Which effect is most likely caused by nondisjunction during meiosis?

The answer to the question would be an extra chromosome.

Meiosis is a type of cell division which all sexually reproducing diploid eukaryotes have. It is finished in the process of fertilization, resulting in a zygote. The chromosome number is divided by half in this process, resulting in four haploid cells which all differ genetically from the parent cells. After DNA replication, two cell divisions take place, referred to as Meiosis I and Meiosis II. The first cell division generates the diversity of genetic information through the process of crossing over and random positioning of homologous chromosomes. The number of chromosomes is here reduces from diploid (2n) to haploid (n). 

In order to achieve genetic diversity, the homologous chromosomes need to separate in the first meiosis, and then the sister chromatids need to separate in the second meiosis, which brings us to four haploid cells. Nondisjunction is an error in this process that can happen in either the separation of homologous chromosomes, or the separation of sister chromatids. The result of nondisjunction in a chromosome imbalance, so a cell that has been affected by nondisjunction is an aneuploid cell. There are different types of aneuploidy, like monosomy (the loss of one chromosome), trisomy (the gaining of one chromosome) and different syndromes can occur as a result of this erroneous process. 

Out of the answers you provided, gaining an extra chromosome would be the answer, but a single chromosome loss can also be the result of nondisjunction.

Talja [164]

This exaggerated feature has received various interpretations such as being adapted for better feeding and temperature maintenance.

Explanation:

The largest beak of Tuco toucan relative to body size is an adaptation for feeding. Tuco toucon use their beaks to pluck fruits to eat, they catch insects, frogs and reptiles for feeding. When sleeping they keep their beaks under their feather to keep itself warm. Also, the large beaks help it radiate heat and maintain its temperature. They increase their blood flow to their beaks and maintain temperature  to survive in the tropical climate.

Leto [7]

In cell signalling, after a signal is sent, signal molecules bind to receptors on target cells and some activity in a target cell changes.

There are three stages in cell signalling :

1. The process of reception occurs when a signalling molecule from the extracellular environment is recognized by a cell. The chemical signal, which is also known as a ligand, is recognized as a signal when it attaches to a receptor protein either on the exterior of the cell or on the interior of the cell.

2. Transduction: This process occurs when the signalling molecule interacts with the receptor, which causes a change in the protein that makes up the receptor. The process of transduction is kicked off by this modification. In most cases, signal transduction occurs through a pathway that consists of numerous stages. The signal transduction route contains relay molecules, each of which influences the subsequent molecule in the pathway.

3. Reaction: In the third and last step, the signal causes a certain cellular response.
