Title: question from the VCAA 2010 exam
Post by: splash.of.colour on October 29, 2012, 03:35:16 pm

hi guys,

im confused with Q10 multiple choice on the 2010 exam.
Why is it a trisomy when there is still only 14 chromsomes (7 pairs)? wouldnt there have to be an odd number?

i really have no idea how to get a picture of it on here but here the link for quick access! its on page 6
