Describe four types of mutations resulting from the breakage of chromosomes?
Deletion, duplication, inversion, translocation.
What is a karyotype and what type of mutation does it show?
A karyotype is a picture of the chromosomes in a cell. For example, a human cell has 46 chromosomes. In the karyotype, 23 pairs of chromosomes will be shown (23 x 2 = 46). A karyotype can show different types of mutations, depending on which chromosome it affects. For example, Down Syndrome is a trisomy in chromosome 21, so there will be THREE instead of two chromosome 21s. You can research more mutations shown by chromosomes in a karyotype.
Are chromosomes bad for mutations?
No. But they are necessary for mutations to arise. Likewise, they are also necessary in order for mutations not to arise.
What are the types of mutation?
There are a few mutations caused by entire chromosome changes. The times the number of chromosome can change can occur when the duplicated chromosomes pull apart and then produce a cell missing a chromosome or having an additional one. For example, XO or XXX or XXY. These are the sex chromosomes where XO means that either the second X is missing, or the Y is missing. Normal would be XX (female) or XY (male). These individuals are able to live with these added or deleted genes. All other missing or additional chromosomes are not compatible with life.
Name 2 major types of mutation?
i] spontaneous mutation ii] induced mutation iii] germinal mutation iv] somatic mutation v] chromosomal mutation vi] gene mutation are the some of the major types of mutation......
Steps in meiosis that increase variability?
crossing over of chromosomes, indepependent segregation of chromosomes and mutations
Can somatic mutations occur in sex chromosomes?
Yes, somatic mutations can occur in sex chromosomes. These mutations can affect the genes located on the X or Y chromosome, leading to genetic changes in somatic cells, which are not passed on to offspring. Somatic mutations on sex chromosomes can impact an individual's health and development.
What does insertion and inversion mutation have in common?
They are both mutations of chromosomes
Somatic mutations occur in sex chromosomes and can be inherited?
true
What two types of chromosomal mutations?
Two are insertion mutations and deletion mutations.
What are two types of Chromosomal mutations?
There are a few mutations caused by entire chromosome changes. The times the number of chromosome can change can occur when the duplicated chromosomes pull apart and then produce a cell missing a chromosome or having an additional one. For example, XO or XXX or XXY. These are the sex chromosomes where XO means that either the second X is missing, or the Y is missing. Normal would be XX (female) or XY (male). These individuals are able to live with these added or deleted genes. All other missing or additional chromosomes are not compatible with life.
What Is a dominant disorder?
dominant disorder is caused by mutations in genes on the x chromosomes.
