Nondisjunction is most likely responsible for the failure of a gamete to receive a copy of a particular chromosome.

What is non-disjunction?

When a pair of homologous chromosomes fails to segregate or separate at anaphase, both of the pair's chromosomes pass to the same daughter cell. This most likely happens during meiosis, but it can also happen during mitosis to create a mosaic individual. These are some potential causes of nondisjunction, while the exact cause or causes are unknown. Growing maternal age is linked to trisomy 21 and trisomy 18 fetuses and newborns, indicating that the mother's age may be a significant etiological component. Chromosomal structural defects such translocations and pericentric inversions might hinder chromosome pairing during meiosis and encourage nondisjunction.

explain why the top of an energy pyramid does not have an arrow showing energy going back down to the bottom.
SCORPION-xisa [38]
<span>The answer to your question is that all of the energy is ultimately radiated into empty outer space as heat. The second law of thermodynamics mandates that all processes that involve the transfer of energy MUST radiate a portion of this energy into space as waste heat. This is why when you run down the street you get hot and sweaty, and this is why automobiles MUST have a functioning radiator and nuclear power stations MUST have evaporation cooling towers or else be located near a large body of water to exchange excess waste heat into, etc., etc. It is also true that the transfer of energy at each step up the food chain is very inefficient. They say it takes around 50 lbs of corn to produce one pound of beef, and it probably takes 20-30 pounds of beef to produce one pound of human tissue. The rest of the energy just goes into your living room as radiated body heat. I hope this helps.</span>
