Explain how nondisjunction can lead to aneuploidies

Biology

Nondisjunction occurs when chromatids do not separate.

Aneuplodies have irregular numbers of chromosomes.

An aneuplody can occur as the result of a nondisjunciton.

In nondisjunction, if members of a pair of homologous chromosomes do not move apart during meiosis I or sister chromatids fail to separate during meiosis II, this means one gamete receives 2 of the same kind of chromosome and i<span>f either one of these abnormal gametes unites with a normal one at fertilization, the zygote will also have an abnormal number of particular chromosomes; which is known as an aneuploidy.</span>

2. Antigens can trigger an immune response. Explain if this is a specific or a nonspecific defense.
masya89 [10]

This is a specific response because in order to fight antigens, white blood cells, the most important cells of the immune system, must produce large, Y-shaped proteins known as antibodies to fight these invaders. This is a type of specific defense (as I have identified antibodies as specific defenses is the chart above).

How does temperature of water affect its ability to hold oxygen?
dalvyx [7]

Dissolved Oxygen and Water Temperature. The solubility of oxygen and other gases will decrease as temperature increases 9. This means that colder lakes and streams can hold more dissolved oxygen than warmer waters. If water is too warm, it will not hold enough oxygen for aquatic organisms to survive.

In some areas of Florida, manatees gather near spring waters during cold weather because the temperature of the springs is alway
Alexxx [7]
From the data, the manatee population obviously increased after the regulations went into affect  and the deaths due to watercraft reduced from 25 to 8 after the regulations were put into effect. The population increased by 165% from 1980=-2010 and the drop in deaths due to watercraft decreased by 
68%.So this is not a direct correlation but at least it shows that the watercraft deaths decreased significantly. Since the population increased at a greater rate then it may be that more females were spared so could mate and give birth to that many more manatees.
