-Trisomy

-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).

Leto [7]
No idea about the scientific reasoning, but the leaves of the plant are where the most photosynthesizing has to happen. In order for the plant to get energy it has to absorb the most light. So it creates broad leaves. The reason they are green is because chloroplasts are green. I believe that the cells in the leaves have more chloroplasts so that they can catch more sunlight.<span />

Complete question

Which term describes the perception of the body's movement through space?

A. nociception

B. neurasthenia

C. kinesthesia

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

C - Contains the embryonic disk

Explanation:

After an egg is fertilized, it begins to divide into smaller cells, from the 1 cell stage, to 2, to 4 and so on. Then, on the third day, the cells fall within 16-200 cells and it is then called a <em>morula</em>.

On the fifth day, the morula becomes a ball of calls which is now differentiated into an <em>inner cell mass and a trophectoderm</em>. The inner cell mass becomes the <em>embryo</em> as development goes on and the trophectoderm, becomes the <em>placenta</em>.

As development goes on further, the floor of the amniotic cavity is formed by the embryonic disk, a layer of prismatic cells derived from the inner cell mass.

The embryonic disc develops into 3 layers:

  • Endoderm
  • Mesoderm
  • Ectoderm

There is a major differentiation of cells which gives a template  for the origin of development of specific organs of the embryo.
