Because if the same amount of genetic material is present, then the individual has all the correct material for normal development. In this case it is called a "balanced translocation" or BT. If there is extra genetic material (duplications) or of some of it is missing (deletions) then the individual most often has problems relating to physical and/or mental development. This is known as an "unbalanced translocation" or UBT. Duplications and deletions of genetic material also often result in miscarriage of the embryo. If the embryo survives, it very often has severe complications. So in cases of repeated miscarriage, it is important for the parents be be tested for possible chromosome issues.

Most serious problem associated with the inversion of genetic material?
Chromosomal defects in offspring. Because no genetic material is lost with inversion of genetic material, individuals often have no obvious physical effects. The major risk with the inversion of genetic material is that offspring of these individuals may have more severe chromosomal abnormalities.
Is huntingtons a chromosomal or a genetic disease?
Hungtington's disease is a dominant mutation in the gene that codes for the protein 'Huntington' It only affects a single gene, the remainder of the chromosome is unaffected and therefore it is not a chromosomal abnormality
Genetic mutation caused by the loss of a chromosomal segment?
Deletion
What is the deoxyribonucleic acid or the genetic material usually called?
Chromosomal Dna.
How often should you repressureise your central hearing boiler?
You should not have to. If you do it means you have a problem.
What are the four types of chromosomal mutations?
There are four different types of chromosomal mutations: Deletions, Translocations, Duplications and Inversions
What is observed in a karyotype?
A karyotype is basically a chart of the number and structure of chromosomes. They can reveal ploidy differences (missing or additional chromosomes such as trisomy 21) or chromosomal mutations (like inversions, deletions, translocations etc)
What are the uses of spectral karyotyping?
Spectral Karyotyping (SKY) can detect 1. Chromosomal material of unknown origin 2. Complex rearrangements 3. Translocations 4. Large deletions 5. Duplications 6. Aneuploidy and more.
How might karyotypes be useful to doctors?
Doctors can use karyotypes to determine the sex of an individual. They can also use karyotypes to determine whether an individual has an abnormal number of chromosomes or noticeable chromosomal mutations, such as large deletions, additions, or translocations.
What change in the chromosomal structure involves the transfer of one section of a chromosome to a non homologous chromosome?
The change in chromosomal structure involving the transfer of one section of a chromosome to a non-homologous chromosome is known as a chromosomal translocation. This can result in genes being positioned in a different order or location, which can potentially disrupt gene function or regulation. Translocations are associated with various genetic disorders and can have significant effects on an individual's health and development.
Most serious problem associated with the inversion of genetic material?
Chromosomal defects in offspring. Because no genetic material is lost with inversion of genetic material, individuals often have no obvious physical effects. The major risk with the inversion of genetic material is that offspring of these individuals may have more severe chromosomal abnormalities.
Mental retardation caused by what disorders is often apparent from infancy?
If retardation is caused by chromosomal or other genetic disorders, it is often apparent from infancy.
What is the resulting mutation when a a piece of chromosome attaches itself to a nonhomologous chromosome?
Translocations
What does chromosomal loci mean?
Chromosomal Loci is a Heterozygous
What is the cause of chromosomal?
Chromosomal disorders are caused by abnormalities in the chromosomes.
Is turners recessive or dominant?
It is neither recessive nor dominant because it is a chromosomal disorder and not just a problem present in a single gene.
What is the causes of chromosomal disorder?
Chromosomal disorders are caused by abnormalities in the chromosomes.
