This is because some of the trisomies (one extra chromosome, three instead of two) are fatal, births cannot survive.

Theoretically, trisomies can occur with any chromosome, but often result in miscarriage.

The types of autosomal trisomy that survive to birth in humans are:

Trisomy 8 or Warkany syndrome 2

Trisomy 9

Trisomy 13 or Patau syndrome

Trisomy 18 or Edwards syndrom

Trisomy 21 or Down syndrome.

  • To count or keep track of the birds of the air, point counts are a frequent field technique (birds).
  • The practice involves making observations over a predetermined, set amount of time and keeping track of the number of birds coming from a specific location.

If the environment outside a cell is hypertonic, how will the cell maintain homeostasis?
USPshnik [31]

Answer:  Water will move outside of the cell.

Homeostasis is the ability of the cell to maintain the state of balance despite of changing external environmental conditions. Osmotic pressure is the hydrostatic pressure of water across the cell membrane. Tonicity is the measurement of this pressure. If the concentration of solutes on both sides of the membrane is equal then water will not move across the membrane. Osmotic pressure maintains the homeostasis of the cell. In hypertonicity osmotic pressure of the solution outside the cell is higher than the inside the cell. The water inside the cell will exit the cells in order to equalize the osmotic pressure on both sides, causing the cells to shrink.
