<span>An unbalanced translocation is an abnormality caused by the rearrangement of parts between non-homologous<span> chromosomes. To simplify, unbalanced</span> translocation occurs when a child inherits a chromosome with an incomplete or extra genetic material from parent chromosomes with balanced translocations (an even exchange of genetic material and information with the chromosomes). </span> <span>Diseases such as cancer, infertility, and Down syndrome are caused by chromosomal or unbalanced translocation. In 1938, a paper was published by Karl Sax at the Harvard University Biological Laboratories demonstrating the effects of radiation (particularly in X-rays) to major genetic changes affecting the chromosomal translocations. The study led to the development of the field of radiation cytology. </span>

It occurs when a child inherits a chromosome with extra or missing genetic material from a parent with a balanced translocation.

Robertsonian translocations can occur.

The arms of the chromosome are not the same proportion as a person with normal chromosomes that do not have a mutation.

Difficulties include reproductive consequences, Down syndrome, congenital heart disease, and learning disabilities.

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

Yes, our body is made up of four Macromolecules.

Explanation:

Yes, the claim of the student is right that Macromolecules such as carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids makeup the human body because all the cells are made up of carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. We know that our body is made up of cells so we can say that our body is made up of four Macromolecules. For example, our muscles are made up of protein, the fats present in our body are the lipids, carbohydrates are stored in the form of glycogen In liver and nucleic acids are present in the form of DNA and RNA.

How did photosynthesis lead to the development of animals living on land?
Zolol [24]
<span>Around 2.4 billion years ago, the first photosynthetic organisms appeared and used inorganic matter like carbon dioxide and water to produce glucose, with oxygen released in the atmosphere. Because of this, oxygen levels rose; this is called the <em>Great Oxygenation Event</em><span><em>.</em> Through time, photosynthetic organisms evolved to live in land (now as plants). As concentrations of oxygen in the atmosphere became higher, marine animals evolved to utilize oxygen readily available from the atmosphere (rather dissolved in water) hence the evolution of marine animals to land animals capable of respiration in land. </span></span>
