3 copies of chromosome in karyotype shows that person has genetic disorder called down syndrome.

<h3>What do you mean by karyotype?</h3>

A karyotype test examines the structure, shape, and number of chromosomes in your body. The sections of our cells that hold your genes are called chromosomes.

Instead of having one copy of chromosome 21, an egg or sperm cell may preserve both copies. If this egg or sperm is fertilized, the baby will be born with three copies of chromosome 21. This is referred to as trisomy 21. Trisomy 21 is present in around 95% of people with Down syndrome. Instead of the usual two copies of chromosome 21, each cell in the body has three copies of chromosome 21 in this kind of Down syndrome.

In humans, the trait for tongue rolling is dominant over the trait for the inability of a human to roll his/her tongue. If a het
MrMuchimi

50 percent of the offspring would be expected to have the ability to roll their tongues If a heterozygous male is crossed with a homozygous recessive female.

Explanation:

Information given:

the ability to roll tongue is dominant, the genotype would be RR, Rr

the inability to roll tongue is recessive trait the genotype = rr

Given that heterozygous male is crossed with homozygous recessive female, the genotype is

Rr X rr

Punnet square shows that:

    R    r

r   Rr  rr

r  Rr  rr    The genotype ratio is 1:1

                 phenotype ratio is 1:1

There are chances of 50 % offspring having the ability to roll their tongues as they are heterozygous and have the dominant allele for rolling of tongues.
