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.

What is an enzyme and how does it work?

Yuliya22 [10]

All of the work being done in side of a cell is being done by enzymes. A bacterial like E.coli has about 1,000 enzymes floating in the cytoplasm at about any time. The purpose of a enzyme in a cell is to allow the cell to carry out any chemical reactions very quickly. the reactions allow the cell to build or take things apart as needed. This is how the cell grows and reproduces. Hopefully my answer helps a little!

Krill in this food web is the primary consumer. Since the producer of the food web is the phytoplankton. Removing them from the food chain cuts the supply of food for secondary consumers such as seals, and whales. This disrupts the whole Antartic ecosystem since there will be a large amount of phytoplankton but not enough food for secondary consumers. This because secondary consumers are not able to eat phytoplankton due to their microscopic size. Only krill are able to feed on them and have the maximum energy gain from them.

What type of junction includes "micro tunnels" that are formed between two cells?

AveGali [126]

The gap junction includes "micro tunnels" that are formed between two This junction it is an intercellular connection that allows communication between cells and exchange of ions, second messengers, and small metabolites between adjacent cells
The micro tunnels are regulated gates through which this molecules pass.
