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.

How does a cells surface area change compared to its volume when the cell grows
EastWind [94]

Answer:

As a cell grows bigger, its internal volume enlarges and the cell membrane expands. Unfortunately, the volume increases more rapidly than does the surface area, and so the relative amount of surface area available to pass materials to a unit volume of the cell steadily decreases.

Now that you have reviewed normal blood flow, why does a patient with left-sided heart failure have a low systolic blood pressur
Mnenie [13.5K]
<span>The Left-sided Problem of the heart involves the lack of enough supply of oxygen induced blood and the blood which is unable to reach the heart goes to lungs causing breath issues. Another issue with this problem is that left side of the heart pumps blood into the body, so when it fails, less blood will be pumped into the arteries.</span>

How will a punctured lung affect your ability to inspire?
Allisa [31]
1) Pneumothorax in this case; a spontaneous pneumothorax can be life threatening cause the lung will eventually cause vacuum used by the lung to fill with air, and as you constantly expand your lung it decreases and collapses. So C is going to be the answer.

2) Acetylcholine is the hormone responsible for the "Rest and digest". It is the direct opposite of the Fight and Flight reaction which is marked in Bronchodilation, Increased HR, and increased BP. B

3) Secretin is responsible for stimulating the release of bile by the liver. Secretin is released by the duodenum, the junction of the stomach and small intestines. B

Look at Figure 19–7 p.544. Which of the following explains why the edges of Africa and South America fit together like two piece
Ymorist [56]
This question is incomplete. However, the answer to this question is Continental Drift. Approximately 300 million years ago, there were not separate continents, only one giant super continent that we call Pangaea. Over time, scientists realised that the Earth's outer shell slides over the inner mantle through plate tectonics. Around 200 million years ago, Pangaea began to break up through the process of continental drift. Gondwana, incorporating present-day <span>Africa, South America, Antarctica, India and Australia, split from Laurasia (Eurasia and North America). Approximately 150 million years ago, Gondwana started to break up into the present day continents</span>
