Answer:

The sternum may suffer a fracture

Explanation:

The sternum is not all solid bone, it has a section of cartilage at the tip as it approaches the abdomen. Therefore it is easy for it to be fractured if pressure is exerted below the line marked by the two nipples, which is a place where it is strong enough to be safely pressed by the heel of the hand.

You are a geneticist studying prader-willi syndrome. which chromosome do you focus on? you are a geneticist studying prader-will
shepuryov [24]
 The Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is due to the lack of expression of paternal genes of the 15q11-q13 region. It usually occurs sporadically, although some family cases have been described (<1%). Approximately 70% of cases are produced by deletions of paternal origin in the 15q11-q13 region. 28% of cases are due to maternal uniparental disomy and less than 2% are caused by imprinting alterations. A geneticist studying prader-willi syndrome should focus on chromosome 15, its structure or changes in the number, these anomalies are also related to other syndromes such as: Bloom Syndrome, Breast cancer, Isovaleric acidity among others.
