What are the 6 kind of data used to classify an organism?
The 6 kind of data used to classify an organism are: taxonomy, taxonomist, and biochemical, and chromosal information, physical and structural information. All of these are classified as living things.
Is Down syndrome chromosomal or genetic?
It's a chromosal disorder. Caused by the presence of an extra 21st chromosome?Called trisomy 21. A zygote is only meant to have 2 pairs of chromosome 21 (one from mum one from dad) but if cell division is faulty, then the chromsomes may not segregate properly when gametes are being formed. The chances of having a down's child dramatically increases as the parents become older as this cell division tend to not be so exact as when younger.
What characteristics do scientist use to classify organisms into domains and kingdoms?
When deciphering an unknown species and classifying organisms taxonomist use biochemichal, chromosal information, and physical and structural information. Today taxonomist study chromosome structure, blood protein, and the way organism develop before they are born because physical apperance is not always a good way to classify an organism.
What happens if a person have more or less chromosomes?
Having additional or missing chromosomes can have a variety of effects, ranging from mild to fatal. For example, females missing an X chromosome (they would normal have two) suffer from a condition known as Turner syndrome, which can cause problems like stunted growth and infertility. An example of a condition involving an additional chromosome is Trisomy 21, more commonly known as Down syndrome. In this instance, the individual has an extra 21st chromosome--they should have two, but instead have three. This tends to lead to growth defects and mental retardation. More severe chromosome abnormalities can be fatal--some will result in miscarriage during fetal development.
