The chromosomal disorders are caused due to absence, excess or abnormal arrangement of one or more chromosomes. Failure of segregation of chromatids during cell division results in the gain or loss of chromosome(s), called aneuploidy.
Which of the following statements are correct with respect to the humans suffering from the disorder?
(A) One in every 800 live births shows this karyotype
(B) The affected individual has 45 chromosomes.
(C) Non-disjunction of chromosomes at the time of gamete formation causes this disorder.
(D) In this disorder, individual has 45 autosomes

- Microbes in human welfare Microbes are a very important component of life on earth. we use microbes and microbially derived products almost every day, like LAB to make curd, yeast to make bread, adding flavor and texture to cheese, producing antibiotics etc. The addition of LAB, improves the milk quality by increasing vit. B12. Cheese is one of the oldest food items in which microbes are used. For example, large holes in Swiss cheese are due to CO2 produced by the bacterium Propionibacterium sharmanii. The BOD test measures the rate of uptake of oxygen by microorganisms in a sample of water and thus, indirectly, BOD is a measure of the organic matter present in the water. The greater the BOD of waste water, the more is its polluting potential. In anaerobic sludge digesters, bacteria produce a mixture of gases like methane, hydrogen sulphide and carbon dioxide. These gases form biogas and can be used as a source of energy. Biofertilisers are organisms that enrich the nutrient quality of the soil. The main sources of biofertilisers are bacteria, fungi and cyanobacteria. You have studied about the nodules on the roots of leguminous plants formed by the symbiotic association of Rhizobium. These bacteria fix atmospheric nitrogen into organic forms, which is used by the plant as a nutrient. Other bacteria can fix atmospheric nitrogen while free-living in the soil (examples Azospirillum and Azotobacter).
Identify, the free living bacteria in soil, which can fix the atmospheric nitrogen.CUET 2025 Easy - Which of the following species has become extinct due to over exploitation by humans?CUET 2023 Easy
