<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.

Which of the following examples is an endothermic process? Which of the following examples is an endothermic process? Heat is ne
pychu [463]
<h2>Endothermic Process</h2>

Explanation:

An example of endothermic process is :

Heat is needed for water to boil.

Endothermic process can be defined as a process in which heat energy is absorbed from the surrounding that bring about changes in the molecular level like breaking chemical bonds, inter-molecular force of attraction etc.

Boiling of water is an endothermic process because during this process water absorbs heat , its kinetic energy increases and then it boils.

In two or more complete sentences explain how to balance the chemical equation, KClO3 ⟶ KCl + O2 and include all steps.
Basile [38]
First of all you have to make both sides of the equation equal

KClO3 -------- KCL + O2

this is the way i would do it first

K - 1                K - 1
Cl - 1               Cl - 1
O - 3                O-2   From this we can see that the oxygen of both don't equal

So than from this we would need to find the common factor of the oxygen which is 6. So we would multiply 3 by 2 to get 6 as well as 2 by 3 to get 6.
The equation will now look like
K - 1                         K - 1
Cl - 1                        Cl - 1
O - 3 (2) = 6             O - 2 (3) = 6

so the final answere:

KCl2O3 --------- KCl + 3O2
