Answer:

deletion of a chromosome.

Explanation:

<em>Deletion of a chromosome would have the most adverse effects on an individual.</em>

<u>A chromosome carries one or more genes on its loci and genes are responsible for the transmission of characters in all living organisms. Hence, deletion of a chromosome will represent a terrible effects on an individual.</u>

<em>Addition of chromosome may either lead to adverse or beneficial effects on the individuals because it means that new traits will be introduced through the new chromosome.</em>

<em>Deletion of part of a chromosome may not be so adverse on an individual, especially if the deleted section carries no important gene.</em>

The correct option is deletion.

Answer:

deletion of a chromosome.

Explanation:

Changes usually occur in the nuclear material (chromosomes) of a cell. These changes are called MUTATION. A mutation, depending on how it occurs, consists of different types. Mutation can result into deletion of a chromosome or addition of a chromosome.

Deletion mutation is the removal of a part of the chromosome segment or chromosome while Insertion mutation is the addition of a part of the chromosome segment to the original chromosome. Both insertion and deletion can be detrimental to the organism as it can lead to the serious genetic disorders, however, deletion of a chromosome has the most adverse effect.

During deletion mutation, information encoded in a particular chromosome is lost completely which can make the resulting individual deficient of certain traits that makes him/her normal but in Insertion mutation, a different chromosome is added which can sometimes be beneficial to the resulting organism e.g can confer resistance to certain unfavorable condition.

The Linnaean system of classification used a nested hierarchy to sort organisms into groups based on similarities and difference
Mariulka [41]
<h2>Answer </h2>

Option D - The Linnaean system of classification used a nested hierarchy to sort organisms into groups based on similarities and differences in their characteristics. kingdom → phylum → class → order → family → genus → species.

<u>Explanation</u>

The family is missing from the Linnaean system of classification that is used for nested hierarchy. Carolus Linnaean worked for the taxonomy. It is the system of classifying and naming organisms. This system includes eight taxa: domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species. Linnaeus presented us with a uniform way to identify species called binomial nomenclature.

Which of the processes are coupled (i.e. LINKED) in prokaryotic organisms but uncoupled (i.e. UNLINKED) in eukaryotic organisms?
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

Transcription & translation (Ans. A)

Explanation:

Prokaryotic organisms do not have membrane-bound organelles such as the nucleus, thus the process of transcription & translation occurs in the cytoplasm. Also because of the need for rapid life cycle, the mRNA molecules start to be made, & their ribosomes are ready to start making proteins more rapidly than Eukaryote, thus the process of the couple is quicker.

In eukaryotic organisms, transcription process start (happens) inside the nucleus of the cell and translation process can't start until the mRNA is transported out from the nucleus into the cytoplasm.
