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.
What is it called when a segment of a chromosome is repeated?
The mutation in which a segment of a chromosome is repeated is known as duplication.
A segment of DNA that codes for a protein is called a?
A segment of DNA that codes for a protein is called a gene, or an exon.
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.
The difference between deletion duplication inversion and translocation?
Deletions are a loss of all or part of a chromosome. Duplications produce extra copies of parts of a chromosome. Inversions reverse the direction of parts of a chromosome. Translocations occur when part of one chromosome breaks off and attaches to another.
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.
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.
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.
What is it called when a segment of a chromosome is repeated?
The mutation in which a segment of a chromosome is repeated is known as duplication.
The type of mutation in which a chromosome segment breaks away and recombines in reverse order is called?
inversion
A segment of DNA that codes for a protein is called a?
A segment of DNA that codes for a protein is called a gene, or an exon.
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.
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 is it called when extra copies of part of a chromosome are made?
It is called gene duplication when extra copies of a gene or segment of DNA are created within a chromosome. This process can lead to genetic variation and the emergence of new gene functions.
What is the shorter segment of a chromosome?
Just a DNA strand
What is a loss of complete chromosome called?
A loss of a complete chromosome is called monosomy. This occurs when a cell only has one copy of a particular chromosome instead of the usual two copies.
