The gene for the most well known form of hemophilia is located on the X chromosome. It is not the result of too many or too few chromosomes. A male receives only one X chromosome while the receives two X chromosomes. These gene codes for factor VIII, one of the factors within the clotting cascade. If a female inherits the mutated gene, she has a second gene on the other X chromosome. However, she is capable of passing the gene for hemophilia onto her children. Males inherit one X chromosome and so have hemophilia.

Albinos have the same number of what as non-albinos?
Albinos have the same number of chromosomes as non-albinos. It is a genetically recessive trait or mutation, not the result of too many or too few chromosomes.
What does a nondisjunction involve?
A nondisjunction is a genetic error that occurs during cell division when chromosomes fail to separate properly. This can result in an abnormal number of chromosomes in the daughter cells, leading to genetic disorders such as Down syndrome.
How many chromosomes will thee be after fertilization?
well since I'm a major in biology and i have directed many things, i have found out that there will only be 21 after fertilization. See, chromosomes will start separating and a few will go to the fertilization process. that is how there is less than they usually have.
Could a human end up with special ability if they had more chromosomes than normal?
Contrary to comic book mythology, if you mess with the number of chromosomes, the result is either a nonviable zygote, severe genetic abnormalities, or later in life, cancer. Humans can survive with extra or missing sex chromosomes, but usually an odd number of autosomes results in spontaneous abortion of the embryo. In short, you will not be able to read minds with a few extra chromosomes.
Why is it important for egg cells to only have 18 chromosomes?
It is important for egg cells to have only 18 chromosomes because during fertilization, the egg cell will combine with a sperm cell, which also carries 18 chromosomes. This ensures that when the two cells fuse, the resulting embryo will have a total of 46 chromosomes, the normal number for a human.
Failuare of homologous chromosomes to separate properly during meiosis result in gametes with too many or too few chromosomes?
nondisjunction

How can nondisjuncton result in an individual having an extra chromosome what is this called?
Yes, nondisjunction results in a germinal cell (ovum or spermatozoa) with either too many or too few chromosomes. If one of these cells joins with another to form a zygote, there may be one or more too many or too few chromosomes in the cells.
What happens if an organism has too many or too few chromosomes?
Lethality.
What is it called when homologous chromosomes fail to separate properly causing to the gametes to have too many or too few chromosomes?
Complicated.
What does a nondisjunction involve?
A nondisjunction is a genetic error that occurs during cell division when chromosomes fail to separate properly. This can result in an abnormal number of chromosomes in the daughter cells, leading to genetic disorders such as Down 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.
Which is the most common sex linked genetic disorder?
Red-Green color blindness, or hemophilia.
What happens if a human has too many or too few chromosomes?
It depends on which chromosomes were present as to what the abnormality would be, if any. If they were missing one or had one extra there would be developmental abnormalities.
What is a genetic disorder caused by gene?
There are so many genetic disorder caused by sex linked to name few; Auto Immune disorder, Hemophilia, Night Blindness etc.

How is karyotype used by genetics?
a karyotype is a picture of all the chromosomes in a cell. These pictures are used to check for chromosomal abnormalities, such as too few or too much which can result in a genetic disability. Such as Down Syndrome.
