Answer:

Answered below.

Explanation:

A karyotype is defined as the size, shape, and number of chromosomes present in an organism.

An analysis is usually done on a karyotype to see if individuals have abnormal numbers or sizes of chromosomes. Such abnormalities may arise from;

Deletion: which implies that a chromosomal part is missing.

Duplication: where parts of a chromosome are repeated.

Translocation: which occurs when a chromosomal part breaks off and gets attached to another chromosome.

Nondisjunction: in which chromosomes do not separate from the parent cells.

Common chromosomal disorders arising from these abnormalities include;

Down's syndrome

Edwards syndrome

Turner's syndrome

Klinefelter syndrome

Prada-willi syndrome

Cri-du-chat syndrome

Patau's syndrome

How does survival of the fittest help keep the ecosystem balanced
xz_007 [3.2K]

The former means those most fit, those with the best set of skills and features for the given environment, will live to pass on the said features in the offspring (with ants, for example, being incredibly fit and adaptable creatures). The latter suggests there is an objective way to measure the "meaningfulness" of each species and having only those most meaningful survive. But this differs from species to species - for a house cat, the great white shark is utterly meaningless.

 Also, the meaningful animal has no actual advantage over another to help him survive, whereas fittness is exactly that - it is the ability to survive, ability to pass on your genes.

 While I understand it may seem so in the case of domestic animals that the most meaningful to the human are those allowed to reproduce, it is actually the same law: those most adapted for human purpose (which, of course, in the given case means the most meaningful) ARE the fittest here in the human-controlled environment.

relative speed= motorcycle speed - car speed
</span>relative speed= 80MPH- 55MPH= 25MPH
