Answer:

Genes coding for proteins involved in chiasma formation.

Explanation:

Chiasma is the connecting link between two non sister chromatids from homologous chromosomes. At chiasma chromosomal crossover takes place in which the genetic material is exchanged between the chromatids. During meiosis aneuploidy occurs if chiasma is absent or impaired due to a mutation in genes encoding for proteins involved in chiasma formation.

Aneuploidy is characterised by presence of abnormal number of chromosomes in cells. They can be 45 or 47 in number apart from the usual 46. Due to impaired chiasma, chromosome pair fails to separate and is passed on to the egg or sperm as it is hence there is one gamete with an extra chromosome and one gamete with a less chromosome. Aneuploidy can result in many genetic disorders like three copies of chromosome 21 can result in Down syndrome.

What does free floating DNA mean ?
ivann1987 [24]

Cells with cell chemicals and genetic material having no defined organelles and are all enclosed within a cell wall are called prokaryotes. Organisms in this group are small in size and are mainly bacteria. Ribosomes in these small cells are also small and ‘free floating’.  DNA in prokaryotic cells is in the form of a circular strand and not as a chromosome.

Have an awesome day! :)

Is human development best characterized as a slow, gradual process, or is it best viewed as one of more abrupt change?
ankoles [38]

Answer:

Heyya!

Human development is a slow and gradual process. There seems to be slow and gradual change that becomes abrupt change. The mind has many connections and works according to past habits. A person who seeks to improve themselves will gradually change specific areas within their life. After a while there is a cascade effect that causes linked areas to be altered. Skills and methods that required practice and habit forming transition to being a natural part of life.  When the personality suddenly changes, I use the term evolution. Whenever one occurs, the person will probably see their past self as problematic.
