first it becomes two chromatids, then during prophase, chromosomes condense from long strands into rod like structures. During METAPHASE paired chromatids align at the cell's equation. Then during ANAPHASE the paired chromatids separate and move to the opposite side of the cell. During TELOPHASE a nuclear membrane forms around each set of chromosomes, and the chromosomes decondense.

Only in Meiosis which happens in the gonades, in Mitosis the chromosomes do not change, this happens every where else in the body.

During part 2c of meiosis, two cells form, each with half the number of chromosomes. Each chromosome has two chromatids.

Change in chromosome number in mitosis and meiosis?

Meiosis results in a change in chromosome number indicated by division of cells into two identical cells. This is a process that is used for purposes of reproduction.


Does. The chromosome number change in meiosis?

No it doesnt change. The chromosomes will stay at the same number unless there is a mutation through the process of meiosis.


What mutation cause changes in the number of chromosome?

Aneuploidy mutation causes a change in the number of chromosomes. Aneuploidy occurs during cell division when the chromosomes do not separate properly resulting in a change in the number of chromosomes.

yes


Is hemophilia visble in karyotype?

No. The X chromosome with the mutation will look no different than any other X chromosome. In order to see the mutation you would have to actually examine the base pairs and sequences. A single reversal, translation, deletion, or mutation of any kind within the specific segment of code can result in hemophilia. This will not result in an overall change in appearance of the chromosome.


What is any permanent change in a gene or a chromosome change?

4 chromosome mutations?

They include: trans-location, deletion, duplication and inversion. A chromosome mutation is an unpredictable change that occurs in a chromosome.


What chromosomes can be affected by changes in chromosome numbers?

Any chromosome can be affected by aneuploidy. However, generally, the larger the chromosome, the larger the likelihood that the change in chromosome number will be fatal.
