Biology
2 answers:
Blizzard [7]3 years ago

Answer:

The correct answer would be meiosis.

Nondisjunction refers to the failure of separation of one or more homologous chromosome pairs or that of sister chromatids during nuclear division.

It can occur in both meiosis as well as mitosis, however, meiosis (formation of gametes) is involved in inheritance, so, the correct answer would be meiosis.

During anaphase I, nondisjunction occurs when homologous chromosome pair(s) fails to separate. In anaphase II, it occurs due to the failure of separation of sister chromatids.  

It results in the formation of gametes with abnormal chromosome number.

The answer is the first one, meiosis. This nondisjunction could occur whether in meiosis I or meiosis II. For example, an autosomal nondisconjunction at meiosis I can determine if the baby will be born with down syndrome.

Which indicators are living and non-living?
bulgar [2K]
Living indicators are species that are sensitive to changes in the environment. For example air pollution can be monitored by looking at lichen, which are sensitive to sulphur dioxide in the air. The number of lichen at a particular location indicates how clear the air is. Similarly, mayfly larvae are good indicators for water pollution because they're sensitive to the concentration of dissolved oxygen in water.

Non-living indicators are things like satellites which can measure the temperature of the sea surface, weather stations that measure atmospheric temperature, rain gauges to measure rainfall, and dissolved oxygen meters to measure concentration of dissolved oxygen in water.
