What are the mechanisms by which aneuploidy and polyploidy are caused? What are the mechanisms by which aneuploidy and polyploid

y are caused? The principal cause of aneuploidy is chromosome nondisjunction during mitosis or meiosis. Polyploidy in nature can result either from the duplication of euploid chromosome sets from a single species or from the combining of chromosome sets from different species. The principal cause of aneuploidy is paternal chromosome nondisjunction during meiosis. Polyploidy in nature results from the combining of chromosome sets from different species. The principal cause of aneuploidy is chromosome nondisjunction during mitosis. Polyploidy in nature can result from the deletion of one chromosome set during meiosis or during the first mitotic division. The principal cause of aneuploidy is maternal chromosome nondisjunction during meiosis. Polyploidy in nature results from the deletion of one chromosome set in somatic cells.

The correct answer is:

The principal cause of aneuploidy is chromosome nondisjunction during mitosis or meiosis. Polyploidy in nature can result either from the duplication of euploid chromosome sets from a single species or from the combining of chromosome sets from different species.  

Aneuploidy is a phenomenon when there is the presence of an abnormal number of chromosomes in a cell (an extra or missing chromosome). Usually it appears as a result of improper cell division (chromosomes don’t separate) and it can cause many genetic disorders.

Polyploidy refers to a state when there are more than two sets of chromosomes (one from mother one from father). Triploid (three sets of chromosomes) and tetraploid (four sets of chromosomes) chromosomes are examples of polyploidy. This phenomenon is most common in plants.

Describe the process that results in the formation of a tetrad.
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

A tetrad is a four part structure formed during the prophase I of meiosis I which is formed by the homologous chromosomes which is composed of two identical chromatids.

The tetrad formation takes place when a proteinaceous meiosis-specific nuclear structures called synaptonemal complex is formed between two homologous chromosomes which mediates the tight associations of the  homologous chromosomes.

The synaptonemal complex consists of two ladder like lateral elements which attaches the chromatin of the homologius chromosomes. The central region of the synaptonemal complex is composed of the transverse filaments and the central element which bridge the space between the the lateral elements.

This attachment of the chromatin to the synaptonemal complex mediates the chromosome pairing and form tetrad.

Isolated on its own, bloodplasma is a light yellow liquid, similar to the color of straw. Along with water,plasma carries salts and enzymes. The primary purpose of plasma is to transport nutrients, hormones, and proteins to the parts of the body that need it.

Hemoglobin is the protein inside red blood cells that carries oxygen. Red blood cells also remove carbon dioxide from your body, transporting it to the lungs for you to exhale. Red blood cells are made inside your bones, in the bone marrow. They typically live for about 120 days, and then they die.

White blood cell. ... White blood cells(also called leukocytes or leucocytes and abbreviated as WBCs) are thecells of the immune system that are involved in protecting the body against both infectious disease and foreign invaders.

Platelets are tiny blood cells that help your body form clots to stop bleeding. If one of your blood vessels gets damaged, it sends out signals that arepicked up by platelets. The plateletsthen rush to the site of damage and form a plug, or clot, to repair the damage.
