The correct answer is c trachea
The pollen grain is actually the male gametophyte generation of seed plants. Inside the anther, pollen mother cells divide by meiosis to form pollen grains whose nuclei contain half the number of chromosomes characteristic of the parent plant.

<span>Cytokines are tiny protein hormones that normalize immune
responses and facilitate cell-to-cell communication. The disproportionately
high levels of cytokines released by T cells enter the bloodstream and increase
the number of symptoms, including fever, biliousness, vomiting, diarrhea, and
sometimes tremor. Superantigens which includes staphylococcal toxins that may
lead to food poisoning and toxic shock syndrome.</span>
Answer:
a) There are lots of genes on chromosome 1 could be affected, and the gametes could be imbalanced (missing segments of DNA or whole chromosomes)
b) Roughly 50%
c) No. I would advise that the couple undergo preimplantation genetic diagnosis, so that a zygote carrying the normal copy of chromosome 1 could be selected.
Explanation:
Chromosome 1 is one of the largest and most gene rich chromosomes. An inversion that covers 70% of its length would cover lots of genes.
While an inversion on its own would not seem problematic (as all the genes on the chromosome are still there), when it comes to meiosis, the sister chromatids would not be able to correctly align, and crossing over would further complicate this. It could also lead to unbalanced gametes missing entire parts of the chromosome. Therefore, there are likely numerous genes that will be affected and messed up by the inversion.
This could explain the high incidence of past still births, as if lots of genes are affected, and non-functional, the pregnancy would be rendered non-viable, or highly deleterious causing premature death.
b) There is a 50% chance of a child inheriting the defective copy of chromosome 1 (and 50% of a chance of them inheriting the normal chromosome 1. Therefore, there is likely a 50% chance that future offspring would be affected by defects
c) No. I would advise that the couple undergo preimplantation genetic diagnosis. In this, the couple undergoes in vitro fertilization (IVF). When embryos are produced through IVF, they can then be tested for the presence of the abnormal chromosome. Embryos will only be implanted into the mother if the normal chromosome 1 is present.
<span>Both isotonic and equilibrium share the same definition; they both carry the meaning “balance” or “equality” – but ultimately, they still have differences. An isotonic solution is a mixture of two or more substances; substances which carry the same salt concentration as the ones that surround the blood cells – while equilibrium is the state of the solution per say.</span>
