Predict phenotypes associated with nondisjunction of sex chromosomes.
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer: The new daughter cells will have an abnormal amount of genetic material. That is called aneuploidy and it is the presence of an abnormal number of chromosomes. Different clinical conditions are the result of this nondisjunction.

Explanation:

Normal cells are diploids, that means they have two copies of each gene, one of each chromosome. So normal cells have two homologous chromosomes, one from each parent.

During anaphase of cell division, each pair of chromosomes is separated  by the mitotic spindle. The separated chromosomes are then pulled by the spindle to opposite poles of the cell, and eventually will end up in the new daughter cells.

Nondisjunction is the failure of homologous chromosomes to separate properly during cell division, so it is the miss segregation of them. The new daughter cells will have an abnormal amount of genetic material. <u>Different clinical conditions are the result of this nondisjunction.</u>

Sex chromosomes participates in sex determination of an individual. Females have two X chromosomes (XX), while males have one X and one Y chromosome (XY) So nondisjunction of sex chromosomes could be:

  • XX: one cell with no chromosome and the other cell with two X chromosomes.
  • XY: one cell with no chromosomes and the other cell with XY chromosomes.

According to which gametes are fused during fertilization, different phenotypes can be given. For example, if a gamete with one chromosome fuses with another gamete with two chromosomes, the result will be an individual with three chromosomes (it could be XXY, or XXX) called trisomy.

Triple X syndrome is characterized by an extra X chromosome in females. Those affected are often taller than average, but most females have a normal sexual development. Klinefelter syndrome is known XXY individuals, and it causes infertility in males, breast growth, less body hair and weaker muscles.

And if a gamete with no chromosome fuses also with another gamete with no chromosome, the result is a nullisomy. But due to the lack of genetic material, the nullisomic gametes are rendered unviable for fertilization.

And if a gamete with no chromosome fuses with another gamete with one chromosome (normal) the result is a monosomy, the presence of only one chromosome from a pair. The result can be an individual who is X or Y. People with Turner syndrome have one X chromosome and it is the only monosomy that is seen in humans because other cases monosomy are lethal.

Any of those examples is called aneuploidy and it is the presence of an abnormal number of chromosomes.

How does the nurse apply the identity versus role confusion stage in the care delivery of an adolescent ? select all that apply?
Mrrafil [7]
Childbirth is scary enough for adult women, let alone an uneducated adolescent (depending on age). all women in labor need a coach, spouse or parent to comfort them through the delivery process to let the future mother know these stages are normal.

Leto [7]

Answer:

Diversity of the community = 2.097

Explanation:

Given:

Number of pitch pines = 134

Number of douglas firs = 24

Number of red pines = 53

Find:

Diversity of the community

Computation:

Simpson's diversity index = N(N-1)/Σn(n-1)

Particular              n n(n-1)

Pitch pine         134       17822

Douglas firs       24 552

Red pine            53  2756

Total       N=211 21130

So,

D= [211(211-1)] / 21130

D = 2.097

Diversity of the community = 2.097
