A. dyspnea

B. Ataxia

C. cataplexy

D. narcolepsy

Our ANSWER IS D.

D. narcolepsy

Explanation:

It is a chronic sleep disorder which leads to excessive daylight drowsiness.

It may be due to a genetic factor and unusual signal being released in the brain as a result of absence of the brain chemical called hypocretin/orexin, which controls sleep. It is often seen as the effect of the immune system erroneously working against the production of hypocretin in thr brain.

It results in unexpected attacks of sleep, abrupt loss of muscle tone and hallucinations.

ale4655 [162]

Answer:

The nuclei of the skin cells produced by mitosis will have identical genetic material as that of the parent cell.

It is because mitosis is a type of cell division in which a parent cell divides into two daughter cells, each having equal and identical chromosomes as that of the parent cell.

In addition, events like crossing over do not take place due to which no genetic variation is developed in the daughter cells.

The process of mitosis is mainly involved in the repair and growth of the body.
