Options
- A(A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)
- B(A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)
- C(A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(II), (D)-(I)
- D(A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(I)
Correct answer
B. (A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)
Step-by-step solution
Failure of cytokinesis after the telophase stage of cell division results in an increase in a whole set of chromosomes, a phenomenon known as polyploidy. Hence, (A) matches with (III). Failure of segregation of chromatids during the cell division cycle results in the gain or loss of a chromosome(s), which is called aneuploidy. Hence, (B) matches with (IV). Gain of an extra copy of chromosome 21 leads to Down's syndrome, which is a type of trisomy. Hence, (C) matches with (I). Loss of an X chromosome in human female
