you can get a genetic (it runs in families, so if your immediate relatives have not got it, its a good chance you wont either) disease called Huntington's Disease that affects the genes and chromosome, that causes death because it is a mutation of the genes, but otherwise, i don't know.
What else can I help you with?
A segment of chromosome responsible for a particular characteristic?
DNA or genens these are the segments of the chromosome.
What are chromosome responsible for?
Life man yeah dude
What genes are responsible for neuronal migration disorders?
The most well characterized genes include DCX on the X chromosome, responsible for double cortex syndrome, and LIS1 on chromosome 17, the first gene identified for lissencephaly.
What can too few of a type of chromosome cause?
Too few of a type of chromosome can cause genetic disorders or death. Turner Syndrome occurs when there is a missing X chromosome.
What element is responsible for determining male sex in humans?
The element responsible for determining male sex in humans is the Y chromosome.
What portion of the human Y chromosome is homologous to the human X chromosome?
The pseudoautosomal regions (PARs) at the tips of the Y chromosome are homologous to regions on the X chromosome. These PARs are responsible for pairing and recombination between the X and Y chromosomes during meiosis. About 5% of the Y chromosome is homologous to the X chromosome in humans.
How was Abel killed and who was responsible for his death?
Abel was killed by his brother Cain, who was responsible for his death.
For what are genes on the y chromosome responsible?
Genes on the Y chromosome are responsible for male sex determination and other male-specific traits. They play a crucial role in the development of male reproductive organs and secondary sexual characteristics.
In humans the shorter of the sex chromosomes?
In humans, the Y chromosome is noticeably shorter than the X chromosome.
Why is that men are responsible for the gender of their children?
Men are responsible for the gender of their children due to the contribution of their sperm, which carries either an X or a Y chromosome. Women contribute an X chromosome through their eggs. If the sperm carrying a Y chromosome fertilizes the egg, the child will be male (XY), while an X chromosome from the sperm results in a female child (XX). Thus, the combination of the chromosomes from both parents determines the child's gender.
What chromosome is affected in fabry disease?
The allele that is responsible of Fabry Disorder/Disease is located on the X chromosome and is the only lipid storage disorder identified as being sex linked.
Which parent regardless of the phenotype is responsible for color blindness in a son?
Color blindness is typically inherited in an X-linked recessive pattern. This means that a son inherits his X chromosome from his mother and his Y chromosome from his father. Therefore, regardless of the mother's phenotype, she is the parent responsible for passing on the X chromosome that may carry the gene for color blindness, while the father contributes a Y chromosome. If the mother is a carrier or affected, there is a chance for the son to be color blind.
