False

Explanation:

  • During the meiosis, the cell is dividing two times and chromosomes are getting replicated. In this process, there can be errors. One of those errors is called nondisjunction.
  • As a result of the meiosis one, the cell gets divided into two cells and each will carry 23 chromosomes each. At this stage, These chromosomes are connected in the form of sister chromatids. During the meiosis two, these sister chromatids will pull apart and form four cells. Each one will be haploid cells. In meiosis one, chromosomes will undergo crossing over so this separation of chromosomes in the second meiosis is know as disjunction. However, in this process of separation, the chromosomes do not need to get distributed correctly. The errors that happened in this process are known as nondisjunction.
  • In humans, meiosis will happen and form sperms or eggs( gametes) which are haploid cells and later they combined to form a zygote which is the diploid cell.

Frank has Klinefelter syndrome (47, XXY). His mother has normal skin, but his father has anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia, an X-l
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

b. Frank received the mutant chromosome from his father. Nondisjunction occurred in his father during the first meiotic division.

Explanation:

As you can see in the question above, Frank has Klinefelter syndrome which causes him to have normal skin patches and skin patches without sweat glands. Her mother has completely normal hair, which may indicate that the defective gene was not supplied by her. In addition, Frank's father has anhydrotic ectodermal dysplasia, an X-linked condition where the skin does not contain sweat glands.

Although Frank's father's defective gene is linked to the X chromosome, it is likely that Frank inherited the defective gene from his country. This may have occurred because during meiosis I, his father's genes did not show disjunction. As a result, Frank presents a mosaic of his phenotype, because an inactivation of the X chromosome occurred.

<span>B.The existence of vestigial structures
</span>
Vestigial structures have been used for long by evolutionists to support the theory of evolution. These organs are believed to have been in use in the past lives but as the species adapts to new forms of life and lifestyle,the vestige organs becomes obsolete,but are not removed by the body. An example of vestige organs in human being are the appendix,tail bone,and mammalian grands in men.
