What is a chromosome called when it gets lost during mitosis?
" gets lost "I think you are describing a nondisjuction event where the chromosomes are not properly pulled apart to their proper positions by the mitotic spindle.
What will happen to chromosomes that has two centromere?
centromere is place at which spindle fibers are attached if the centromere is lost then chromosome will lose its point for the attachement of the spindle fiber and then will not be able to take part in mitosis. chromosome is usually lost in this case.
Mutation that occurs at the chromosome level resulting in changes in the gene distribution?
Chromosomal mutationAneuploidyAneuploidy occurs when a cell has the wrong number of chromosomes either due to an extra or missing chromosome. This type of problem can occur during the anaphase part of M phase. Through a process called nondisjunction the chromosome pairs may not separate properly causing one of the daughter cells to receive both copies of a chromosome and the other daughter cell receives no copies of that chromosome. Therefore, one daughter cell will have an extra chromosome and the other daughter cell will have a missing chromosome. Also, this problem can occur if there is a lag during anaphase. When the pairs of chromosomes separate to each side of the cell, a chromosome may travel too slow which would cause it to not be incorporated into the new cell. This new cell would be missing a chromosome. DeletionChromosome Deletions occur when the cell is missing a portion of a chromosome. This type of problem can occur during S phase if there is a problem during DNA replication or other parts of interphase if the DNA is damaged. DuplicationChromosome Duplications occur when a cell has a repeated portion of a chromosome which causes the cell to have extra information. This type of problem can occur during S phase if there is a problem during DNA replication. InversionChromosome Inversions occur when a piece of a chromosome breaks and that piece is reattached in the opposite orientation. This type of problem can occur during interphase if the DNA is exposed to damage that causes DNA breakage. InsertionChromosome Insertions occur when a piece of a chromosome that had broken reattaches in a location where this genetic material is not typically found. This type of problem can occur during interphase if the DNA is broken and then repaired by attaching to a different location. TranslocationThere are two types of translocations: reciprocal and robertsonian. A reciprocal translocation occurs when two nonhomologous chromosomes break and then switch genetic material. A robertsonian translocation occurs when two chromosomes break on the p arm near the centromere and then the two q arms attach together while the p arms are lost. Either of these types of translocation can occur at any point during the cell cycle.
What is the cause of Cri Du Chat syndrome?
Cri du chat is caused during meiosis (the production of sex cells, such as the egg or sperm) when chromosome number 5 is not aligned correctly when separating and part of chromosome number 5 is chipped of, lost, and not repaired correctly or at all. then this cell merges with the other sex cell and a baby with cri du chat is formed
Why do prokaryotic cells produce more ATP per mocule than eukaryotic cells?
Because Eukaryotic cells need to transfer the NADH produced from glycolysis to the mitochondria and in order to do so, 2 ATP must be used to transfer the electron carriers to the mitochondrial matrix. hope that helps.
When a chromosome undergoes a delation mutation information is?
Information is lost.
When parts of chromosomes are broken off and lost during mitosis or meiosis the result is?
when parts of chromosomes are broken off and lost during mitosis the results is a chromosomal mutation
When parts of chromosomes are broken off and lost during mitosis or meiosis the result is an?
when parts of chromosomes are broken off and lost during mitosis the results is a chromosomal mutation
What happens if asegment of DNA is deleted?
It would be as if a part of a chromosome were lost. This is called a deletion. It can cause a gene to be lost or not expressed. Several genetic disorders are caused by this process.
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.

How did Amelia earhart get lost?
It is not known if Amelia Earhart was lost on her flight. It is known that she was low on gas and is presumed to of crashed into the ocean.
The yellow lab on Lost is known as?
Vincent.
Is cats crying syndrome inherited?
Most cases of cri-du-chat syndrome are not inherited. The deletion of part of a chromosome occurs most often as a random event during the formation of reproductive cells (eggs or sperm) or in early fetal development. Affected people typically have no history of the disorder in their family.About 10 percent of people with cri-du-chat syndrome inherit the chromosome abnormalityfrom an unaffected parent. In these cases, the parent carries a chromosomal rearrangementcalled a balanced translocation, in which no genetic material is gained or lost. They however show no signs of the disorder.Balanced translocations usually do not cause any health problems; but they can become unbalanced as they are passed to the next generation.
What is known as the lost continent?

Which place is known as land of lost continent?
africa
