Describe three ways genetic diseases are caused?
1. (1) Produced by an abnormality in, or a mutation of the genetic code in a single gene; (2) Caused by several abnormal genes (Producing so-called polygenic diseases); or (3) Caused by the abnormal presence or absence of an entire chromosome or by alteration in the structure of chromosomes.
What type of chromosomal mutation is wolf hirschhorn syndrome?
Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome is primarily caused by a deletion of a portion of chromosome 4, specifically at the 4p16.3 region. This chromosomal mutation is classified as a deletion mutation, where a segment of the chromosome is missing, leading to the loss of genetic material. The syndrome is characterized by developmental delays, distinctive facial features, and other congenital anomalies.
Is Huntington's disease caused by a gene mutation or a chromosomal mutation?
Huntington's disease is caused by a gene mutation, specifically in the HTT gene on chromosome 4.
Is usher syndrome a gene or chromosomal?
Usher syndrome is a relatively rare genetic disorder caused by a mutation. The gene is not carried on one of the sex chromosomes (X or Y).
What is caused by genetic mutation?
cancer
Is galactosemia a type of chromosomal mutation?
No, galactosemia is not a type of chromosomal mutation. It is a genetic disorder caused by mutations in specific genes that are involved in the metabolism of galactose, primarily the GALT gene. These mutations lead to an inability to properly process galactose, resulting in toxic accumulation. Chromosomal mutations involve changes in the structure or number of chromosomes, which is different from the single-gene mutations seen in galactosemia.
Is down's syndrome caused by a gene or chromosomal mutation?
Neither. It is an extra #21 chromosome.
Is cystic fibrosis chromosomal abnormality?
Yes, it is caused by a mutation in the gene for the protein CFTR.
What genetic term describes a change to chromosomes structure caused by radiation chemicals pollutants or during replication?
a) mutation b) allele c) gene d) replicator

A mutation caused by a piece of DNA breaking away from its chromosome and becoming attached to a nonhomologous chromosome is called?
This type of mutation is called a translocation mutation. It involves the movement of a segment of DNA from one chromosome to another non-homologous chromosome, leading to potential genetic changes and abnormalities.
An inherited disease or disorder that is caused by a mutation in a gene or by a chromosomal defect?
There are many thousands of different mutations.
Is marfan syndrome a chromosomal abnormality?
No, Marfan syndrome is not a chromosomal abnormality. It is a genetic disorder caused by a mutation in the fibrillin-1 (FBN1) gene, which affects the body's connective tissue. This gene is located on chromosome 15.
