What is the difference between crossover and mutation in genetic algorithm?
mutation means change in genetic structure..where as crossover means interchanging the genetic structure of two or more chromosomes..
When parts of chromosomes are broken off and lost during mitosis or meiosis the result is an?
when parts of chromosomes are broken off and lost during mitosis the results is a chromosomal mutation
Summarize how genetic disorder can result from mutation?
A genetic disorder can result from a mutation by changing a gene's instructions for making a protein. If there is a mutation in one of these genes, this can be passed on from parent to offspring.
What is Genetic order?
Monogenetic disorders are caused by a mutation in a single gene. The mutation may be present on one or both chromosomes (one chromosome inherited from each parent). Examples of monogenic disorders are: sickle cell disease, cystic fibrosis, polycystic kidney disease, and Tay-Sachs disease.
What increases genetic variations?
A large population increases genetics variation. Mutation will also increase genetics variation.
Can two people with dimples have a child with dimples?
There is a 50% chance of a child having dimples if one parent has them and a 75% chance if the two parents have them. A child can also have them as the result of a genetic mutation even if neither parent has dimples.
What Is the failure of a pair of a homologous chromosomes?
mutation
What do you call a change in a gene or chromosomes?
mutation
Why are male mutation rates higher than female?
This is because mutations occur in x chromosomes. The male, who has "xy" sex chromosomes, will have the mutation if it is present in the x chromosome. Females, there is a smaller chance because there are two "xx" chromosomes, which reduces the chance that the mutation will be present.
What mutation cause changes in the number of chromosome?
Aneuploidy mutation causes a change in the number of chromosomes. Aneuploidy occurs during cell division when the chromosomes do not separate properly resulting in a change in the number of chromosomes.
Trisomy-21 results from a mutation to the chromosomes in?
Gametes
What mutation involves two chromosomes?
Inversion and duplication!
Is cleft lip due to a lack if chromosomes or extra chromosomes?
No , it is caused by a single gene mutation .
What mutation causes either the inclusion of an extra chromosomes in offspring or the deletion of an entire chromosomes?
non-disjunction
How many chromosomes in an infant?
46 unless a mutation has occurred
Which types of mutation can add genes to a chromosomes?
insertion and deletion
What does insertion and inversion mutation have in common?
They are both mutations of chromosomes
