Answer;

-Convulsions and possible death

Explanation;

-Acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter used at the neuromuscular junction, it is the chemical that motor neurons of the nervous system release in order to activate muscles.

-It's found in parts of the peripheral nervous system, spinal cord, and areas of the brain. In the peripheral nervous system, ACh activates muscles that help the body move. When Ach is released to the muscle cells, the muscle contracts.

-There are many problems that can occur if ACh is blocked (muscles can't contract). One example is the black widow spider which uses venom that causes a flood of ACh into muscle cells and results in violent, uncontrollable muscle contractions, paralysis, and death for it's prey.

What assures that the two members of a homologous chromosome pair normally go to different daughter cells?
Setler79 [48]
Microtubules, a structure of the cytoskeleton, are responsible for assuring that the two members of a homologous chromosome pair go to different daughter cells. During Anaphase I, the pair of homologous chromosome move to opposite sides of the cell, through a process called segregation. Microtubules emerging from a structure on the cell surface, called spindle, bind to each chromosome of the pair and ensure the separation of the pair.

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

It occurred in the mother and in meiosis II stage

Explanation:

A karyotype shows that a child has Klinefelter syndrome (47,XXY) which involves a male child having an XXY chromosome in which the XX chromosome codes from the mother.

If the child is also color-blind (due to a recessive X-linked allele), despite his parents having normal color vision then the nondisjunction occurred in meiosis II because sister chromatids separate during meiosis II and the non separation is the reason for the Klinefelter syndrome.
