There are several genetic disorders that occur in many organisms where the chromosomes do not separate properly in meiosis which causes the gametes to have an abnormal number of chromosomes (refer to the diagram below). which of the following is the stage where this would occur?

Mike was adopted, and his biological family history is unknown. although he is healthy, he would like some understanding of his genetic makeup, including potential health risks and genes that he could pass on to his children. mike has heard about commercial laboratories that can compare segments of your dna to those of people with common hereditary diseases in order to give you some idea of how susceptible you are to the diseases. the results of these types of tests are highly inconclusive. if mike's dna showed that he shares similarities in a segment of dna with people who have a given disease, his chances of developing that disease or passing it on to his children may be slightly elevated, but they are not 100 percent. these tests can cost more than $2,500 and are not covered by many insurance companies. do you think that mike should undergo the genetic tests? explain your answer. what are the potential pros and cons of having such tests done? describe how the availability of these genetic tests might affect the frequency of genetic diseases in individuals and populations.

Which of the following is true of microbes? a. ninety-nine percent of all microbes are pathogenic.b. gene expression in bacteria is very similar to gene expression in humans, which facilitates the use of bacteria in recombinant biotechnology and gene therapy.c. all bacterial enzymes are harmful to humans and the environment.d. microbes create pollutants and toxins that harm the environment.
