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.

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

a. surrounds individual muscles.

Explanation:

Individual muscle fibers have layers of connective tissue surrounding them. Epimysium, perimysium, and endomysium are the three layers of connective tissue that extend from the fascia and protect the muscle fibers. Epimysium is the outer most layer of connective tissue of individual muscle fiber. It encircles the entire muscle. Epimysium consists of dense irregular connective tissue. It serves to separate the muscle fibers from the other types of tissues present in the area to facilitate their independent movement.
