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.

DNA replication occurs during which phase of the eukaryotic cell cycle?
wariber [46]

In eukaryotic cells the DNA can be found in the nucleus mainly. so DNA replication takes place in the nucleus during the S phase of the cell cycle.

Also in eukaryotic cells there are mitochondria and chloroplasts (plants) and these have circular DNA and they also get replicated (according to their own mechanism).

Prokaryotic cells don't contain a nucleus. They do not contain DNA in the cytoplasm and thus the DNA replication will take place here.

I really hope this helps!

Bearing fruit benefits plants because
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

There are many benefits of bearing fruits. Please read the explanation section.

Explanation:

A fruit is the part of flowering plants. Fruit contains the seeds of the plant. These seeds help the plants to reproduce its next generation. Some fruits are fleshy like berries; some are hard like nuts. The fruit helps to protect the seeds.

Along with this, the fruit helps the seeds to be spread out. Many fruits are attractive because of their color and aroma. They attract small animals like birds, squirrels. They eat those fruits. After eating, the animals move from one place to another. With them, the seeds move too.  When those animals poop, the seeds are coming out with their poop. Then the seed can grow at that place.

Explain how the use of a chemical designed to kill grasshoppers could reduce the population of peregrine falcons.
Butoxors [25]
Peregrine falcons have a wide diet, including many types of smaller birds. These birds eat bugs like grasshoppers. So, if the grasshopper population decreases, then the birds who are a food source to peregrine falcons will also have a lower population. This means that there is a lesser amount of food for the peregrine falcons to eat, so their population will decrease as well. 

Good luck with your problems!
