Answer:

Nondisjunction.

Explanation:

Down Syndrome is a condition caused by trisomy 21, in which the person has 47 chromosomes instead of 46. The error in cell division called nondisjunction    (causes trisomy 21).

Nondisjunction Is the failure of paired chromosomes to divide during cell division, so in this division both chromosome go to one daughter cell. This cause errors in chromosomes number such as Down Syndrome (Trisomy 21) and turner syndrome (Monosomy X).

) You treat some cells with a proteolytic enzyme that is too large to penetrate the cell membrane (Set 1). Another group of cell
Advocard [28]

Answer:

Proten W

Explanation:

SDS-PAGE gel is a method used for the separation of proteins in which proteins are separated based on their length (smaller proteins move faster through the gel, due to less resistance).

When treated with proteolytic enzymes, proteins are cut and become short fragment. This means that the fragments formed after the use of proteolytic enzymes, will move faster and thus, migrate a longer distance. Proteolytic enzymes in Set 2 cells will act only on plasma membrane proteins (because they cannot penetrate), while in Set 2 they will act on both, plasma membrane and interior proteins. Control group will have only the large fragments (not treated with enzyme).

Protein W travels the same distance on a gel of proteins from Set 1 and Set 2, but different than control group. It means that the proteolytic enzyme worked the same on Set 1 and Set 2.
