Explain how an unbalanced translocation occurs and how it affects humans

Biology
1 answer:
Serga [27]3 years ago
6 0
Translocations may be balanced when there is an even exchange of material with no genetic information extra or missing, and ideally full functionality. Or can be unbalanced where the exchange of chromosome material is unequal resulting in extra or missing genes. For example a child who has an unbalanced translocation may have learning disabilities, developmental delay and health problems. The seriousness of the disability depends on exactly which parts of which chromosomes are involved and how much missing or extra chromosome material present.

Does speciation occur in specific characteristic and predictable manner in all species?
BARSIC [14]

<u>Answer</u>:

No, speciation doesn’t occur in specific characteristics and predictable manner.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Speciation means creation of a new kind of plant or animal. When a particular species separates from its members of species and develops its own characteristics, speciation occurs.

There are different types of Speciation. In allopatric speciation, species separate due to geographical conditions like waterways or mountain range and evolve into separate species. Whereas in Sympatric speciation, species evolve into separate ones without any change in geographical conditions. Other types of speciation are artificial, peripatric and parapatric type of speciation.  So, these changes are neither specific nor predictable.

Explain the characteristics scientists use when observing organisms and placing them in the six kingdoms .
Rus_ich [418]
<span>The characteristics that scientists used to classify living organisms into six kingdoms include the following:
1. Cell type: living organisms are classified into prokaryotes and eukaryotes based on the presence of nucleus and distinct arrangement of the organelles in their cells.

2. Mobility: living organisms are categorized into kingdoms based on their ability or inability to move about.

 3. Cell structure: the cells structure was used to divide living organisms into plants and animals. Those living organisms that have cell wall are classified as plants while those who do not have cell wall are classified as animals.

4. Number of cells: living organisms that are made up of only one cell are classified as unicellular while those with many cells are termed multi cellular.

 5. Reproduction method: living organisms are classified based on whether they reproduce sexually or asexually.

6. Manner of obtaining energy: living organisms that can prouduce their own food are called autotrophs while those that can not produce their own foood are termed heterotrophs. Plants are essentially categorised as autotrophs while animals are described as heterotrophs.</span>
