What are examples of diseases caused by chromosomal mutation?
Down's Syndrome Kleinfelter's Syndrome
What can down syndrome be caused by?
Down's Syndrome is caused mainly by a mutation in the gene. It is a genetic disorder, which means it was passed on from parents to offspring.
How do you spell downsindrowm?
The phrase is spelled Down Syndrome. Down Syndrome is a disorder caused by a mutation of the chromosomes.
Is down syndrome cause by translocation?
It can be.
Is down syndrome and pku caused by chromosomal abnormalities?
Down syndrome is caused by an additional chromosome while PKU is due to a mutation or defect in a gene.
Is down's syndrome inherited?
Most cases of down syndrome are not inherited. Translocation Down syndrome can be inherited.
What is translocation downs syndrone?
Translocation Down syndrome is a genetic condition caused by the presence of an extra chromosome 21 due to a rearrangement of genetic material between chromosomes. Unlike the more common forms of Down syndrome, which result from an extra full chromosome 21, translocation Down syndrome occurs when a portion of chromosome 21 becomes attached to another chromosome. This can happen during the formation of reproductive cells or in early fetal development. Individuals with translocation Down syndrome typically exhibit the same physical and cognitive characteristics associated with Down syndrome.
Is down syndrome a frame shift mutation?
yes, down syndrome is caused by non disjunction, an error in the process of cell division
Is down's syndrome caused by a gene or chromosomal mutation?
Neither. It is an extra #21 chromosome.
Which process could result in the type of cell mutation that causes Down syndrome?
Down's syndrome is caused by trisomy of the 21st chromosome. This is mostly caused when the chromosome pair fails to separate properly (nondisjunction).
Is Down syndrome sex linked recessive?
Down syndrome is caused by a third copy on chromosome 21 and is present at conception or shortly after. It is mostly a random (and relatively common) occurrence, unless it is of the translocation type which is rare and genetic.
Is Down Syndrome the same as Marfan Syndrome?
No. Down is caused by an extra chromosome while Marfan is due to a mutation in one or more genes.
