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.

sergeinik [125]

Answer:

Five days prior to ovulation and day of ovulation represents a six day fertile window of a women’s cycle

Explanation:

In the five days prior to ovulation and day of ovulation, the chances of conception are high. These six days represents the fertile window of a women’s cycle during which the sperm with a life span of five days and egg with a life span of 24 hours can fuse. However, likelihood of conceiving increases if two individuals mate in the first three days of these six days fertile window of women’s cycle.

Did any alleles disappear from your population? if so, why? if not, why not? how does this relate to the most fit phenotype
dmitriy555 [2]
Alleles can disappear from a population through natural selection. This relates to the most fit phenotype because the breed with the desirable trait, or the most fit, will live and produce off spring. Eventually the less desirable trait and its corresponding allele will disappear after multiple generations pass. If the environment does not change alleles of non desirable traits will disappear. <span />
