Answer:

The correct answer is option A.

Explanation:

Robertsonian translocation occurs of 2 acrocentric chromosomes with no problems for the person carrying it in balanced form. In an unbalanced form, it produces chromosome imbalance leads to mental disorder or malformations.

In this translocation p arm or long arm join with other chromosome's long arm, carrier is normal due to the presence of 2 copies of all chromosome arms so there will be all the copies of essential genes.

Thus, the correct answer is - option A.

Answer:

The correct answer is C. be more likely to have cancer at some point in his/her life.

Explanation:

Cell cycle checkpoints are controlled by different proteins which are coded by different genes. They are important in cell cycle regulation and stops cell cycle immediately if they find any problem in the cell like mutation.

The cell cycle will not be continued if the problem does not solve and cell death will occur which prevents cancer by preventing the mutation to spread into new cells.  

Therefore if a mutation occurs in certain genes that enforce a checkpoint on the cell cycle then the mutated gene will pass in new cells and the mutated cells will grow uncontrollably due to no checkpoints so the person will probably have cancer at some point in his or her life.
