What else can I help you with?
Are all mutations bad.?
No not all mutations are bad there are good mutations and bad mutations
Steps in meiosis that increase variability?
crossing over of chromosomes, indepependent segregation of chromosomes and mutations
Can somatic mutations occur in sex chromosomes?
Yes, somatic mutations can occur in sex chromosomes. These mutations can affect the genes located on the X or Y chromosome, leading to genetic changes in somatic cells, which are not passed on to offspring. Somatic mutations on sex chromosomes can impact an individual's health and development.
What does insertion and inversion mutation have in common?
They are both mutations of chromosomes
What are the types of chromosomes mutations?
Duplication, translocation, inversion, deletion.
Somatic mutations occur in sex chromosomes and can be inherited?
true
What Is a dominant disorder?
dominant disorder is caused by mutations in genes on the x chromosomes.
What are the three ways chromosomes can cause mutations?
point mutation, insertion and deletion
What causes a baby to come out deformed?
Mutations in their chromosomal DNA. Each parent gives chromosomes to the baby, and when they meet sometimes there are doubles of chromosomes, missing chromosomes, or mutated chromosomes which cause abnormalities in the DNA and overall the child.
What is a karyotype and what type of mutation does it show?
A karyotype is a picture of the chromosomes in a cell. For example, a human cell has 46 chromosomes. In the karyotype, 23 pairs of chromosomes will be shown (23 x 2 = 46). A karyotype can show different types of mutations, depending on which chromosome it affects. For example, Down Syndrome is a trisomy in chromosome 21, so there will be THREE instead of two chromosome 21s. You can research more mutations shown by chromosomes in a karyotype.
What chromosome is the gene of bipolar on?
bipolar susceptibility can be linked to small mutations in chromosomes 4,13,15,18, and 22.
Describe four types of mutations resulting from the breakage of chromosomes?
Deletion, duplication, inversion, translocation.
