4 types of mutation resulting from the breakage of chromosomes?
Deletion: loss of a chromosomal segment. Duplication: repetition of a chromosomal segment. Inversion: reversal of a chromosomal segment. Translocation: movement of a chromosomal segment to a new location on a different chromosome.
Mutation is any change in a gene or chromosome?
mutations
What chromosome is Proteus syndrome located?
Proteus syndrome is not caused by a specific gene on a particular chromosome; instead, it is thought to be due to a somatic mutation (mutation occurring after fertilization) in the AKT1 gene. This mutation leads to overgrowth of certain tissues in the body, resulting in the characteristic features of the syndrome.
What mutation cause changes in the number of chromosome?
Aneuploidy mutation causes a change in the number of chromosomes. Aneuploidy occurs during cell division when the chromosomes do not separate properly resulting in a change in the number of chromosomes.
What chromosomes are affected with hurler syndrome?
Hurler syndrome is caused by a mutation in the gene located on chromosome 4 that provides instructions for producing an enzyme called alpha-L-iduronidase. This mutation leads to the accumulation of glycosaminoglycans in the body, resulting in the various symptoms associated with the syndrome.
What is the resulting mutation when a a piece of chromosome attaches itself to a nonhomologous chromosome?
Translocations
When a piece of chromosome attaches itself to a nonhomologous chromosome the resulting mutation is called?
translocation

What is an mutation?
An Inversion mutation is a mutation that causes a reversal in the order of a segment of a chromosome within the chromosome, or a gene.
Mutation is any change in a gene or chromosome?

What are four of chromosomal mutation?
Four types of chromosomal mutations are Down syndrome (which is a mutation in which there are three copies of chromosome 21), Kinefelter Syndrome (which is a mutation in which a male has an extra X-chromosome), Turner Syndrome (which is a mutation in which a female is missing an X-chromosome), and Patau Syndrome (which is a mutation in which there are three copies of chromosome 13).
What is the term for any permanent change in a gene of chromosome?
A mutation is the term for any permanent change in a gene or chromosome. Mutations can be caused by various factors, such as errors during DNA replication or exposure to certain environmental factors like radiation or chemicals.
What chromosome is Proteus syndrome located?
Proteus syndrome is not caused by a specific gene on a particular chromosome; instead, it is thought to be due to a somatic mutation (mutation occurring after fertilization) in the AKT1 gene. This mutation leads to overgrowth of certain tissues in the body, resulting in the characteristic features of the syndrome.
Is klinefelter syndrome chomosomal mutation?
Klinefelters syndrome occurs in a male and it is when they carry and extra X chromosome having a total of 47chromosomes rather than the usual 46. Thus resulting in a chromosomal mutation.
