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.

Look at the data related to honey bee population losses between 2006 and 2013 (Figure 1). Expand on the data. How would you revi
olga_2 [115]

In order to improve the graph and make it more detailed in order to get a better perception why the honey bee populations are decreasing, there's few things that can be added.

- Number of bee keepers over the period

The number of the honey bee colonies is directly connected as to how many bee keepers there are. If there's a trend of a decline in the bee keepers, than there will be a trend in the decline of the honey bees.

- Area of trees suitable for the honey bees

The trees are crucial for the honey bees to be able to produce honey, thus it is very important that they have a certain area of trees on which they can feed upon. If there's a decline in the number of trees for the bees, than the bees will be dying from starvation.

- Pollution

The honey bees are animals that are very sensitive to changes in the environment, especially when it comes to pollution. If the levels of pollution are increasing in areas where there's honey bees, it will certainly affect their numbers in a negative manner.
