<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.

Why is soil important?  Soil is our life support system. Soils provide anchorage for roots, hold water and nutrients. Soils are home to myriad micro-organisms that fix nitrogen and decompose organic matter, and armies of microscopic animals as well as earthworms and termites.

What is soil erosion?  Soil erosion is a naturally occurring process that affects all landforms. In agriculture, soil erosion refers to the wearing away of a field's topsoil by the natural physical forces of water (Figure 1) and wind (Figure 2) or through forces associated with farming activities such as tillage.

what human activities are responsible for soil erosion happening at advance rates?     Ploughing, unsuitable agricultural practices, combined with deforestation and overgrazing, are the main causes of human-induced soil erosion

What are some effects on soil loss?  The effects of soil erosion go beyond the loss of fertile land. It has led to increased pollution and sedimentation in streams and rivers, clogging these waterways and causing declines in fish and other species. And degraded lands are also often less able to hold onto water, which can worsen flooding.

What can be done to prevent soil erosion?   Maintaining a healthy, perennial plant cover.

Mulching.

Planting a cover crop – such as winter rye in vegetable gardens. ...

Placing crushed stone, wood chips, and other similar materials in heavily used areas where vegetation is hard to establish and maintain.

Explanation:  Hope this helps and have a great day
