Aneuploid simply means fewer or more than the normal 2N chromosome count present in an individual.

In humans the only sex chromosome 1N aneuploides that live are individuals with only one X chromosome with limited viability and no reproductive capability.

Since only one X chromosome is active in the cells of a male or a female human and the other X chromosome is a Bar-body it follows that a single X chromosome could

produce a living organism where a single Y chromosome, which has very little genetic material would be inadequate to perform the function of an X chromosome.

Other multiplicities like XYY, XXX and XXY, cause genetic physiologic anomalies that often remain undiagnosed, however, the presence of one or two X chromosomes will produce viable and the XYY and XXX individuals can reproduce.

Autosomal aneuploides generally result in EOD (early embryonic death) due to issues with cell division or with significant changes to gene dosage. Trisomy 21 (Down syndrome) occurs on the smallest chromosome appears to have less effect on doseage, which is why this is one of the few polyploid conditions that produce viable offspring.

Why are lethal dominant alleles less common than lethal recessive alleles?

Lethal dominant alleles are less common than lethal recessive alleles because individuals with lethal dominant alleles typically die before they can pass on the harmful gene to their offspring, reducing the frequency of the allele in the population. In contrast, individuals with lethal recessive alleles can carry the gene without showing symptoms, allowing the allele to persist in the population through carriers who can pass it on to their offspring.


Does The Y chromosome have any DNA?

Yes, although it has less DNA and is smaller than its partner the X chromosome


What will happen if a human have more or less chromosomes?

If you have more or less chromosomes,you will have a rare disease called "anti-chromosome".it is also known as Down Syndrome.You may suffer from brain damage or cancer too.This is a very rare disease.


Why does Lesch-Nyhan syndrome affect males?

Lesch-Nyhan syndrome is an X-linked recessive disorder, meaning the gene mutation responsible for the condition is located on the X chromosome. Males have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome, so if they inherit the mutated gene on their X chromosome, they will develop the disorder. Females have two X chromosomes, so they are less likely to inherit the mutation on both X chromosomes.


The farther apart two genes are located on a chromosome the?

The farther apart two genes are located on a chromosome, the higher the likelihood that they will be separated during genetic recombination events. This can result in the independent assortment of those genes during gamete formation.

What effect does nondisjunction have on the chromosome number of the gametes?

It gives one of the gametes an extra chromosome and leaves the other gamete with one less chromosome.


Are less lethal weapons legal?

The use of non-lethal weapons are regulated by the various states and country. You have to check the laws in your specific jurisdiction.

What is less lethal weapon?

Weapons used (mainly) by law enforcement officers. They are not intended to cause death (although they MAY- the term is LESS Lethal, not non-lethal) to rather to disable a person. An example might be a shotgun that fires a "beanbag" projectile rather than lead shot, or a TASER.


Are there any nonlethal and legal bullets?

Yes there is, its called "less lethal ammunition" not nonlethal as anything that you shoot at someone could possible kill them if it hits a vital area or hits them just right. Go here to look at all the different manufacturers of less lethal ammunition http:/directory.officer.com/buyersguide/WEAPONS_-_AMMUNITION/Less-lethal_ammunition/index.html Also this is a good description of what less lethal is all about: http:/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Less-lethal_weapon Be safe..

Is a hollow tip bullet less lethal than a standard bullet?

"Less lethal" is a very subjective term, however, a hollow point bullet is generally considered to be more effective in regards to stopping an adversary than a round nosed bullet.


Why is the eukaryotic cell's DNA sometimes in chromosome form?

The DNA of the Eukaryotic cell is sometimes seen in chromosome form because of the simplicity of the cell. The more complex the organism, the less likely the DNA will be seen in chromosome form.
