A girl of normal stature is born to two parents with achondroplasia who have very short stature, especially disproportionately s

hort arms and legs. What is the probability (by Punnett Square analysis) that any pregnancy this girl eventually has will result in the birth of an infant with achondroplasia if her partner also has normal stature? (HINT: achondroplasia is an autosomal dominant trait)

Answer: 100% (4/4)
Explanation: Since the woman’s trait is dominant it will mask the normal stature in all their offspring. For example, A = achondroplasia trait, a = normal stature. It is very possible that the woman carries the trait and her offspring who may not possess it can pass it on to their offspring

Which effect is most likely caused by nondisjunction during meiosis?
Reil [10]
The answer to the question would be an extra chromosome.

Meiosis is a type of cell division which all sexually reproducing diploid eukaryotes have. It is finished in the process of fertilization, resulting in a zygote. The chromosome number is divided by half in this process, resulting in four haploid cells which all differ genetically from the parent cells. After DNA replication, two cell divisions take place, referred to as Meiosis I and Meiosis II. The first cell division generates the diversity of genetic information through the process of crossing over and random positioning of homologous chromosomes. The number of chromosomes is here reduces from diploid (2n) to haploid (n). 

In order to achieve genetic diversity, the homologous chromosomes need to separate in the first meiosis, and then the sister chromatids need to separate in the second meiosis, which brings us to four haploid cells. Nondisjunction is an error in this process that can happen in either the separation of homologous chromosomes, or the separation of sister chromatids. The result of nondisjunction in a chromosome imbalance, so a cell that has been affected by nondisjunction is an aneuploid cell. There are different types of aneuploidy, like monosomy (the loss of one chromosome), trisomy (the gaining of one chromosome) and different syndromes can occur as a result of this erroneous process. 

Out of the answers you provided, gaining an extra chromosome would be the answer, but a single chromosome loss can also be the result of nondisjunction.

The period of time during which an "explosion" of fossilized animals with bilateral symmetry are first found is the:
dedylja [7]
<span>The Cambrian. The Cambrian Explosion, which began roughly 545 million years ago, was a relatively rapid (~5-10 million years) diversification of multicellular life, including most of the animal phyla currently extant today. This was an evolutionary arms race of sorts, with many creatures achieving both larger size as well as symmetrical bodies and various structural supports, including skeletal systems. It was also a highly experimental times in terms of evolution, as many forms of creatures arose and went extinct in rapid succession during this period.</span>
