<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.

How do cells communicate in the body
Arada [10]
Cells communicate through their own language of chemical signals. Different compounds, such as hormones and neurotransmitters, act like words and phrases, telling a cell about the environment around it or communicating messages.

you are a biochemist working for a pharmaceutical company. you have been tasked with identifying a sample of nucleic acid. it is
Lorico [155]

The sample that is being discussed in the problem can be either DNA or RNA.

DNA and RNA are both very important molecules. Both of these hold immense value in biology since they store all the vital information required for living. The basic structures of the two are quite similar; the only difference is that DNA is double-stranded while RNA has a single strand.

DNA and RNA molecules both contain a five-carbon sugar (ribose), a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. Except for cytosine, guanine, and adenine, the fourth part is the phosphate group that exists in both. RNA has Uracil while DNA has Thymine.

Since it has not been mentioned here what the fourth part might be, the sample might be a DNA or an RNA molecule.

What is allele frequency?
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

The correct answer would be - D. the distribution of alleles in a population.

Explanation:

Allele frequency in population genetics is the term used to provide the amount of the different alleles in particular loci. In other words, it is the distribution of alleles in a population.

The term allele frequency refers to the fraction of the copies of the gene of the alleles in a known population. It can be calculated by the number of allele present of interest divided by total number of alleles in a population.
