Answer:

Aneuploidy is caused by nondisjunction

Explanation:

Aneuploidy is caused by nondisjunction, which occurs when pairs of homologous chromosomes or sister chromatids fail to separate during meiosis. The loss of a single chromosome from a diploid genome is called monosomy (2n-1), while the gain of one chromosome is called trisomy (2n+1).

What kind of phytoplankton is noctiluca
lesantik [10]
Noctiluca scintillans, commonly known as the sea tinkle and also published as Noctiluca miliaris, is a free-living, nonparasitic, marine-dwelling species of dinoflagellate that exhibits bioluminescence when disturbed (popularly known as mareel). Its bioluminescence is produced throughout the cytoplasm of this single-celled protist, by a luciferin-luciferase reaction in thousands of spherically shaped organelles, called scintillons. Nonluminescent populations within the genus Noctiluca lack these scintillons.

Ann [662]

Answer:

The most appropriate answer would be D. The western skink population would be separated into two groups, and genetic diversity would decline in each group.

It can be explained with the help of a bottleneck effect due to which population size decreases suddenly due to events like a natural disaster, habitat destruction et cetera.

The construction of the multi-lane highway would have destroyed the natural habitat of western skinks and separate them into two populations.

The separation of a population along with the destruction of habitat would result in a severe decrease in the population size of western skinks.

Consequently, the genetic diversity would also decrease.
