Answer:

The correct answer is B the extra chromosome has typically undergone significant rearrangements.

Explanation:

Trisomy is a type of aneuploidy which is characterized by the presence or occurance of an extra copy of a particular chromosome.As a result the chromosomes in which the trisomy is occurring contain 3 arms instead of 2. Trisomy occur due to non disjunction  of a particular chromosome during meiosis.

 As a result a second copy of chromosome is present inside the cell containing that abnormal chromosome.If the same thing occur in the cell of gamet undergoing fertilization then there is a high chance that the embryo will carry that extra chromosome.

 In case of humans  Trisomy result in the rearrangement extra chromosome which ultimately give rise to

1 Trisomy 18 occur due to extra copy of chromosome no 18

2 Trisomy 13 occur due to extra copy of chromosome no  13

3  Trsomy 21 occur due to extra copy of chromosome no  21  which is also called down syndrome.

One reason fungi are no longer classified as plants is the presence of chitin in their cell walls.
Andrews [41]
The answer is A, true. 

Fungal cells have cell walls which are made out of chitin, unlike plant cells, their cell walls are made up of cellulose. 

Other reasons that why fungi are not classified as plants include that because they have no chloroplast, instead they feed on dead organic matters. Another reason is that they store carbohydrates in form of glycogen, instead of plants which store carbohydrates as starch instead.

In what way can an economist use a production possibilities graph to express efficiency?
Marysya12 [62]
A production possibility curve shows all maximum possibilities of output for two goods. This curve oftentimes takes the form of a curve to the right. An economy that is coinciding with this curve is said to be efficient. However, if the economy is operating below the curve, then it is said to be inefficient.

Most recessive disorders are on the _________ and thus not x-linked flash
telo118 [61]
Recessive genetic disorders result from inheriting 2 defective recessive alleles of gene ( one from each parent ). The x - chromosome holds about 10%  of all human genes. Sex chromosomes are: males XY, females XX. Y-traits occure in males only. Y-disorders are rare.
Answer: Most recessive disorders are on the Autosomal recessive gene, and thus not x-linked.
