On average, what percentage of infants born to 45-year-old mothers have down syndrome

1 answer:

6 0

Probably 3 %. a mother could give birth to a child with Trisomy 21 at any age because Trisomy 21 is a mutation and mutations happen all the time. Not all mutations are as Down Syndrome. A child born to two homozygous brown eyed parents could be born with blue eyes even if no one in the family had blue eyes. The child would develop blue eyes due to mutation.

Use of which type of fertilizer improves air quality?

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

Recycled Ammonia

Explanation:

Ammonia can be extracted from livestock wastewater and used as a fertilizer. There are systems available that extract the ammonia and mix it with acids to create ammonium citrate or ammonium nitrate, both of which can be used as fertilizers. The extraction system removes ammonia from the waste, which significantly reduces the amount of ammonia that is released into the air. This has the added bonus of improving the air quality where animals are kept.

Explain the process of the electron transport chain. where do the molecules used in the process come from? what powers the proce

Advocard [28]

Process of Electron Transport Chain (ETC), is a series of transferring from electron donors to their acceptors. It basically means a transfer from high energy molecule to a low-energy molecule. This process of extracting energy by transfer is classified as a chemical reaction and we see it is the path taken of cellular respiration (NADH) and FADH2) and in photosynthesis, NADPH. It starts with an electron, NADH and FADH2, when the electron donors release a proton gradient and it creates an imbalance. Think of it as a see-saw with one heavy person on one end and a lighter one on the other end. The protons actually attempt to defuse back across this see-saw of a membrane and it releases energy during the cross over which we call Chemiosmosis.
