Further information from another source:

Jill is heterozygous for gene A and is going to have a child with Jack, who is homozygous recessive for gene A.

Answer:

Maternal meiosis II

Explanation:

Jill has the genotype Aa, and Jack has the genotype aa. Jack can only contribute the a, whereas Jill can contribute A or a. For the child to have 2 copies of the A allele and two copies of the a allele, that means the nondisjunction must have happened in the mother.

As for the stage of meiosis, non-disjunction in meiosis I means that homologous chromosomes fail to separate properly. This would mean that the child would inherit Aa from its mother and a from its father. This is not the case.

Non-disjunction in meiosis II means identical sister chromatids fail to separate properly, which means the child would inherit either aa from its mother, or AA from its mother, and a from its father. This could give the genotype AAa. Therefore, nondisjunction must have occurred in maternal meiosis II

Discuss one of the major issues in toxicology from any perspective.
tangare [24]

A controversial issue of toxicology is the use of chemical additives in food.

Food additives are substances intentionally added to foods for the purpose of preserving, enhancing or modifying their physical, chemical, biological or sensory properties without impairing their nutritional value. However, it is necessary to control the use of these substances, as ingestion of these substances may pose health risks.

Additives are found in most processed foods, such as cookies, breakfast cereals, soft drinks, jellies, artificial juices, candies and a host of other foods in the diet of Brazilians, especially children.

Thus, its consumption should be controlled, as the health risk is confirmed by a sum of scientific studies. The three main ills associated with excessive consumption of these substances are cancer, food hypersensitivity and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

Some audiences are even more vulnerable to consumption, such as pregnant women, the elderly, people with little food and children under three years. In the case of children the attention should be greater because the digestive and urinary systems are not yet fully prepared to process these substances.

The more industrialized the product, the more chemical additives it will have. The ideal is to prepare fresh products at home. However, as is often not possible, it is important that you read the label and choose the products with the least additives.
