Can triple x syndrome inherited?
No. Triple X occurs on the sex chromosomes.
Is the triple x syndrome only in feamales?
Yes. Normally females have 46 chromosomes.
How does triple x syndrome occur?
Triple X syndrome is a genetic disorder in which a girl has three X chromosomes instead of two. Triple X occurs once in every 1,000 female births. However, doctors believe many girls with Triple X go their lifetime undiagnosed. The major features of Triple X are learning, behavioral and emotional problems. Compared with other syndromes in which a person has inherited three chromosomes. Triple X is quite mild in nature.
How any chromosomes are in each human cell?
If you mean how many; there are 46, or 23 homologous pairs. There are 22 autosomal pairs and the sex chromosomes (X and X/Y). This can vary in some disorders, such as Down Syndrome, Turner Syndrome, Klinefelter's Syndrome, and Triple X Syndrome.
What would a female combination of sex chromosomes with two Barr bodies in her cells?
A female with two Barr bodies typically has a combination of sex chromosomes indicating a condition like Turner syndrome (45,X) or a variant involving additional X chromosomes, such as Triple X syndrome (47,XXX). The presence of two Barr bodies suggests that she has three X chromosomes, as each additional X chromosome beyond one contributes one Barr body. This genetic configuration can lead to various developmental and physical characteristics, but many individuals with Triple X syndrome may be asymptomatic or have mild features.
What is special about sex chromosomes?
Sex chromosomes can be either x or y: x+x=girl, x+y= boy. yyx and xxy occur sometimes but these children have developmental problems and are infertile. xxy is called Klinefelter's syndrome. Because there are some alleles attached to the x chromosome that cannot be paired with a y chromosome, there are some conditions that a male can get but are rare for a female. Colour blindness and haemophilia are conditions that are carried on the x chromosome, females have two x chromosomes so the condition does not manifest itself whereas males have one x chromosome so that chromosome can dominate.
Do any famous people have triple x syndrome?
Patricia Ann Jacobs(1934-)has Triple X Syndrome. She is the first lady diagnosed Triple X. She is studying genetics now.
What are two diseases linked to the X chromosome?
One disorder could be colorblindness. Colorblindness is most common in males because in order to have to disorder you must carry two mutated X chromosomes. Another recessive genetic disorder you can get is called Hemophilia. This is a disorder in which the genes for hemoglobin are not present and your body is not able to create blood clots and a simple scratch can be very serious.
Does Triple X syndrome occur because of nondisjunction?
Yes, Triple X syndrome can occur due to nondisjunction during meiosis, resulting in an individual having an extra X chromosome (47, XXX) instead of the typical two X chromosomes (46, XX). Nondisjunction can happen during either the mother's or father's gamete formation.
How do the karyotype of a person with triple x syndrome differ from a normal karyotype?
A person with Triple X syndrome (or Poly-X syndrome)is a woman; hence the fact that they have all "X" chromosomes, versus 1 "X" and 1 "Y" (XY), which would be a male. The difference is that during cell reproduction they manage to get an extra "X" chromosome, thus giving them 3 "X" chromosomes(XXX) in some, but not all, of their cells. A normal female karyotypewould only have 2 "X" chromosomes (XX).Usually, there are no visual symptoms and the disease cannot be recognized just by looking at the person. A woman with Triple X tends to be tall and thin. Most are not mentally retarted (though in rare cases, they can be), butmost usuallyhave reproductive and mentrual difficulties/problems.More info at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_X_syndromeHope this helps! ;)
Triple X syndrome occurs because of whAT?
Triple X syndrome, also known as trisomy X, occurs when a female has an extra copy of the X chromosome, resulting in a total of three X chromosomes instead of the typical two. This genetic anomaly happens randomly and does not usually cause severe symptoms, but some individuals may experience mild developmental and learning delays.
How do you prevent triple x syndrome?
abstinance
