Meiosis is a type of cell division by which chromosome number is reduced to half. It occurs during gamete formation. However, during anaphase I, a pair of chromosome fails to separate or during anaphase II sister chromatids fail to separate during anaphase II of meiosis. Both the cases results into nondisjunction of chromosomes. Nondisjunction forms abnormal number of chromosomes in the gametes.  

Nondisjunction causes human disorders in autosomes from chromosomes 1-22. The examples are Down syndrome or trisomy 21, an extra copy of chromosome 21. People with Down syndrome have 47 chromosome instead 46.

g Choose the correct answer from the list. Group of answer choices DNA sequences that are deduced by comparing many related DNA
REY [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Group of answer choices DNA sequences that are deduced by comparing many related DNA sequences are called CONSENSUS. Unlike DNA synthesis, RNA synthesis requires TRANSCRIPTION. PROMOTERS direct RNA polymerase to the initiation site. RNA synthesis complexes containing DNA, RNA, and polymerase perform TRANSLATION. RNA synthesis (tRNA, mRNA, and rRNA) takes place in complexes containing DNA, RNA, and polymerase are called TRANSCRIPTION BUBBLES. The expression of beta-galactosidase requires the induction of operons by addition of REPRESSORS.

Which process brings energy to the biosphere?
Nostrana [21]
The process that brings energy to the biosphere is PHOTOSYNTHESIS.
Photosynthesis is the process by which energy from the sun is trapped and used to produce food by plants. During photosynthesis, carbon dioxide and water react together in the chloroplast in the presence of sunlight to form starch and oxygen. Oxygen is the by product of the reaction. The energy from the sun is stored inside the starch molecule in form of chemical energy and this energy is made available to the animals when they consume the produced starch. Thus, photosynthesis is the source of all energy in the biosphere.
