What would happen if one of the chromosomes in a homologous pair failed to separate from its homologue at the end of metaphase I
Zepler [3.9K]

The correct answer is: daughter cells will have abnormal chromosome numbers and this condition is called aneuploidy.

Nondisjunction is the failure of homologous chromosomes (or sister chromatids) to separate during the process of cell division and consequently lead to aneuploidy. There are three forms of nondisjunction:  

• Nondisjunction in meiosis I (pair of homologous chromosomes unable to separate in meiosis I),  

• Nondisjunction in meiosis I (sister chromatids unable to separate during meiosis II), and

•  Nondisjunction in mitosis (failure of sister chromatids to separate during mitosis)

To extract energy from carbohydrates, glucose is oxidized through several metabolic processes, resulting in end products of carb
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:the item that has steps involved in glucose oxidation in an aerobic environment is ATP.

CH12O6 + 6O2 + 36Pi^-1 + 36ADP^3- + 35H^+ = 6CO2 + 36ATP^4- + 42H2O

Explanation:

Aerobic oxidation of glucose is coupled to the synthesis of as many as 36 molecules of ATP: Glycolysis, the initial stage of glucose metabolism, takes place in the cytosol and does not involve molecular O2. It produces a small amount of ATP and the three-carbon compound pyruvate.
