Answer:

The correct answer is nondisjunction.

Explanation:

The nondisjunction of the chromosome can be defined as the failure of separation of sister chromatid during meiosis. Due to the nondisjunction during the cell division, one daughter cells gets two chromosome and other daughter cell gets none of it. In case, the daughter cell having two chromosome is fertilized by a normal gamete it can result in trisomy.

In the case of Down Syndrome, the nondisjuction of the chromosome number 21 takes place.

Answer:

The correct answer would be non-disjunction.

Down syndrome refers to the genetic disease caused by the non-disjunction of chromosome number 21.

Non-disjunction refers to the event in which the homologous chromosomes or sister chromatids fail to separate properly during a cell division.

In Down syndrome, the sister chromatids of chromosome 21 fail to separate properly which results in the formation of a gamete with 2 copies of chromosome 21.

When this gamete fertilizes with another gamete, it results in the formation of a zygote with 47 chromosomes, that is, 46 chromosomes + extra copy of chromosome 21.

Many different organisms live in Amanda’s garden. The diagram shows a simple food web of some of the organisms in her garden.
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

The snakes keep the mice from overpopulating, which could deplete their resources.

Explanation:

The mice and the moles are not competing against each other as they feed on different food. The problem is that if the mice population is not regulated, their very quick reproduction will cause overpopulation in very short space of time. The more mice there will be , the more food will be needed, so very soon the resources will be depleted, resulting in collapse of the mice population. This is where the snakes come in action, as they eat mice, so they are the ones that control and keep their population stable, thus not allowing the mice to overpopulate the area and destroy themselves.

what do you think causes different phenotypes in organisms how does the phenotype depend on its genes (genotype)​
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

They difference in phenotypes is dependent on the genes. The more dominant gene will overpower a recessive gene, or if there are two recessive genes together, that will be the phenotype. When things are cross breaded they introduce different genotypes that allow for different looking phenotypes.

Example: Dominant blue flower (Bb)  mixed with recessive yellow flower (bb)

        B            b

b       Bb          bb

b       Bb          bb

There is a 50/50 chance the offspring will be either blue or yellow
