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.

Sister chromatids present during mitosis are
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

The correct answer is e. All of the above.

Explanation:

Sister chromatids are made during the synthesis phase of the cell cycle. In the synthesis phase, the homologous chromosomes get replicated and sister chromatids are produced so they are produced by duplication of chromosomes.  

As sister chromatids are produced by replication, therefore, they are identical copies of parent chromosomes. These sister chromatids are joined to each other at centromere. They get separated during the anaphase of mitosis and moves to the opposite pole.

Therefore the right answer is e.

makkiz [27]
When we use water, we often use too much. We waste it. When washing cars, showering, brushing our teeth etc. Because of wastefulness, there are places that don't have the luxury of being able to wash their car well, and can't water their lawns for more than a few minutes a day.

I hope I was able to help. Best of luck.
