<u>Answer:</u>

The correct answer option is C. A person with Down syndrome has three copies of chromosome 21 instead of two copies. An extra chromosome 21 was present in either the sperm or the egg cell.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Down Syndrome is the most genetic condition in the United States caused by the error in the cell division called 'disjunction'.

A normal person has two copies of chromosome 21 while a person with down syndrome has three copies of it in either the sperm or the egg which fails to separate.

Trisomy=3 chromosomes; 1 more than the required pair (2)

21=the type of chromosome

So, here we can eliminate A and B.

Now we have C and D.

I know that when sperm cell(s) simultaneously fertilize [an] egg, a class of identical twins will form. Therefore, we can eliminate D, leaving us with merely C. Henceforth, C is your final answer.

Organisms are well preserved in mud because mud has high water holding capacity. It retains water and does not allow oxygen flow which can destroy the remains of organisms. There are some microbes that preserved whose growth are enhanced in water related environment like mud.

But sand cannot retain or hold water. It drains it off and all oxygen bearing water to flow which enhance decay compared to mud. It can't preserve organisms because of the above reasons.
