A cell has 38 chromosomes. After mitosis and cell division, one daughter cell has 39 chromosomes and the other has 37. What might have caused these abnormal chromosome numbers? What effects do you suppose this might have on cell function? Why?

Aneuploidy is the condition that occurs when daughter cells are formed with unequal or abnormal number of chromosomes after mitosis and cell division.

Explanation:

Aneuploidy occurs when homologous chromosomes fail to segregate or rearrange leading to chromosomal nondisjunction. This condition leads to genetic mutations, giving rise to abnormal number chromosomes in the daughter cells, where (2n+1) or (2n-1) haploid daughter cells are formed instead of 2n chromosomes.

Trisomy is the aneuploidic condition caused when there is a third chromosomal (2n+1) copy instead of two copies, which has occurred in the given case leading to formation of daughter cells with 39 chromosomes instead of 38.

Aneuploidy disrupts cell function and can lead to organ malformation as in Down's syndrome, cell multiplication leading to cancers, etc due to disturbance of protein homeostasis.

answer: 20 percent

the fish culture has become a developing commercial practice in developing countries which is already prominent in developed countries of the world. the major fish protein demand is being supplemented in developing countries is   fishing to meet the needs of the growing population. therefore, in some developing nations, the percentage of animal protein from fish in the diet can be as high as 20 percent.
