Answer:

A XY or XY gamete fuses with a normal gamete (X or Y)

Explanation:

Meiotic nondisjunction is the phenomenon whereby chromosomes fail to separate during meiosis I or II. Meiotic nondisjunction leads to the formation of abnormal gametes I.e. gametes with additional or missing chromosomal piece.

The fusion of these abnormal gametes produced by nondisijuction with a normal gamete (X or Y chromosome). This leads to a condition called ANEUPLOIDY, which is a chromosomal disorder. In the case od Calix, XXY is an ANEUPLOIDY state that could have resulted because there was a fusion between a XX gamete and Y gamete or XY and X. The XY or XX gametes are produced as a result of nondisijuction.

What step occurs first in the embryonic development of most bones?
Viktor [21]

A bony collar forms.

The bone collar is a cuff of periosteal bone that forms around the diaphysis of the hyaline cartilage model in developing long bones. The bone collar appears during endochondral bone development to support the growing bone and help it retain its shape.

If a rat population that lives in a cold northern tundra climate was moved to the desert, where temperatures are much warmer, an
anygoal [31]

Answer:

d. A smaller body size

Explanation:

The smaller a body size is the larger the body surface area is. Larger body surface area would allow for increase in lost of more excess heat to the environment.

Therefore, hypothetically, one of the obvious adaptation that would be evolved by the rat population that was moved from their previous cold northern tundra climate to a desert environment is a smaller body size. This would enable them in cooling off and preventing over-heating.
