Down syndrome results when cells receive three copies of chromosome 21.
A trisomy is a condition in which a person has three copies of a chromosome instead of the usual two copies. A person can have full trisomy (three copies in every cell) or mosaic trisomy (three copies in some cells but not all).
Yes, chromosomes make copies of themselves through a process called DNA replication. During cell division, each chromosome is duplicated to ensure that each daughter cell receives an identical set of genetic material.
46 chromosomes.... but regarding to sex cells theres 23...
Uniparental disomy is a genetic condition where a person receives both copies of a chromosome from one parent, instead of one copy from each parent. This can lead to various genetic disorders or health problems depending on the specific chromosomes involved.
A diploid eukaryotic cell has two sets of chromosomes, one set inherited from each parent. This results in pairs of homologous chromosomes. Diploid cells undergo meiosis to produce haploid gametes for sexual reproduction.
Down syndrome occurs when an individual receives an extra 21st chromosome.
Down syndrome
Three copies of chromosomes are known as trisomy. This genetic condition can result in disorders such as Down syndrome (trisomy 21) when an individual has an extra copy of chromosome 21.
HomologousWe receive one complete set of chromosomes from each parent. This means that for each chromosome, say chromosome 7, there are two copies in every cell of our bodies: the maternal and paternal copies of chromosome 7.The two copies of one chromosome are called a pair of homologous chromosomes.

Mitosis, or the splitting of one cell, results in the two identical copies of the first cell. The chromosomes are also split during the anaphase.
A trisomy is a condition in which a person has three copies of a chromosome instead of the usual two copies. A person can have full trisomy (three copies in every cell) or mosaic trisomy (three copies in some cells but not all).
Organisms can have two copies of each chromosome, one from each parent. This is known as diploid. Other organisms, like plants, can have more than two copies of each chromosome (polyploidy). Having multiple copies of chromosomes can affect gene expression and traits in organisms.
Yes, chromosomes make copies of themselves through a process called DNA replication. During cell division, each chromosome is duplicated to ensure that each daughter cell receives an identical set of genetic material.
Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, with one copy of each chromosome inherited from each parent. This results in a total of 46 chromosomes, with each pair containing similar genetic information but potentially some variations between the two copies. This arrangement ensures genetic diversity and helps in the inheritance of traits from both parents.
In a skin cell, you would find two copies of each chromosome, one from the mother and one from the father. This results in a total of 46 chromosomes, arranged in 23 pairs.
Trisomy-21, also known as Down syndrome, results from an extra copy of chromosome 21. Instead of the usual two copies, individuals with Down syndrome have three copies of chromosome 21. This extra genetic material can lead to various physical and cognitive differences.
