Answer:

The correct answer is non-disjunction at the time of meiosis.

Explanation:

A disorder, which takes place in males exhibiting an additional X-chromosome and is an outcome of an error in cell differentiation resulting in anomaly known as the Klinefelter's syndrome. Due to non-disjunction the egg or the sperm may acquire an additional X-chromosome. When these unusual cells take part in the genetic makeup of a person, then that individual most probably suffers from the condition termed as Klinefelter's syndrome.  

In the majority of the circumstances, the division of the cells takes place generally during the development of the sperm, and at the same time, there may be certain errors at the time of egg development. Generally, the condition is mostly seen in the offspring of women that conceive after the age of 35.

Does it matter what order you put the alleles in? Like Bb and bB?
BabaBlast [244]
• It is important. If we write 'bB' , it would be wrong.

◘ First, the dominant genes are written (like B) . This is a must. This is a rule.

◘Recessive genes (like b)  are always written after from the dominant gene. 


=> Namely, 'Bb' should be. 


This is the right shape :)

Types of chlorophyll in p680 and p700 and why it matters
Bingel [31]
P700 is photosystem I. It includes chlorophyll a 670, 680, 695, 700, Chlorophyll b, carotenoids. The active reaction center of photosystem is p700, as it absorbs light of a wavelength longer than 680nm.
P680 or the photosystem II has the following pigments: chlorophyll b, 660, 670, 680, 695, 700, phycobilins, and xanthophylls. The active reaction center, in this case, is p680 of chlorophyll a, as it absorbs the light having a wavelength shorter than 680nm.
