Answer:

d. Monosomy X is the only viable monosomy known to occur in humans.

Explanation:

Human have 22 pair of homologous chromosomoses and an extra pair of sex chromosomes. While in males  the sex  chromosomes  are X and  Y , females have two chromosomes X . Anyway, in normal conditions the total number of chromosomomes that humans have in their cells is 46 (23 pair of chromosomes).  

Aneuploidy is a biological condition where an individual have an abnormal number of chromosomes in their cells.  In humans for examples, this would be a human having more or less than 46 chromosomes.

The Turner syndrome also called  monosomy X is an aneuploidy  where  one of the X chromosomes is missing in a female.  Although under constant supervision, people with Turner syndrome have viable healthy lives. However this is the only monosomy that occur in humans that is compatible with life.

vekshin1

Because neurones will not function properly neither will neuroreceptors if a person lacks neurotransmitters, these two parts (transmiters and receptors) all work together and depend on eachother.

Neurones are resposible for transmitting informations trought the body, and if neurotransmitters are no-existent, information may not be able to get to some body parts since neurotransmitters transmit the information.

Hope it helped,

Happy homework/ study/ exam!

what role will nature selection most likely have in the frequency of the alleles responsible for the presence of tissue pockets
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

Through natural selection, those organisms which have better adaptations to survive in an environment are able to live and pass on their alleles to their offsprings. Hence, any trait which is beneficial to an organism will be favoured by natural selection.

As tissue pockets is a trait which is required by the shrimps, hence with the passage of time shrimp population having tissue pockets will increase and will be favoured by nature.

A car accelerates from 4 meters/second to 16 meters/second in 4 seconds. The car's acceleration is
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

3 meter / second square.

Explanation:

The acceleration is defined as change in velocity over a period of time interval. Mathematically it can be written as,

acceleration = change in velocity / time

acceleration =  16- 4 (meters/second) / 4 seconds

acceleration = 12 meters/second / 4 seconds

acceleration =  3 meter / second square.

So the answer shows that the car accelerates 3 meter / second square.
