In genetic diseases like Down syndrome, the cause is often due to the presence of an extra chromosome. Do you think this mutation would occur in meiosis or mitosis? Why?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

meiosis

Explanation:

Down syndrome is an abnormality that occurs on chromosomes 21, it occurs because chromosomes 21 cannot be separated in meiosis, the pair of chromosomes 21 do not separate and go together to one of the daughter cells. In this way, the oocyte or the resulting sperm will have 24 chromosomes instead of 23. When in conception that oocyte or sperm joins the germ cell of its partner that contributes the 23 chromosomes, the total sum of chromosomes that will have the first cell of the new conceived being will be 47.

Answer 2
Answer:

Answer:

The mutation observed in the down syndrome occurred as a result of a abnormal and non disjuncted meiosis.

Explanation:

Howbeit, mutation can be described as any heritable change of the base-pair sequence of genetic material.

Down syndrome also described as trisomy 21 is a medical condition caused by a chromosomal excess, whereby the patients bear a certain resemblance to the Mongoloid race, such as a small head and tilted eyelids, and typically have a delay in cognitive ability and physical growth.

Meiosis is one that describes the cell division process of a diploid cell into four haploid cells, which develop to produce gametes.

The chromosomal mutation of nondisjunction in down syndrome describes how a pair of chromosomes is not fully separated during meiosis, resulting in the gamete having an extra chromosame (or none at all).

Which hypothesis regarding the evolution of hominin bipedalism suggests that this energy-efficient trait arose so that hominins could search for food that was dispersed after climatic changes at the end of the Miocene?

Answers

Answer:

Patchy forest.

Explanation:

The patchy forest hypothesis is the second hypothesis that helps to explain the origin of the hominids. The hypothesis was developed by  Peter Rodman and Henry McHenry.

This hypothesis suggest that the evolution of bipedalism is energy efficient in the environment that contain few tress. The patchy forest result in the dispersion of the forest and this might result in the energy efficiency of bipedalism by walking upright and collect their food with hands.

Thus, the correct answer is patchy forest.

Explanation:

At temperature below zero degree Celsius, water exists as a solid but as it absorbs temperature from Its surroundings, it undergoes melting and turns into liquid water. More application of heat makes it boil leading to the evaporation and vapourisation of water molecules( note: evaporation occurs at all temperature).
