How many chomasomes does each humen cell have?
Cells have 42 chromosomes, reproductive cells have 21. An extra chromosome is usually the cause of genetic defects.
Is there any difference in number of chromosomes when 8 months child is compared with 18 years old persons?
Assuming the two are both normal, no. A difference in the number of chromosomes is generally associated with severe birth defects. Most such children will not even make it to birth alive. The most common chromosome anomaly in humans is Down Syndrome, which is comparatively mild in that it doesn't automatically result in the death of the fetus before or shortly after birth.(I'm assuming you mean "number of chromosomes per cell"; an 18 year old will have more chromosomes in total than an 8 month old simply by virtue of being larger and having more cells.)
What can karyotypes determine?
Determine whether the chromosomes of an adult have an abnormality that can be passed on to a child.Determine whether a chromosome defect is preventing a woman from becoming pregnant or causing miscarriages.Determine whether a chromosome defect is present in a fetus. Karyotyping also may be done to determine whether chromosomal problems may have caused a fetus to be stillborn.Determine the cause of a baby's birth defects or disability.Help determine the appropriate treatment for some types of cancer.Identify the sex of a person by determining the presence of the Y chromosome. This may be done when a newborn's sex is not clear.http://www.webmd.com/baby/karyotype-test
Why defects in crystals are called thermodynamic defects?
crystalline defets are present in a crystal due to the presence of impurities.
Are genetic defect associated with abnormalities of autosomes or of sex chromosomes?
Genetic defects can be associated with autosome and chromosome abnormalities.
Which is an example of a cogenital defect?
A congenital defect is any abnormality that is caused by defects or damage in a developing fetus. Congenital defects can be caused by a number of things: defects in the fetus's genetic code, abnormalities in the fetus's chromosomes, the environment in the uterus, infection, or many other things. Examples of congenital defects include Down syndrome, cystic fibrosis, club foot, and albinism (being an albino).
How are recreational drugs linked to birth defects?
Drugs such as LSD have been associated with arm and leg abnormalities and central nervous system problems in infants. Crack cocaine also has been associated with birth defects.it is hard to determine the effects of individual drugs.
What has the author Norman Waitzman written?

What is the treatment for birth defects?
Treatment depends on the type of birth defect and how serious it is.Some abnormalities can be corrected with surgery.Experimental procedures have been used successfully in correcting some defects.
What abnormalities or defects during development can lead to a lack of sexual concordance at?
The abnormalities during developtment can lead to a lack of sexual concordance at the penis for an XY chromosome and the vagina for and XX chromosome. Thus causing you to have terrible intercourse during the time of your defects which occurs around teenage years.
Why are karyotypes useful?
Karyotypes are chromosome maps evaluated for gross genetic defects such as extra or missing chromosomes or large translocations between chromosomes. Many of these gross genetic defects are non-viable, meaning the fetus will not survive to the point of birth, but a few can be viable (think trisomy 21 [Down's syndrome] and fragile X syndrome). With this information, parents can either prepare themselves mentally and emotionally for the potential life-long complications or can choose to terminate the pregnancy.
How does Patau Syndrome present?
The extra chromosome 13 causes numerous physical and mental abnormalities, especially heart defects.
