Yes, extra or missing chromosomes result in abnormal phenotypes. SomeÊcommon examples of this areÊDown's Syndrome and certain kinds of intersex.
The reproductive system of either parents is damaged, diseased (including genetic disease), or just "makes a mistake".
An error in cell division.
Karyotyping
The failure of replicated chromosomes to separate is called nondisjunction. This will cause extra or missing chromosomes in the daughter cells.
non-disjunction
-Extra, missing or damaged chromosomes could show the presence of genetic disorders.
A karyotype is the number and visual appearance of the chromosomes in the cell nuclei of an organism or species. A karyotype indicates gender, and whether there are any chromosomal abnormalities.
Mental Retardation.
Karyotyping
The causes of a hereditary disease is a missing chromosome, and extra chromosome. Like in Down Syndrome there is an extra chromosome 26.
Chromosomal disorders can be observed in a human karyotype. It can show whether there are extra chromosomes, or missing chromosomes, or malformed chromosomes, or whether chromosomes have extra pieces, or missing pieces.
The failure of replicated chromosomes to separate is called nondisjunction. This will cause extra or missing chromosomes in the daughter cells.
non-disjunction
Down Syndrome is caused by a triplication of the 21st chromosome.
1) down's syndrome2) turner syndrome3) jacob's syndrome
Mutations in their chromosomal DNA. Each parent gives chromosomes to the baby, and when they meet sometimes there are doubles of chromosomes, missing chromosomes, or mutated chromosomes which cause abnormalities in the DNA and overall the child.
It depends on which chromosomes were present as to what the abnormality would be, if any. If they were missing one or had one extra there would be developmental abnormalities.
If one of sex chromosomes is missing. Normal-XX Turner- XO
Turner syndrome is the result of one of the two X chromosomes being missing or damaged in some or all cells. These chromosomes are the sex chromosomes, which determine whether a person will be male or female. As people with Turners only have an X chromosome and no Y chromosome they are born female.
