The gene for nose shape is found on the X chromosome. Round nose is dominant to pointed nose. Human individuals with XXY (an additional X chromosome) are designated male. Individuals with XO (only one X chromosome) are designated female. Identify the possible nondisjunction events (rare mistakes during meiosis) that could explain the phenotype of the offspring. An XY parent with a round nose and a XX parent with a round nose have an offspring with Klinefelter Syndrome (genotype XXY) with a pointed nose.

Explanation:

in this case female parent XX is hetrozygous for round nose. when a cross between round nose father XY and hetrozygous round nose mother takes place and suddenly a chromosomal nondisjuction occurs, the chromosomes carrying genes for pointed tip nose come togather in a gamete and a gamete (egg) with XX chromosomes is appeared having 24 chromosomes instead of 23. when this gamete fertilizes with a sperm having normal 23 chromosomes and only carry Y chromosomes, a pointed nose klienfelter syndrome case will appear.

identify the dna change shown in the diagram and explain how that change can result in the increased genetic diversity often seen among siblings.

hey there!

so, when you eat, your teeth chew and grind food into smaller pieces. this is mechanical digestion. then reactions aided by digestive enzymes break down large food molecules into smaller molecules. this is chemical digestion. the two processes change the food into simpler substances that can be used by the body for raw materials and energy.

hope this
