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?

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).

If all photosynthesizing organisms were removed from the planet would animals still be able to perform cellular respiration?
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

This is because oxygen will not be available for breathing and energy will not be released for cellular activities because photosynthesizing organisms have chlorophyll and trap light energy ffrom sunlight , using carbondioxide and water to produce glucose and oxygen. Oxygen is the by product which is the gas that is inhaled by living organisms during respiration and also break glucose to release ATP. Therefore without these organisms, respiration will be difficult.
