Trisomy 21 can be caused by nondisjunction of chromosome 21, or by inheriting a Robertsonian fusion of chromosome 21 attached to

chromosome 14. Suppose an individual is a carrier for this Robertsonian fusion, as seen below. How many different gametes can this individual produce?

3 0

Answer:

6 in total; 3 viable and 3 non-viable

Explanation:

Robertsonian translocation is one of the types of structural alteration in chromosomes, in other words, a rearrangement between chromosomes, which can occur between five pairs of acrocentric chromosomes (chromosomes with the centromere close to the end of one of the "arms"): 13, 14, 15, 21 and 22.

An individual who has Robertson's translocation between chromosomes 14 and 21 generally has only 45 chromosomes.

In addition, a carrier of this type of translocation can theoretically produce 6 types of gametes, however 3 of them are not viable.

As for the three remaining gametes: One is normal, and among the other two, one is balanced and the last is unbalanced.

So, theoretically, when combining a normal gamete, the probability of a child with down syndrome being born through these conditions is 1/3 (considering that the probability of producing a certain type of gamete is equal for the three types).

Mila [183]

Answer:

The green buble

Explanation:

Antibiotics are added to the animal feed or drinking water of cattle, hogs, poultry and other food-producing animals to help them gain weight faster or use less food to gain weight.

Because all uses of antimicrobial drugs, animals contribute to the development of antimicrobial resistance, it is important to use these drugs only when medically necessary.

the production (e.g. growth enhancement) purposes as well as for the treatment, control or prevention of animal diseases. Even today, it is not entirely understood how these drugs make animals grow faster. The drugs are primarily added to feed, although they are sometimes added to the animals’ drinking water.

Animals with a three-chambered heart would include:_______
Setler79 [48]

Animals with a three-chambered heart would include Amphibians.

  • Amphibians have three-chambered which comprises of two Atria and one ventricle. Examples of Amphibians include Frog, Toads, Salamanders.
  • In Amphibians heart blood from the single ventricle travels to the lungs, skin, and body, where it is oxygenated. Before being pumped out of the heart, deoxygenated and oxygenated blood are mixed in the ventricle.
  • This is because the Amphibians have low rate of metabolism and thus requires less oxygen for their metabolism.
  • As a result heart's load to deliver oxygenated blood to body is lowered.

Thus, from the above pointers we can conclude that only Amphibians from the option have three-chambered heart.

Scientists claim that global climate change is threatening many species with extinction. Which statement provides the strongest
solniwko [45]

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

The animals that live on the earth in many different regions because they are adapted to live in a particular habitat. The animals of the polar regions cannot adjust living the Sahara desert and the reptiles living in the desert cannot live in polar regions.

But many of the species are dependent on the seasonal change and they only emergence or produce during specific period of time.

But if due to global climatic change there will be no emergence of particular species and their species will be extinct over a period of time. So, the global temperature needs to be constant in order to support life of the species dependent on the seasonal temperature change.
