Why do relatively few fetuses with chromosomal trisomies survive to birth?

Biology

ki77a [65]3 years ago
5 0
A trisomy is a condition in which there is one more chromosome than normal, meaning that in humans there are three replicates of a particular chromosome, instead of the normal pair of two. In most of the times, trisomies lead to miscarriages. In rare cases, it can lead to live birth but it will be associated with shortened life expectancy and disabilities. In humans, autosomal chromosomes are essential to life and an abnormal increase of their number can be lethal. The fetus will not be able to develop properly and this will lead to a miscarriage.

How do the process of DNA replication and the laws of inheritance help cells and individuals pass on their
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer/Explanation:

DNA replication doubles each chromosome, meaning the cell can pass on DNA to daughter cells - the duplicated DNA is divided equally between the two new cells formed from the parent.

The laws of inheritance are:

1) The Law of Dominance: An organism with alternate forms of a gene, called alleles, will always display the form that is dominant, masking the recessive trait.

2) The Law of Segregation: In a diploid genome, like most eukaryotes, each trait is defined by a pair of genes (alleles). Each allele is randomly passed on to the gametes so that each gamete only contains one allele.   The offspring inherits one allele from each parent during the process of fertilization.

2) The Law of Independent Assortment: Genes for different traits are sorted independently from one another That is, the inheritance of one trait does not depend on the inheritance of another trait. so that the inheritance of one trait is not dependent on the inheritance of another.
