Trisomy 21 look like in a karyotype as B. extra chromosome 21

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

In the first part of the twentieth century, there was much speculation of the cause of Down syndrome. In 1959 Jerome Lejeune and Patricia Jacobs, who working independently, first determined the cause to be trisomy (triplication) of the 21st chromosome.  Down syndrome (DS / DNS), also known as trisomy 21 is a genetic disorder caused by the presence of all or part of a third copy of chromosome 21. Trisomy 21 is the most frequent viable chromosome disease. In Down syndrome, 95% of all cases are caused by the condition in which one cell has two 21st chromosomes instead of one, so the resulting fertilized egg has three 21st chromosomes. Hence it named as the scientific name trisomy 21.

Three to four percent of all cases of trisomy 21 are due to Robertsonian Translocation in which two breaks occur in separate chromosomes, usually the 14th and 21st chromosomes. There is rearrangement of the genetic material so that some of the 14th chromosome is replaced by extra 21st chromosome. Picture below showed the the karyotype of a  male with trisomy 21.

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

Green plants have the ability to make their own food. They do this through a process called photosynthesis, which uses a green pigment called chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is located in a plant's chloroplasts, which are tiny structures in a plant's cells. This is where photosynthesis takes place.

Match the type of of evidence for evolution with the correct example. analogous structures vestigial structures homologous struc
gogolik [260]

• Homologous structures: Both Ostriches have wings similar in form to those of their ancestors, but that do not allow the birds to fly.

Homologous structures are those that have structural similarities but are different in function. For example, if we look at the anatomical structure of a bird’s wing, it is very similar in structure with a human arm. However, over the course of time they have evolved to perform different functions.

• Vestigial structures: The inner ear bones of mammals have evolved from bones that form the jaws of reptiles.  

Vestigiality refers to the process in which some structure lose their function over the course of evolution in some specie but they are functionally normal in other species.  Such a structure is the inner ear bones of mammals which donot perform an important function in mammals but do perform in reptiles.

• DNA sequence data: Both Genes involved in RNA replication are conserved among bacteria and animals, suggesting a common evolutionary origin.

The sequencing of genetic data is an excellent method of finding the evolutionary histories and relatedness of different organisms. This field of sciences is called phylogenetics and the mentioned example is the result of phylogenetics.

• Analogous structures: The jointed legs of insects and vertebrates arose independently, indicating a different evolutionary origin.  

Analogous structures are those that have similar function but they look very different in structure or anatomy. This is because they have been evolved from different ancestors and perform different functions. One example of these structures is mentioned, The jointed legs of insects and vertebrates that look different bur perform same function.
