I'm pretty sure that the answer is an INVERSION
Inversion occurs when a fragment of a chromosome is reversed
A chromosome inversion is a type of structural change in a chromosome where a segment of DNA is reversed in orientation. This can lead to disruptions in gene expression and potential issues during cell division. Inversions can be balanced or unbalanced, depending on whether there is a loss or gain of genetic material.
This process is called an inversion mutation. It involves a fragment of a chromosome breaking off, flipping, and rejoining at the same location but in the reverse orientation. Inversions can have different effects on gene expression and can sometimes lead to genetic disorders.
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.
The fragment of the DNA that is the longest is the one that is the slowest to get to the bottom of the gel in the body. This is because longer DNA are simply the largest base pairs that are digested in the restriction enzymes which make them slower then the shorter ones.
translocation i'm doing the same worksheet for my finals study guide, and in my book it discussed this.
Deletion: Part of a chromosome is missing. Duplication: A segment of a chromosome is copied multiple times. Inversion: A segment of a chromosome is reversed in orientation. Translocation: Part of a chromosome breaks off and attaches to another chromosome.
It is called a fragment, I am not sure though, that's what my teacher told me.
Inversions occur when segments of chromosome become reversed. Cells are known to eliminate three types of damage to their DNA by chemically reversing it.
A 12-sided flat-shaped fragment is a dodecagon.
Deletion: a segment of the chromosome is lost during breakage. Duplication: a segment of the chromosome is copied and inserted back into the chromosome following breakage. Inversion: a segment of the chromosome is reversed and re-inserted following breakage. Translocation: a segment of the chromosome breaks off and joins a different chromosome.
The condition in which a diploid cell is missing a chromosome or has an extra chromosome is called aneuploidy.
