Answer:

Extra chromosome, missing chromosome or damaged chromosomes

Explanation:

Genetic disorders can be seen/detected from a karyotype photograph. a Karyotype represents the number and visual appearance of the chromosomes in the cell nuclei of an organism.

Karyotype is a laboratory technique that is used to produce the image of chromosomes of an individual in the laboratory . this technique is used to detect the presence of genetic disorders in an individual because and individual is supposed to have 26 pairs of Chromosomes and if it is less or more in the Karyotype its means there is a genetic disorder in the individual.

Answer:

The correct answer is: extra chromosomes, missing chromosomes, and/or damaged chromosomes.

Explanation:

Chromosome abnormalities are a group of genetic disorders characterized by abnormalities in their chromosomes, whether structural or numerical. This type of condition can be detected by a karyotype.

A karyotype is a laboratory technique used to observe all the chromosomes of an individual to see if there are any problems in it. A karyotype is a picture of all your chromosomes.

A normal karyotype shows 23 pairs of chromosomes (46 in total).

When there's an extra chromosome, it receives the name of trisomy (+ the number of the chromosomal "pair" where there's the extra chromosome). For example: Trisomy 21 - Down Syndrome.

When there's a chromosome missing, that is called monosomy (+ the number of the pair where there's a chromosome missing).

Damaged chromosomes can lead to loss of genetic material or translocation of said information.

Which of the following statements about the ‘Hobbits’ of Flores is FALSE?

Answer:

d. CT scans of the fossilized skulls of Hobbits suggest they were probably microcephalic modern Homo sapiens.

Explanation:

The work of Falk et al in 2007 compared the CT of microcephalic humans skulls and normal humans skulls, finding the variables that allow them to classified with 100% success. When compared with the skulls of the ‘Hobbits’ of Flores, the size is similar to the microcephalic skulls in humans but the shape features sort it with normal humans skulls. They concluded that the ‘Hobbits’ of Flores are a separate species.

Three reasons that might have influenced authorities in the department of agriculture to use a higher percentage of Nguni on the

djyliett [7]

Answer:

Tolerance to heat, light and parasite.

Explanation:

Characteristics of tolerance to heat, light and parasite are the three reasons that might use a higher percentage of Nguni on the sector of livestock farmers in South Africa in 2003. The temperature of South Africa is extremely high which can be tolerated by the Nguni cattle due to its good characteristics. The Nguni cattle can bear extreme temperature, high intensity of light and resistance to parasites make it best suited for that environment.

Single-celled eukaryotes arose from prokaryotes. Later, which larger, more complex organisms did they evolve into?

sdas [7]

A l,ll,lll and lV would be the answer because a eukaryote is an organism with complex cells, or a single cell with a complex structures. In these cells the genetic material is organized into chromosomes in the cell nucleus. Animals, plants, algae and fungi are all eukaryotes. There are also eukaryotes amongst single-celled protists.
