What is the 17Th human chromosome?
The 17th human chromosome is known as chromosome 17. It is one of the 23 pairs of chromosomes in humans and contains around 1,200 genes. Chromosome 17 is associated with various genetic disorders and traits, including Smith-Magenis syndrome and hereditary breast and ovarian cancer.
What broken part of a chromosome becomes attached to a nonhomologous chromosome with no molecular loss?
A broken part of a chromosome that becomes attached to a nonhomologous chromosome without molecular loss is known as a translocation. This can lead to genetic disorders if the translocated segment disrupts the function of important genes located on the chromosome.
Which human chromosome carries the gene for the enzyme telomerase?
Chromosome 5.The gene is known as TERT (or, in humans, hTERT) and is the most distal gene on the short arm of chromosome 5 (5p). Its location is 5p15.33. For more detail, see the link below.
In als what chromosome is affected?
In ALS, also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, the chromosome primarily affected is chromosome 9. A gene called C9orf72 located on this chromosome is linked to a significant percentage of familial ALS cases. Other genetic mutations on different chromosomes can also contribute to ALS development.
Why is x chromosome called x?
An X chromosome is known as an X chromosome based on its shape, which resembles an X. The Y chromosome resembles a Y.
What chromosome is muscular dystrophy found on?
The gene is on the short (p) arm of the X chromosome. The gene is known as the dystrophin gene, or simply DMD. It is the longest gene known in the human genome, and codes for the protein dystrophin. According to Aminoff, 2005; the point mutation causing Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy is exhibited on the Xp21 gene, belonging to the above stated chromosome.
Where is most of the body water located in the human body?
Most of the body water in the human body is located within the cells, known as intracellular fluid.
What is partial tandem duplication?
The extra chromosome segment may be located immediately after the normal segment in precisely the same orientation forms the tandemWhen the gene sequence in the extra segment of a tandem in the reverse order i.e, inverted , it is known asreverse tandem duplicationIn some cases, the extra segment may be located in the same chromosome but away from the normal segment - termed as displaced duplicationThe additional chromosome segment is located in a non-homologous chromosome is translocation duplication.
Mapping all the genes on the human chromosome is called what?
This is the Human Genome Project. It was started in 1990 with the main goal being to determine the sequence of the base pairs which make up DNA, and to identify and map the thousands of genes of the human genome. It was completed in 2003. About 8% of the total genome remains unsequenced, because they did not study the entire DNA found in human cells.
Where is Mammary located in the body?
The mammary glands are located on a human female's chest. They are more commonly known as breasts
Where does the chromosome of galactosemia is located on?
Some scientists say: -The insulin dependent DDM1, Diabtese mellitus is on chromosome 6 -Type 1 Diabetes was found on chromosome 1q42, and possibly 11 -Type 2 Diabetes on Chromosomes 12 and/or 20
What is another name for the entire chromosome map of an organism?
The other name for the entire chromosome map of an organism is known as The Human Genome Project. It was very brave and important step for human beings to have a complete gene map. It took little while for genome to complete but it has proved to be useful in different situations of the nucleotide sequence studies
