<span>Trisomy is a condition in which a person's cells have three chromosomes in a single set. Normally, a person's chromosomes come in pairs and humans have 23 pairs of these chromosomes (46 in total).

When a person has a trisomy disorder, an additional chromosome is found in one of the pairs of chromosomes. When this happens the individual has a total of 47 chromosomes in his cells. Down syndrome, Edward syndrome, and Patau syndrome are the most common gene abnormalities caused by trisomy disorder.</span>

pentagon [3]

<span>The correct answer is "Sudden changes in the somatic cells of organisms play a key role in the process of adaptive evolution". Adaption in evolution is caused by sudden gene mutations that affect an organism's offspring and give it - potentially - a better chance of survival. For example, a giraffe who passed on a mutated gene for a slightly longer neck to its offspring gave its offspring a better chance of reaching untouched food, and thus a survival advantage.</span>
