autosomalA+ Autosomal
This would be just a genetic or inherited condition.
The gene that causes cystic fibrosis is located on chromosome 7, which is an autosome, not a sex chromosome.
This would be just a genetic or inherited condition.
autosomalA+ Autosomal
Sickle cell anemia and cystic fibrosis are carried on autosomes (chromosomes other than the sex chromosomes). Probably too many to list . . Right now, off the top of my head, I can think of Down's Syndrome (21st chromosome) and the "cri du chat" (5th chromosome) . . .
The x chromosome is one of the sex chromosomes, the other being the y chromosome. In mammals there are two of the sex chromosomes in each organism. Females generally contain two x chromosomes, and males contain one x chromosome and one y chromosome.
The chromosomes you are referring to are called autosomes.
Chromosome pair 23 in humans is the pair of sex chromosomes. In females, both sex chromosomes are the X sex chromosome, and in human males one sex chromosome is the X and the other is the Y chromosome.
Each chromosome in a pair of homologous chromosomes is inherited from one parent. One chromosome comes from the mother (maternal) and the other from the father (paternal).
Polyploidy is the condition in which a normally diploid cell or organism acquires one or more additional sets of chromosomes. In other words, the polyploid cell or organism has three or more times the haploid chromosome number. Polyploidy arises as the result of total nondisjunction of chromosomes during mitosis or meiosis.
In humans, males have one Y chromosome and one x chromosome in addition to 44 other chromosomes, females have two Xs. Because of errors in gamete (egg or sperm) production, some humans have XYY, XXY, or some other combination of sex chromosomes.
