What causes disorders such as Klinefelter's syndrome and Turner syndrome?
non disjunction of sex chromosomes
Why do people with Klinefelter's syndrome and Turner's syndrome still exist in the population despite their infertility?
Because they are random chromosomal disorders and not inherited.
Are klinefelter syndrome and Turner syndrome results of nondisjunction of autosomes?
No, they are nondisjunctions of the sex chromosomes (since in Turner syndrome you only have 1 sex chromosome and in Klinefelter syndrome you have 3).
What type of disorders are karyotyping used to diagnose?
Chromosomal disorders can be observed in a human karyotype. It can show whether there are extra chromosomes, or missing chromosomes, or malformed chromosomes, or whether chromosomes have extra pieces, or missing pieces.
What is the Effects of nondisjunction?
Non-disjunction can result in a number of different conditions, including Down Syndrome, Klinefelter Syndrome, Turner's Syndrome, Super Males, Triple X syndrome or Edward's Syndrome.
What causes disorders such as klinefelter syndrome and turner syndrome?
Klinefelter syndrome is a chromosomal condition that only affects males and is characterized by a male having an additional X chromosome (XXY) in cells. This chromosome abnormality occurs when there is an error in cell division, resulting in an extra copy of the X chromosome.
How any chromosomes are in each human cell?
If you mean how many; there are 46, or 23 homologous pairs. There are 22 autosomal pairs and the sex chromosomes (X and X/Y). This can vary in some disorders, such as Down Syndrome, Turner Syndrome, Klinefelter's Syndrome, and Triple X Syndrome.
What are some chromosomal disorders?
The most common type of chromosomal disorder is the Down syndrome caused by an added copy of chromosomes 21. More common chromosomal disorders are Klinefelter's syndrome and Turnerâ??s syndrome.
What is a genetic condition that can result when chromosomes don't separate correctly during meiosis?
Trisomy 21 (Down's syndrome), Turner's syndrome (XO), and Klinefelter's syndrome (XXY) are a few examples of genetic disorders that can result when chromosomes don't separate correctly during meiosis.
Can animals get klinefelters or turners syndrome as humans do?
Yes animals do sometimes have Turner's syndrome or Klinefelter's syndrome with similar characteristics as those observed in humans.
Which of the following are example(s) of trisomy---Turner Syndrome Down's Syndrome or Klinefelter's Syndrome?
Trisomy means having three copies of a chromosomes. Turner's syndrome is NOT an example of trisomy. Someone with Turner's syndrome has only one X chromosome. Down's syndrome IS an example of trisomy. Someone with Down's syndrome has 3 copies of chromosome 21. Klinefelter's syndrome is a tricky one. On one hand, it would be considered trisomy because they have 3 sex chromosomes. However, they are not all the SAME sex chromosomes. Someone with Klinefelter's has 2 X chromosomes and one Y chromosome.
What can cause abnormally low FSH levels?
Anorexia nervosa and disorders of the hypothalamus or pituitary gland can result in abnormally low FSH levels. Abnormal levels can also indicate: infertility hypopituitarism klinefelter syndrome (in men) turner syndrome ovarian failure
