Answer;

-Trisomy

Explanation;

-Trisomy is a chromosomal disorder characterized by an additional chromosome, so the person has 47 instead of 46. An example of trisomy is the Patau syndrome.

-Patau syndrome or trisomy 13 is a type of chromosome disorder characterized by having 3 copies of chromosome 13 in cells of the body, instead of the usual 2 copies. Trisomy 13 cases are caused by random events during the formation of eggs or sperm in healthy parents (meiosis).

How is constructing a perpendicular bisector similar to constructing an angle bisector? how is it different?.
ruslelena [56]

An angle bisector is a line segment that splits an angle into two equal halves while a perpendicular bisector is a line segment that divides the other line segment that is opposite to it perpendicularly.

  • Angle bisector and perpendicular bisector are similar as the angle is split in two by both.
  • Perpendicular and angle bisectors differ in the way that an angle bisector is not required to make a perpendicular angle with the opposite side, but a perpendicular bisector must.
  • The perpendicular bisector makes a right angle from a horizontal line, in contrast to the angle bisector, which divides an angle in half. They both "divide" the object in two.
  • A line known as a bisector divides an object into two equally sized portions. A line that cuts through an angle to produce two identical angles is known as an angle bisector.
  • For instance, if we establish an angle bisector with a 90-degree angle, the line that passes across the angle will produce two new 45-degree angles.

Among the tasks in coping with life-threatening illness described by kenneth doka, which phase is characterized by "living with
Triss [41]

Among the tasks in coping with life-threatening illness described by Kenneth Doka, the chronic phase is characterized by "living with the disease".

Kenneth Doka (1995–96) divides the process of dying into three phases, namely the acute, the chronic, and the terminal phases of dying, during which the individual initially is given the diagnosis, then lives with the disease and ultimately surrenders to death.

This phase can be quite long and the supporters may become comfortable in their caregiving role and adjust to the notion of death. This is an important adaptation since a great deal of the care for the terminally ill is given by the family members.

Doka (1998) notes that this phase "is often a period of continued stress, punctuated by points of crisis".
