Qué tipo de anomalía cromosómica es el síndrome de down y Cómo se manifiesta? ¿Qué tipo de anomalía cromosómica es el síndrome d
sashaice [31]

Answer:

El síndrome de Down es el resultado de un niño nacido con un cromosoma adicional agregado al número esperado de cromosomas (generalmente destinado a ser 46).

El síndrome de Angelman se produce cuando un niño nace con una mutación en el 15º cromosoma heredado de los padres.

Explanation:

En el síndrome de Down, se agrega un cromosoma adicional al complemento de cromosomas que un niño debe heredar de sus padres. Se supone que un niño tiene un complemento de 46 cromosomas (23 cada uno) de ambos padres. Una vez que hay un aumento en este número, se establece el síndrome de down. Es una condición cromosómica común. Puede manifestarse como una trisomía, causada por la no disyunción durante la división celular, lo que resulta en 3 copias del cromosoma 21 en lugar de 2 copias, mosaicismo, donde una mezcla de células se clasifican en 2 grupos que contienen un complemento completo de 46 cromosomas y el otro un el cromosoma adicional lo hace 47 y la translocación ocurre cuando un cromosoma 21 adicional o parte del 21 se une al cromosoma 14. Los niños generalmente tienen cabezas y orejas pequeñas, cuellos cortos, caras planas, etc.

En el síndrome de Angelman, el cerebro se ve afectado en gran medida, debido al efecto de la mutación en el sistema nervioso. La pérdida de la función en el 15º cromosoma es responsable del síndrome de Angelman, que resulta en la incapacidad del niño para hablar, mantener el equilibrio, moverse, un desarrollo deficiente tanto física como intelectualmente.

What is embedded in the phospholipid bilayer that helps in the movement of larger molecules ?
gladu [14]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf A. \ Channel/Transport \  proteins}}

Explanation:

The phospholipid bilayer is also known as the cell membrane. It covers cells and regulates the transport of substances. Certain ones can pass and others cannot, depending on certain factors like size and polarity.

Smaller substances tend to diffuse or move across the membrane quite easily. However, larger molecules have a much harder time. Many depend on special proteins embedded in the membrane. These are called transport proteins and they form a channel so large molecules can still move in or out of the cell.

So, salt, water, and fats do not contribute to the movement of larger molecules, but <u>channel or transport proteins do and choice A is correct. </u>

Anvisha [2.4K]
<span>The Answer is "R" group.
Amino acids are organic compounds and have two carbon bonds. The three parts of an amino acid are the amino group, the carboxyl group, and the R group. In amino acids, alpha carbon is bonded to hydrogen atom and the other groups. That R group is different in amino acids and shows how the protein monomers are different from each other. </span>
