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).

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is D. On the plasma membrane.

Explanation:

Prokaryotes do not have mitochondria to synthesize ATP but ATP synthesis takes place in prokaryotes on the plasma membrane as the plasma membrane contains the enzymes that are required for ATP synthesis.

The process of ATP synthesis is just like in the mitochondria. NADH helps in building the proton gradient in the outer portion of the membrane by the help of electron carriers embedded in the plasma membrane. Then these protons come back in the cytoplasm through ATP synthase enzyme complex.

This entry of protons helps in the generation of ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate with the help of ATP synthase enzyme. Therefore the correct answer is D. On the plasma membrane.

The answer is to add a 0 hours control.

In every experiment, the control group is necessary. That way, effects of all variables except the independent one will be minimized. The<span> independent variable is variable that is not affected in the experiment. In this example, the amount of light. The dependent variable is called dependent because it depends on the independent variables. In this example, the dependent variable is the average volume of oxygen (photosynthesis).
But to minimize effects on variables, it is necessary to include the 0 hours group, so it can be compared to the other groups. </span>
