Answer:

Translocation

Explanation:

Translocation is a chromosomal defect in which part of a chromosome breaks off and reattaches backward on the same chromosome.

Translocation can happen due to many reasons like:

A) Some of the changes that arise around the time of conception  or production of sperm or egg.

B) The inheritance of altered chromosome from father or mother.

Translocations can be divided into two forms:

  • Reciprocal translocation
  • Robertsonian translocation.

In reciprocal translocations,  fragments of two chromosomes break off from two different places, break and swap each other's segments. While in  Robertsonian translocation one chromosome attached with other.

Hope it help!

Ne4ueva [31]
The answer to this question would be: B<span>. It relaxes blood vessels in Harvey’s penis, allowing them to expand.

Viagra active component is sildenafil citrate which has the ability to relax the smooth muscle in the artery and dilate the arteries of the penis. As the arteries in penis dilate, the blood flow into penis will be increased. This will make penis filled with blood and give pressure to nearby veins causing them to close. All this event cause increased pressure in penis that was making the erection

If the outside temperature decreases by 20 degrees Celsius, what will happen to a reptile’s body temperature?
oksian1 [2.3K]

The reptile's body temperature rises when the external temperature rises. When the temperature drops, so does his body temperature. If a reptile feels cold because the external temperatures have made his blood cold, he'll lie in the sun to warm up. However, if the external temperature is too high, he scurries under a rock, dives in a pool or finds some kind of shade where he can cool down. Reptiles and other animals with ectothermic systems are vulnerable to extreme changes in temperature because they can't control their temperatures internally. They can control their body temperatures only by moving to an environment with a suitable ambient temperature.
