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.

erastovalidia [21]
The giraffe head is higher than its heart so the blood pressure in the head must be lower than in the heart. The pressure is directly related to the density, gravity, and the height. The calculation would be:

<span>P = ρ*g*h 
</span>P= 1.05* 10^3 kg/m3 * 9.8m/s2 * 2m= <span>20 580 pascals= 20.58 kpa</span>

Answer: The non-vascular plant group are

A) Chlorophytes

B) Charophytes

C) Bryophytes

Explanation:

Charophytes, Chlorophytes and

Bryophytes are those plants having multicellular body and doesn't have a vascular bundle i. e. xylum and phloem. In vascular plants, xylum ia is responsible for the transportation of water and phloem is responsible for the transportation of food materials from one part to another. These bundles are absent in Chlorophytes, Charophytes and Bryophytes.

What are check points and why are they important in the cell cycle
pentagon [3]
Hmm this is a rough explanations but because to be sure cells are made properly and not misfunctioning or going Rouge.

Cancer cells is an example of this, a cell goes rouge and starts doing it's function on it's own but outside of it's brother cells function slightly different turning into a growth or etc. The body thinks it is normal during the check body it's composed of the dna that passes this check.

viruses and other things don't pass this check and things like white blood cella come shut it down.

that's why doctors poison the area they find the cancer. to send white blood cells there to shut the area down not passing the check.
