Describe four types of mutation resulting from the breakage of chromosome?
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.
4 chromosome mutations?
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.
In humans the shorter of the sex chromosomes?
In humans, the Y chromosome is noticeably shorter than the X chromosome.
What is partial tandem duplication?
The extra chromosome segment may be located immediately after the normal segment in precisely the same orientation forms the tandemWhen the gene sequence in the extra segment of a tandem in the reverse order i.e, inverted , it is known asreverse tandem duplicationIn some cases, the extra segment may be located in the same chromosome but away from the normal segment - termed as displaced duplicationThe additional chromosome segment is located in a non-homologous chromosome is translocation duplication.
A segment of chromosome responsible for a particular characteristic?
DNA or genens these are the segments of the chromosome.
What are the four types of chromosomal mutations?
There are four different types of chromosomal mutations: Deletions, Translocations, Duplications and Inversions
What is an mutation?
An Inversion mutation is a mutation that causes a reversal in the order of a segment of a chromosome within the chromosome, or a gene.
If a segment of a chromosome breaks away and joins to a non-homologous chromosomes what is it called?
When a segment of a chromosome breaks away and joins a non-homologous chromosome, it is called a translocation. This can lead to gene disruptions and potentially cause genetic disorders.
A segment of DNA found on a chromosome that codes for a protein?
a gene
What is a segment with information to make a protein?
A segment of DNA on a chromosome that controls the production of a protein is called a gene. Chromosome a cellular structure that contains DNA.
Which refers to the addition of an extra segment of a chromosome?
This is known as a chromosomal duplication, which involves the replication of a segment of a chromosome resulting in an extra copy. Duplication can lead to genetic disorders or variations in an individual's traits.
Chromosome inversion 10?
Chromosome inversion is a genetic rearrangement where a segment of a chromosome is reversed end to end. This can occur due to breaks in the chromosome followed by a reinsertion of the segment in the opposite orientation. Inversions can affect gene expression and may lead to genetic disorders or contribute to evolutionary changes. Inversion on chromosome 10 specifically can have various implications depending on the genes involved and the nature of the inversion.
