Why is having an extra chromosome 21 tolerable to the point that someone with this condition can survive to maturity?

I think that having an extra chromosome 21 is tolerable to the point that someone with this condition can survive to maturity because it does not replicate.

There should only be a pair of chromosome 21. In the event that there are 3 chromosome 21, the person that has this extra chromosome has Down syndrome. Changes in the number and structure of this chromosome may result to delayed development, intellectual disability, but not immediate death.

A man with normal vision marries a color-blind woman. Red-green color blindness is an X- linked recessive disorder. They have a

jeyben [28]

Answer: The probability is 100%.

Explanation: The chromosome X is related to gender. A man carries two different chromosomes (XY) and a woman carries two similar chromosomes (XX). The offspring of a couple will inherited:

If it is a boy, he inherites the chromosome Y from his father and X from his mother;
If it a girl, she inherites X from her father and X from her mother;

In the question, the woman is color-blind, which means she carries the recessive alleles: $X^{d}X^{d}$

The man, on the other hand, is normal, so his X-linked genotype will be: $X^{D}Y$ .

Now, since they have a daughter, she inherited her double X from each of her parents, which means she inherited one $X^{d}$ from her mother and one $X^{D}$ from her father.

So, the daughter's genotype can only be heterozygotic $X^{D}$ $X^{d}$ in other words, the probability is 100%.

Based on these data alone, identify the most appropriate hypothesis that explains the effect of peptides 1 and 2 on the quorum-s

DochEvi [55]

Data shows results of an experiment which was added to each peptide to culture the TRAP. Mutants of S. aureus and culture of the Agr. mutant of s. aureus.
Peptide 1 and three blocks Agr pathway
Peptide 2 blocks TRAP pathway
This is because the mutants are already blocked for one of the pathways.
Therefore it gives way to determine which pathway each peptide act on.

One oak tree cell with 14 chromosomes undergoes meiosis. How many cells will result from this process, and what is the chromosom

Alchen [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is - 4 and 7 chromosomes in each cell.

Explanation:

Meiosis is the cell division in which one parent cell produces four daughter cells with a half number of the chromosome than parent cells.

According to the question oak cell performed meiosis which is reduction division so the number of cell will be four and 7 chromosome will be present in each daughter oak cell.

Thus, the correct answer is - 4 and 7 number of chromosome in each.
