Answer:

There will be three spots that will light up.

Explanation:

There is a research paper published which demonstrated the trisomy of 21 chromosome. They found out that there are total three spots that light up in Trisomy 21 (down's syndrome's fetus). I have attached picture from research paper and provided the reference below.

Reference

(Davies, A. F., Barber, L., Murer-Orlando, M., Bobrow, M., & Adinolfi, M. (1994). FISH detection of trisomy 21 in interphase by the simultaneous use of two differentially labelled cosmid contigs. Journal of medical genetics, 31(9), 679-685)

What is the correct sentence?

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer: The correct sequence in the expression of a trait is gene > protein > trait (Option B).

Explanation:

During gene transcription, a linear fragment of DNA referred to as a 'gene' is used as template to synthesize a complementary messenger RNA (mRNA) sequence.

Subsequently, this mRNA is then used as template to create a protein by a process called translation.

Moreover, phenotypic traits can be defined as all observable characteristics that an organism has.

The phenotypic traits are largely determined by the expression of either enzymatic or structural proteins, which interact to shape the phenotype of an organism.

In conclusion, the correct sequence in the expression of a trait is gene > protein > trait (Option B).

Where in the leaf is responsible for most of the photosynthesis?

Fynjy0 [20]

Photosynthesis takes place inside plant cells in small things called chloroplasts. Chloroplasts (mostly found in the mesophyll layer) contain a green substance called chlorophyll. Below are the other parts of the cell that work with the chloroplast to make photosynthesis happen.
