Consider the example of the fusion of chromosome 21 and 14. By itself, this fusion does not cause any phenotypic differences in the carrier individuals. However, the children of carriers have a very high rate of down syndrome, as well as low fertility. Explain why this is? Be specific about what differences in chromosome number may occur in offspring, and how this occurs. Please answer asap and in short and content should not be palgarised please answer asap Consider the example of the fusion of chromosome 21 and 14.

Mitochondrial Mutations

A mitochondrion is a cellular organelle that serves as the site for cellular respiration and energy production (ATP or Adenosine Triphosphate). It is a double-membrane-bound organelle and is only present in eukaryotic cells.
