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.

People who are AB can receive blood from all types of blood groups.

<h3>What is Blood group?</h3>

This is the classification of blood based on polymorphisms in antigens on the surfaces of the red blood cells.

There are four types of blood groups and the AB is known as universal recipient which means it can receive blood from any of them. Also the patient should receive blood that is positive for Rh as it will not make anti-Rh antibodies which may destroy cells of the fetus.

How the does the shape of an enzyme affect the reaction?
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

The shape of an enzyme determines which reaction it can catalyze.

Explanation:

Each enzyme is specific to one type of reaction. According to the structure of each enzyme, it has an active site capable of binding to a specific substrate, so the shape of the enzyme determines the type of reaction to be catalyzed.

Once the reaction occurs, the enzyme releases the product of the reaction and the enzyme is available for another reaction.

Regarding the other options:

  • <em>The shape of an enzyme no depends on the reaction that it needs to catalyze. </em>
  • <em>Due to their specificity, enzymes can only catalyze one reaction at a time</em>
  • <em>The shape of the enzyme is not altered after the reaction.</em>
