Answer:. Nondisjunction during meiosis I in either the male and female gamete

The failure of   homologous chromosome to separate at mitosis,  or failure of sister chromatids  to separate at Anaphase of  meiosis I or ii is called  non-disjunction.

 In this  cell division anomaly the  unsegregated chromosomes  are  separated  into  cells as single chromosomes, therefore extra copies are  therefore inherited.This  result is one of the cell having an extra copies of  chromosomes than others( chromosomes 21.

If this extra  chromosome copies  is segregated into a sperm or egg, the resulting zygote cells will   have extra  copy as  chromosome 21, and hence Down syndrome.

→It is more common in Meiosis 1 than ii,because of longer duration of the first stage of division than meiosis ii,given rooms to errors.

→Most common in women(with age increase)  than men because of exchange of telomeres in   them,which  worsen with age. Their Meiotic mechanism  which   weaken with age, and  more prone to errors compare to men,

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

A scientific researcher performs scientific methods to answer any natural process. The researcher will follow the protocol of a scientific method which includes: observe the natural phenomenon, ask related questions, suggest a hypothesis, perform the experiment and suggest answers.

In the given question if the researcher has to study about the flu virus, the possible questions he would ask will be:

1. The life cycle of the flu virus.

2. Effect of the virus on the life of an organism.

3. The mechanism used by the virus to replicate and to infect any organism.

4. Molecular mechanism of a virus.

Jon likes hiking. He observes that whenever he hikes up a hill he breathes heavier than when he is on flat ground. Which 2 state
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

-Sensors in the brain detect a lack of oxygen.

-The muscles in his body need more energy and therefore more oxygen.

Explanation:

-Sensors in the brain detect a lack of oxygen.

-The muscles in his body need more energy and therefore more oxygen.

-The body has too little carbon dioxide to maintain function.

-The body is using carbon dioxide instead of oxygen to make energy.

-Blood pressure has decreased, so less blood is being pumped to the muscles.

<em>The correct answer would be that </em><em>sensors in the brain detect a lack of oxygen</em><em> and t</em><em>he muscles in the body of Jon need more energy and therefore, more oxygen.</em>

At sea level, the atmospheric pressure easily allow oxygen to permeate the cells of the lung and diffuse into the blood. At high altitudes, air pressure is generally lower and permeation/diffusion through the cells of the lung into the blood becomes difficult.

<u>Without adequate oxygen, the body cannot generate energy needed for physical activities of muscles. Consequently, the sensors in the brain detect a lack of oxygen and the body system reacts by breathing heavily to compensate for the oxygen shortage.</u>
