Answer:
a) There are lots of genes on chromosome 1 could be affected, and the gametes could be imbalanced (missing segments of DNA or whole chromosomes)
b) Roughly 50%
c) No. I would advise that the couple undergo preimplantation genetic diagnosis, so that a zygote carrying the normal copy of chromosome 1 could be selected.
Explanation:
Chromosome 1 is one of the largest and most gene rich chromosomes. An inversion that covers 70% of its length would cover lots of genes.
While an inversion on its own would not seem problematic (as all the genes on the chromosome are still there), when it comes to meiosis, the sister chromatids would not be able to correctly align, and crossing over would further complicate this. It could also lead to unbalanced gametes missing entire parts of the chromosome. Therefore, there are likely numerous genes that will be affected and messed up by the inversion.
This could explain the high incidence of past still births, as if lots of genes are affected, and non-functional, the pregnancy would be rendered non-viable, or highly deleterious causing premature death.
b) There is a 50% chance of a child inheriting the defective copy of chromosome 1 (and 50% of a chance of them inheriting the normal chromosome 1. Therefore, there is likely a 50% chance that future offspring would be affected by defects
c) No. I would advise that the couple undergo preimplantation genetic diagnosis. In this, the couple undergoes in vitro fertilization (IVF). When embryos are produced through IVF, they can then be tested for the presence of the abnormal chromosome. Embryos will only be implanted into the mother if the normal chromosome 1 is present.
Answer:
The factor that affects the size of the crystals and the texture of the rock is the cooling rate of the molten rock or magma. If the magma cools rapidly, the crystal formed is very small. ... On the other hand, if the magma cools slowly, the crystal formed is large. This rock has a coarse-grained texture.
Explanation:
Children's who live at high altitudes develop a larger chest cavity by adulthood than children who live at lower altitudes. It is an example of developmental adaptations which occurs at the level of the individual during the time of critical life stages.
Mediastinal tumors occur in the chest cavity and it contains the heart, trachea, connective tissue, thymus gland, and large blood vessels which are between the lungs. Chest mass in children and in infants may be secondary tumors.
Other digestive diseases include: ... Intestinal problems, such as polyps and cancer, infections, celiac disease, Crohn disease, ulcerative colitis, diverticulitis, malabsorption, short bowel syndrome, and intestinal ischemia. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcer disease, and hiatal hernia.
A limit on certain fishes (ex: limit 100 fish per person, has to between 3-5 in, these are just examples)

protection of certain species (if caught, must return, cannot keep, endangered species)
