Answer:

A XY or XY gamete fuses with a normal gamete (X or Y)

Explanation:

Meiotic nondisjunction is the phenomenon whereby chromosomes fail to separate during meiosis I or II. Meiotic nondisjunction leads to the formation of abnormal gametes I.e. gametes with additional or missing chromosomal piece.

The fusion of these abnormal gametes produced by nondisijuction with a normal gamete (X or Y chromosome). This leads to a condition called ANEUPLOIDY, which is a chromosomal disorder. In the case od Calix, XXY is an ANEUPLOIDY state that could have resulted because there was a fusion between a XX gamete and Y gamete or XY and X. The XY or XX gametes are produced as a result of nondisijuction.

Which is not something that occurs in translation? A codon and an anticodon pair. A peptide bond is created. A molecule of mRNA
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

A molecule of mRNA is formed.

Explanation:

Translation is the second process that occurs in gene expression. It is the process by which the information encoded in the mRNA transcript is used to synthesize a protein.

The mRNA nucleotide sequence is read in a group of three nucleotides called CODON. Each codon specifies an amino acid. Translation, which occurs in the ribosomes (cytoplasm), reads the codon with an anticodon using the complementary base pairing rule i.e. A-U, G-C. This means that a CODON-ANTICODON pairs.

The anticodon carries a corresponding amino acid to the polypeptide sequence. A peptide bond is formed when two amino acids joins together in a condensation reaction.

Note: A molecule of mRNA is formed during transcription

Answer:

The researchers add a compound to the cell growth medium that both binds and releases protons (H+) and also pass through lipid membranes. The effect that the added compound will have on the ATP production by the cells is that ATP synthase will stop.
