that break down ozone molecules. Consequences ofnozone depletion are that UV radiations are not filtered and they reach the earth causing damage to eyes and skin.

Explanation:

Ozone layer is a protective layer which protects from UV damaging radiations. It is formed when oxygen atoms are broken down by photolysis and a freed oxygen atom combines with another amd form O3.

Ozone is being depleted now because chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and halons—gases found in aerosol spray cans and refrigerants—are released into the atmosphere they decrease the ozone's ultraviolet radiation-absorbing capacity.Ozone layer depletion causes increased UV radiation levels at the Earth's surface, which is damaging to human health. Negative effects include skin cancers, eye cataracts and immune deficiency disorders.
