Nucleotides are the macromolecular building blocks of DNA and RNA. ... The nitrogenous base that makes up the nucleotide can vary between adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine (in DNA) and uracil (in RNA). Furthermore, the sugar can also vary between deoxyribose in DNA and ribose in RNA.

Each RNA nucleotide consists of three parts: a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogen-containing base. The four RNA bases are adenine, uracil, guanine, and cytosine—often referred to as A, U, G, and C. RNA shares three bases in common with DNA: adenine, guanine, and cytosine. Instead of uracil, DNA contains thymine.

Answer:

Trisomy 21 would show presence of an extra copy of chromosome 21 in a karyotype

Explanation:

Humans are diploid organisms, having 23 pairs of chromosomes (46 chromosomes in each cell. Trisomy represents a chromosomal disorder, with presence of an additional chromosome (total 47 chromosomes, instead of 46).

Down syndrome is a genetic disorder caused by trisomy of chromosome 21. Karyotype is used to represent appearance and number of chromosomes present in nucleus of a cell.

Thus, in karyotype trisomy 21 there would be an additional copy of chromosome 21. Diagram of karyotype trisomy 21 is attached with answer.

A karyotype is the number and appearance of chromosomes in the nucleus of an eukaryotic cell.

Detailed records of change within individual species show that although characters commonly remain relatively unchanged for long

Evgen [1.6K]

It is consistent with Punctuated equilibrium. A theory that states that when a species show up in the fossil record they will turn into a stable record, showing almost zero evolutionary change through their geological history. When the species do change, this change is rapid and split the species into tow rather than make the original species evolve into another one.
