translocation
i'm doing the same worksheet for my finals study guide, and in my book it discussed this.

How do you see mutation in a karyotype?
You might see an extra chromosome or a missing chromosome. You might see a piece of a chromosome missing, or a piece added onto another chromosome.
How does nondisjunction cause Trisomy 21?
it can cause Trisomy 21 because an extra chromosome can be added.
What are names of mutations in chromosomes?
1. Duplication - Where a portion of a chromosome is duplicated, resulting in multiple copies of the region. 2. Deletions - When a deletion of a nucleotide (nitrogen bases of a DNA) causes a shift of the mRNA codons. This will cause Alternations of Amino Acids. 3. Insertions - Occurs when an extra nucleotide is added. 4. Inversions - When a portion of a chromosome breaks off and reinserts itself in the same spot but in the reversed position 5. Translocation - When a portion of 2 chromosomes break off and switch locations
What does sucrase do in your bodies?
breaks down sucrose into glucose and fructose
What effect does Down syndrome have on the chromosomes?
Down syndrome is usually caused by a condition known as Trisomy 21, which means that a person has three copies of Chromosome 21, rather than the usual two copies. An extra chromosome is added. The normal amount is 46, but people with Down syndrome have 47.Occasionally, the condition is a result of part of Chromosome 21 becoming fused to the end of another chromosome.More info on Chromosome 21While Chromosome 21 isn't the shortest chromosome, it is the one that contains the fewest genes (other than the Y chromosome). This is because genes on Chromosome 22 are more closely spaced, and thus the chromosome contains more genes, despite its smaller size.
When part of one chromosome breaks off and is added to a different chromosome the result is a?
Addition
When part of the one chromosome breaks off and is added to a different chromosome the result is a?
Translocation
When a part of one chromosome breaks off and is added to a different chromosome the result is?
Addition
When part of a chromosome breaks off and is added to a diffrent chromosome the result is?
I think this might be called chromosomal rearrangement, and this caused genetic variation in individuals, because a new segment of DNA is being inserted into a random spot on the chromosome, creating a new genetic sequence in that area. Its Translocation.
When a x chromosome is add is added to your mothers x chromosome what will you be?
A Male
How do you see mutation in a karyotype?
You might see an extra chromosome or a missing chromosome. You might see a piece of a chromosome missing, or a piece added onto another chromosome.
How is the X chromosome inactivated?
The X chromosome is inactivated when a (-CH3) gets added to one of the nitrogenous bases of DNA nucleotides.
How does nondisjunction cause Trisomy 21?
it can cause Trisomy 21 because an extra chromosome can be added.
What happens during the Translocation mutation?
Translocation in the study of DNA involves the synthesis of proteins from ribosome structures. It starts when the mRNA leaves the nucleus (end of transcirption) and moves to the cytoplasm. From there a tRNA molecule carrying the corresponding amino acid for each codon on the mRNA forms the corresponding chain of proteins. This process continues until all of the codons on the mRNA are read by the tRNA. Each time a protein is bound to the tail end of the mRNA, an amino acid is added to the end of the link. By the end, a long chain of proteins has been constructed, based on the original DNA blueprint for that particular protein to be built. in shorter terms, a chromosome piece breaks off and reattaches to a non-homologous chromosome
In football why is injury time so called?
Extra time is added due to stoppage that can occur in soccer for the following reasons:RestartsInjuriesFightsPitch Invasions.These breaks are traditionally called stoppages, and they result in extra time added. This stoppage time is added so that 90 minutes will actually have been played.
