There are multiple genes encoded by this chromosome. The duplication of the chromosome might have dysregulated multiple genes that affect the patterning of the head and body and affect wing pigmentation. On the other hand, one gene might be involved in all these processes.

For instance, patients with Down syndrome have three copies of chromosome 21, resulting in developmental issues but also an early onset of Alzheimers Disease.

If an organism has six pairs of chromosomes how many different game meat can I produce?

An organism with six pairs of chromosomes has a total of 12 chromosomes. The number of different gametes that can be produced through independent assortment is calculated using the formula (2^n), where (n) is the number of chromosome pairs. In this case, (2^6 = 64). Therefore, the organism can produce 64 different gametes.


What does the chromosome of a bacterium do?

The chromosome of a bacterium does essentially the same thing that chromosomes do for all life forms. It describes the formation of proteins for the organism, allowing it to produce and grow the proper structures at the proper time, allowing it to survive most efficiently.


Tell me what a replicated Chromosome?

A replicated chromosome is a chromosome that has been copied during the S phase of the cell cycle, resulting in two identical sister chromatids joined at the centromere. This duplication ensures that each daughter cell receives a complete set of genetic material during cell division.


What does fertile organism mean?

An organism that is capable of reproducing or breeding.


Can more than one mutation occur in a single organism?

Yes, mutations can occur all over at the same time. For example in a multicellular organism a gamma ray or x-ray photon passing through the organism can generate one or more mutations in every cell that the photon passes through. Another example mutagenic chemicals can produce many mutations in every chromosome.

The difference between deletion duplication inversion and translocation?

Deletions are a loss of all or part of a chromosome. Duplications produce extra copies of parts of a chromosome. Inversions reverse the direction of parts of a chromosome. Translocations occur when part of one chromosome breaks off and attaches to another.

An organism with 24 chromosomes in each body cell will produce sex cells with chromosomes?

An organism with 24 chromosomes in each body cell will produce sex cells with 12 chromosomes each. This is because during meiosis, the chromosome number is halved to ensure the correct number of chromosomes in the offspring.

When an original chromosome copies it self it is said to?

When an original chromosome copies itself, it is said to undergo DNA replication. This process involves the duplication of the genetic material to produce two identical sister chromatids that are attached at the centromere. DNA replication is an essential step in cell division and ensures that each daughter cell receives a complete set of genetic information.


What is hyper- pigmentation?

Hyper-pigmentation , a process of the skin to be darken as compare to its surrounding.Our skin cell melanocytes produce a substance called melanin. melanin is the pigmentating substance in our skin.Cause: Excess of the melanin in the skin causes the hyper-pigmentation of skin.There are many skin condition which is form of hyper-pigmentation in skin. More common reason for such pigmentation disorders is the harmful ultra violet radiation in skin. The inverse of hyper-pigmentation is the depigmentation or hypo-pigmentation such as the skin condition vitiligo.


If an organism has five pairs of chromosomes how many different gametes could it produce without crossing over?

The organism could produce 32 different gametes without crossing over. This is calculated as 2^n, where n is the number of chromosome pairs. In this case, 2^5 = 32.


What is hypo-pigmentation in skin?

Pigmentation term use for the process of skin which is responsible for the coloration of skin and continuously produce pigment.Hypo-pigmentation: It is also termed as depigmentation. It is a pigmentation disorder in which white spots appear on skin. Hypo-pigmentation in skin occurs when in a certain part of skin pigmented substance "Melanin" quantity decreases from a certain level.Vitiligo, Nevus depigmentosus , Pityriasis Alba and Idiopathic guttate hypomelanosis are the example of Hypo-pigmentation
