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.

Which of the following is the adaptation that allows animals to survive in high altitudes, which contain lower levels of oxygen?
kaheart [24]

The correct answer is option b. higher levels of hemoglobin.

The partial pressure of the oxygen decrease as the height from the sea level is increased. Due to the decrease in the partial pressure, the amount of the oxygen delivered by the hemoglobin to cell decrease. So, in order to cope up the condition, the amount of the hemoglobin in the blood is increased. the increased amount of the hemoglobin delivers more oxygen than the normal amount of hemoglobin can do, so, it help in survival at low oxygen levels.

Explain how a steam engine that moves a train obeys the laws of conservation of energy
storchak [24]

Answer:

steam engine, machine for converting heat energy into mechanical energy using steam as a medium, or working fluid. When water is converted into steam it expands, its volume increasing about 1,600 times. The force produced by the conversion is the basis of all steam engines. Steam engines operate by having superheated steam force a piston to reciprocate, or move back and forth, in a cylinder. The piston is attached by a connecting rod to a crankshaft that converts the back-and-forth motion of the piston to rotary motion for driving machinery. A flywheel attached to the crankshaft makes the rotary motion smooth and steady. The typical steam engine has an inlet valve at each end of the cylinder. Steam is admitted through one inlet valve, forcing the piston to move to the other end of the cylinder. This steam then exits through an exhaust valve. Steam from the other inlet valve then pushes the piston back to its original position, and the cycle starts again. In a single-cylinder steam engine the exhaust steam is usually expelled directly into the atmosphere. A compounded steam engine has several cylinders, which the steam passes through successively until, leaving the last cylinder, it is condensed into water and returned to the boiler. From the Greek inventor Heron of Alexandria to the Englishmen Thomas Newcomen and John Cawley, many persons contributed to the work of harnessing steam. However, James Watt's steam engine, patented in 1769, provided the first practical solution. Earlier engines depended on atmospheric pressure to push the piston into the cylinder, where a vacuum was created by sudden cooling of its steam content. Watt's use of a separate condenser resulted in a 75% saving in fuel. It also made possible the use of steam pressure to move the piston in both directions. Watt's continuing efforts produced a governor, a mercury steam gauge, and a crank-flywheel mechanism, all of which prepared the steam engine for a major role in the Industrial Revolution. Sailing vessels gave way to steamboats, and stagecoaches yielded to railroad trains as the steam engine was perfected. Transmitted by belts, ropes, shafts, pulleys, and gears, the energy from steam engines drove machines in factories and mills. Now, however, steam engines have been replaced in most applications by more economical and efficient devices, e.g., the steam turbine , the electric motor, and the internal-combustion engine, including the diesel engine. They are still sufficiently economical to be used in industries where steam is necessary for some purpose in addition to that of driving an engine.
