Are klinefelter syndrome and Turner syndrome results of nondisjunction of autosomes?
No, Klinefelter syndrome and Turner syndrome are the result of nondisjunction of sex chromosomes. Klinefelter syndrome is caused by an extra X chromosome (XXY), while Turner syndrome is due to a missing X chromosome (XO).
What chromosome is affected in Turner Syndrome?
The chromosomes which are affected in Turner's Syndrome is the sex chromosomes. A normal female individual has 2 X sex chromosomes. In Turner's Syndrome, a woman only has one X chromosome and is missing the other. Thus, a woman with Turner's Syndrome has the sex chromosomes X0.
Is Turner Syndrome sex linked?
No, Tourette's syndrome is not sex-linked. It can be passed on from anyone, and anyone can receive the disease.
What chromosomal abnormality causes Turner syndrome?
If one of sex chromosomes is missing. Normal-XX Turner- XO
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 causes disorders sush as klinefelter syndrome and turner syndrome?
non disjunction of sex chromosomes
An individual with Turner syndrome appears male and has 1 Barr body?
A person with Turner syndrome typically has female characteristics, but may have some physical features mirroring male traits, such as a broad chest or a low hairline. The presence of one Barr body in their cells is normal, as individuals with Turner syndrome have a single X chromosome.
Can nondisjunction affect autosomes and sex chromosomes?
Yes, Non-disjunction occurs when sex chromosomes fail to separate. This occurrence leads to variable numbers of chromosomes and the manifestation of developmental diseases such as Down syndrome, Turner syndrome, etc.
What are the similarities and differences between Down syndrome and Turner syndrome?
Down syndrome is caused by an extra or part of an extra 21st chromosome while Turner syndrome is caused by an absence in one or part of the sex(X) chromosome.Down syndrome can occur in both male and femalewhile Turner syndrome only occurs in female.People with Down syndrome tend to have a lower than average cognitive ability.Both Down syndrome and Turner syndrome are at higher risk for having medical conditions such as heart problems.
Which type of mutation can lead to the loss of gene chromosome?
The term is monosomy, in which one chromosome of a pair is missing. Turner's Syndrome is an example of monosomy, in which there is only one sex chromosome, which is the X chromosome. Humans with Turner's Syndrome are female, but sterile. The genotype of the sex chromosomes in Turner's Syndrome is XO, in which O represents a missing chromosome.
Is Turner's autosomal or sex-linked?
Turner syndrome is a condition that affects females and is caused by a missing or incomplete X chromosome. It is considered an autosomal condition because it is located on one of the non-sex chromosomes, specifically the X chromosome.
When someone has the turner syndrome what went wrong with the chromosomes?
When they were born one of the sex chromosomes was missing. Or broken.
