What kind of information in shown on chromosome maps?
Chromosome map tells us about the deletion or insertion or a part of chromosome that is missed which may be a cause to any disorder.
What is Inherited on a sex chromosome that can cause human genetic disorder such as color blindness and hemphilia?
Sex linked Gene
Is angelman recessive or dominat?
There are several causes of Anglemann syndrome. None of them are inherited as a dominant recessive or co-dominant characteristics. The most common cause (68% of cases) is a deletion of the q12 region of the maternally derived chromosome 15.
What is the significance of sex linked genes?
The sex linked genes cause genetic disorders on the basis of gender. For example color blindness is human is located on the X chromosome and is reflected in males more frequently.
What can too few of a type of chromosome cause?
Too few of a type of chromosome can cause genetic disorders or death. Turner Syndrome occurs when there is a missing X chromosome.

What causes blindness from eyes popping out?
ermmm... 'missing eyeballs' will be the cause of blindness
What is the cause of Cri Du Chat syndrome?
Cri du chat is caused during meiosis (the production of sex cells, such as the egg or sperm) when chromosome number 5 is not aligned correctly when separating and part of chromosome number 5 is chipped of, lost, and not repaired correctly or at all. then this cell merges with the other sex cell and a baby with cri du chat is formed
What are 4 types of chromosome structural changes?
The four types of alterations of chromosome structure are deletion, duplication, inversion, and reciprocal translocation. Deletion is the loss of one or more nucleotides from a gene by mutation; the loss of a fragment of a chromosome. Duplication is repition of a part of a chromosome resulting from fusion with a fragment froma homologous chromosome. Duplication can result from an error in meiosis or from mutagenesis. Inversion is a change in a chromosomeresulting from reattachment of a chromosome fragment to the original chromosome, but in a reverse direction. Mutagens and errors during mesosis can cause inversions. Translocation is the attachment of a chromosomal fragment to a nonhomologous chromosome.

What happens if asegment of DNA is deleted?
It would be as if a part of a chromosome were lost. This is called a deletion. It can cause a gene to be lost or not expressed. Several genetic disorders are caused by this process.

The first sign of Vitamin A deficiency is night blindness. Severe Vitamin A deficiency can cause Xerophthalmia (dry eye in which the eyes cannot produce tears) and complete blindness.
