<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.

Using the allele symbols in the table, identify the genotype of a guinea pig that is recessive for hair length, heterozygous for
Bond [772]

Answer:

Hair length: hh

Hair color: Bb

Hair Texture: RR

Explanation:

In order for the recessive gene to show for hair length, two of the same alleles must be present, so, in this case, hh.

The question states "heterozygous for hair color." This tells you that the genotype will be Bb. Heterozygous means two of the different alleles. This is different from <em>homzygous.</em>

The question states "homzygous dominant for hair texture." This tells you that it will contain two of the same alleles. The question also tells you that it is homzygous <em>dominant</em>, which means there will be two of the same dominant alleles, so, RR.
