Answer:

d. Monosomy X is the only viable monosomy known to occur in humans.

Explanation:

Human have 22 pair of homologous chromosomoses and an extra pair of sex chromosomes. While in males  the sex  chromosomes  are X and  Y , females have two chromosomes X . Anyway, in normal conditions the total number of chromosomomes that humans have in their cells is 46 (23 pair of chromosomes).  

Aneuploidy is a biological condition where an individual have an abnormal number of chromosomes in their cells.  In humans for examples, this would be a human having more or less than 46 chromosomes.

The Turner syndrome also called  monosomy X is an aneuploidy  where  one of the X chromosomes is missing in a female.  Although under constant supervision, people with Turner syndrome have viable healthy lives. However this is the only monosomy that occur in humans that is compatible with life.

Compare a bacterial cell and a human body cell. Include in your response
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

Differences: Size

Similarities:  Organelles

Explanation:

The most important difference is size. The volume of a typical human cell is 4,000 times more than the volume of a typical bacterial cell. Today's bacterial cells are direct descendants of the prokaryotic cells found in rocks that were formed one billion years after Earth.

Organelles are the biggest difference between bacteria and cells that make up the human body. An organelle is a tiny cellular structure that performs specific functions within a cell. Organelles are embedded within the cytoplasm of eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. In the more complex eukaryotic cells, organelles are often enclosed by their own membrane

1. A mutation is capable of reducing the amount of chlorophyll in the leaf. Would this also reduce the rate of photosynthesis?
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

No.This is because the amount of the chlorophyll; ls not a limiting factor of photosynthesis.

Explanation:

Generally the three factors are regarded as the limiting factors of photosynthesis.These are the CO2 concentration,light intensity,and temperature.Fluctuations in the availability of these factors affects the rate of photosynthesis.

When the rate of a chemical reaction depends on  a lot of reactions for its progress.The rate of this reaction is determined or  limited by the slowest in the reactions. This series of reactions govern this chemical reactions are the limiting factors. The one that is slowing down the rate of the reaction is said to limit it.

in the case of photosynthesis,  a decrease in the amount of CO2,but no change in the amount of other factors would affect the rate of photosynthesis. This is applicable to other factors fluctuation too ,which limits  the rate of photosynthesis

Goshia [24]

Answer:

A. the two genes on chromosome 1 are more than 50 mu apart.

Explanation:

Two or more genes present on the same chromosomes are the linked genes. Linked genes do not assort independently and do not exhibit crossing over. Therefore, the linkage of genes results in deviations from Mendel's law of independent assortment. However, if the linked genes are present far from each other on the same chromosome, they may exhibit crossing over.

The greater the distance between the linked genes, the higher are the chances of crossing over. Crossing over of linked genes would result in some of the progeny to have the new gene combinations as it occurs during an independent assortment of two genes. Therefore, Mendel observed an independent assortment of two genes present together on chromosome 1 since they were present far apart from each other (more than 50 mu apart).
