Down syndrome is caused by trisomy 21, the presence of three copies of chromosome 21. The extra copy usually results from nondis

junction during meiosis.In some cases, however, the extra copy results from a translocation of most of chromosome 21 onto chromosome 14. A person who has had such a translocation in his or her gamete-producing cells is a carrier of familial Down syndrome. The carrier is normal because he or she still has two copies of all the essential genes on chromosome 21, despite the translocation. However, the same may not be true for the carrier’s offspring.

Answer: The carrier’s offspring would suffer Down syndrome due to the presence of XXY chromosome.

Explanation:

Down syndrome is a condition caused by a chromosomal excess e.g XXY instead of XX-chromosome found in normal females or XY-chromosomes found in normal males

Translocation is the transfer of a chromosomal segment to a new position, especially on a nonhomologous chromosome.

After translocation, the carrier is normal because he or she still has two copies of all the essential genes on chromosome 21. However, on production of sex gametes, the transferred segment follows Mendel law of segregation and makes it way as XXY to the newly formed zygote - putting the carrier offspring at risk of Down syndrome.

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

The most appropriate answer would be carbon dioxide and cellular respiration.

Yeast is a single-celled eukaryotic organism which is capable of doing anaerobic (fermentation) as well as aerobic respiration.

It uses cellular respiration (whether aerobic or anaerobic) for the production of energy, that is, adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

Cellular respiration refers to the set of chemical reactions which are involved in breaking down sugar or glucose to produce ATP. The carbon dioxide is produced as a byproduct.

Thus, yeast breakdown the sugar present in apple juice to produce ATP and carbon dioxide.

This carbon dioxide is released in the form of bubbles.

Why does DNA replication have such accuracy ?
USPshnik [31]
Because human DNA is so very long (with up to 80 million base pairs in a chromosome) it unzips at multiple places along its length so that the replication process is going on simultaneously and more accurately.
