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.

levacccp [35]
<span>The three groups of amphibians: Frogs, Salamanders, Caecilians are different when they reach adulthood. Frogs have four legs with strong hind legs and no tails. Salamanders have tails and four short, weak legs that cause them to walk instead of jump. Lastly, Cacilians have no legs and are burrowing animals.
Amphibians must live in moist environments because they loose water through their thin skin. They need to be near water to replenish the lost water. Also their skin helps them breathe and they can get oxygen from the water.</span>
