Down syndromeis caused by errors in what?
Downs syndrome is caused by a genetic mutation called trisomy. Trisomy is when an extra chromosome is present on one set of chromosomes, so instead of the 46 chromosomes of a normal human there are 47. Trisomy can often result in miscarriage as the body cannot cope well with extra chromosomes. Downs syndrome is when there is an extra chromosome 21. Other genetic defects which are caused by trisomy are Edwards syndrome and Patau syndrome.
Why are male mutation rates higher than female?
This is because mutations occur in x chromosomes. The male, who has "xy" sex chromosomes, will have the mutation if it is present in the x chromosome. Females, there is a smaller chance because there are two "xx" chromosomes, which reduces the chance that the mutation will be present.
How many chromosomes are present in a sperm cell before fertilization and in the zygote after fertilization?
There are 22 in each, along with an X sex chromosome for the female form and a Y sex chromosome for the male form.
When does the nucleus reappear?
False, No it is the only phase where it disappears. It directly says it comes back in telophase but may be present during all other phases EXEPT prophase.
What are the 3 phases of interphase?
The three stages are G1 phase - the cell is functionally normally and begins to grow in size. The nuclear envelope begins to break down. S (Synthesis) phase - the cells DNA replicates G2 phase - The mitotic spindle, made from cytokinetic fibres, begins to form. The cell ensures that the correct number of chromosomes and organelles are present. If so, Interphase ends and cell division continues.
How many chromotids are present in a chromosome at the beginning of mitosis?
2
In a human nucleus just before cell division how many chromatids are present?
Normally in a cell, there are 92 chromatids, 2 per chromosome. However, when the chromosomes have duplicated before mitosis, there are twice as many, or 184.
How many sister chromatids present during anaphase of mitosis?
A human body cell has 46 chromosomes. Before mitosis, the DNA/chromosomes replicate, resulting in 92 chromosomes which will be divided into two genetically identical daughter cells during mitosis.
If an organism has 16 chromosomes in each of its egg cells what is the diploid number?
EACH CHROMOSOME WILL PRODUCE ONE DUPLICATE CROMATID FOR ITSELF AND THE TWO CHROMATIDS WILL GET ATTACHED TO EACH OTHER THROUGH THE CENTROMERE.SO AFTER DUPLICATOIN 16 SISTER CHROMATIDS WILL BE PRESENT BUT TOTALLY(16 ORIGINAL CHROMATIDS + 16 DUPLICATED CHROMATIDS) 32 CHROMATIDS WILL BE PRESENT
What is only a single member of a pair of chromosomes present in a cell?
In a chromosome pair, a single chromosome is called a chromatid and the two chromotids in the pair are commonly called "sister chromatids."
What are the differences between chromatin and chromosomes?
Chromatin and chromosomes are basically the same thing. The difference is that chromatin is unfolded, uncondensed, extended DNA while chromosomes are condensed DNA. Chromosomes are condensed chromatin and chromatin is unfolded chromosomes. The only difference I know is that chromatin are present normally in a cell, while chromosomes are there only when the cell is about to divide. When the cell is about to divide, the chromatin threads get organised into chromosomes. Utilizing their histone proteins to accomplish this, DNA first condenses into 10 nm strands and then into 30 nm strands, ready for Condensation and then Cytokinesis.
What is difference between a chromosome and a chromatid?
Chromatin is DNA wrapped around a sequence of histone proteins (nucleosomes) to allow full strands of DNA to fit inside the nucleus. At the beginning of cell division the histone proteins condense and join together to form a chromatid, a copy package of DNA also known as a 30 nm fiber.Sometimes one chromatid is present in a chromosone however prior to cell division this copy of DNA is duplicated to create a chromosone with two chromatids.Hi,Basically, a chromosome is two chromatids joined together at the centromere, and the two chromatids on a chromosome are identical. Normally, the cell only needs one copy of each set of genetic material so chromatids are enough, but because the genetic information of the cell will be distributed to two daughter cells during mitosis/meiosis the chromatids must be doubled. This is achieved in the S-Phase of a cell cycle. With two copies of each allele, the genetic information will be evenly distributed and will be the same between the two sister cells.Hope this helps
In mitosis or meiosis do doubled chromosomes pair to form tetrads?
Tetrads form during meiosis. Tetrad refers to the four chromatids of homologous chromosomes.These are present during Prophase.
What prophase associated with nuclear energy?
This is nothing to do with nuclear energy: see WikipediaProphase is a stage of mitosis in which the chromatin condenses into a highly ordered structure called a chromosome (it is at this stage giemsa staining can be applied to elicit G-banding in chromosomes) in which the chromatin becomes visible. This process, called chromatin condensation, is mediated by the condensin complex. Since the genetic material has been duplicated in an earlier phase of the cell cycle, there are two identical copies of each chromosome in the cell. Identical chromosomes, called sister chromatids, are attached to each other at a DNA element present on every chromosome called the centromere.
When are nucleoli present?
Nucleoi are present in the interphase stage of mitosis
Are sister chromatids present in G1 phase of the cell cycle?
yes
What happens during step 4 of mitosis?
During step 4 of mitosis, known as anaphase, the sister chromatids separate and are pulled to opposite ends of the cell. This is facilitated by the spindle fibers contracting, causing the chromatids to move towards the centrosomes. Once the sister chromatids are fully separated, they are considered individual chromosomes.
