Any chromosome can be affected by aneuploidy. However, generally, the larger the chromosome, the larger the likelihood that the change in chromosome number will be fatal.

Did organisms from bacteria to plants to humans have 46 chromosomes true or false?

False. Organisms may have varying numbers of chromosomes. For example, humans have 46 chromosomes, while bacteria typically have one circular chromosome. Plants can have different numbers of chromosomes depending on the species.


Can Karyotypes help pinpoint cases caused by unusual chromosome numbers?

Yes, karyotypes can help pinpoint cases caused by unusual chromosome numbers. By analyzing a person's chromosomes, karyotypes can detect abnormalities such as missing or extra chromosomes, which can lead to genetic disorders and health conditions. This information is important for diagnosis, prognosis, and potential treatment planning.


What is the number of chromosomes in a gemete?

Depends on what species is in questions - different species have different numbers of chromosomes in gametes.


How is a karyotype created?

Karyotype: This is a method to detect defects in the chromosome. You make an image of the chromosomes and then order them according to number ( in human 23 pairs) and you match the 2 chromosomes of a pair. Now gross changes such as extra numbers of a pair or missing numbers. Using a method called FISH you can also give each individual chromosome a color. In this way you can detect translocations, meaning that a part of the chromosome has attached itself to another chromosome. Small changes such as deletions of a nucleotide are not detectable, for that you need to do a DNA analysis. It is used in medecine to detect the cause of certain syndromes and diseases mostly inborn, or to detect the changes in cancer cells that underlie the disease


Which pairs of cells do not have identical chromosomes numbers in a given species of plants?

In plants, the gametes (such as pollen and egg cells) have half the number of chromosomes as somatic cells. This means that the pairs of cells that do not have identical chromosome numbers in a plant species are the gametes and somatic cells. Gametes have half the number of chromosomes as somatic cells due to the process of meiosis that reduces the chromosome number by half during gamete formation.

When the cell splits how does the DNA not get damaged?

DNA is part of chromosome, and will not be affected. The cell splits in chromosomes. There may be some DNAs damaged, but this is in very very small numbers.


How does the number of chromosome in a persons gametes compare with the numbers of chromosomes in the body cells?

What is chromosome number of bamboo?

The number of chromosomes in bamboo vary with each type and hybrid. The numbers vary between 48 and 96 chromosomes; 24-48 chromosomal pairs.


What feature or features are used to order and assign numbers 1-22 to the chromosomes?

The numbering of chromosomes is based on their size, with the largest chromosome typically designated as "Chromosome 1" and the smallest as "Chromosome 22." This numbering system is not indicative of importance, but rather serves as a way to differentiate and identify each chromosome.


How many chromosomes does a woodchuck have?

A woodchuck, also known as a groundhog, has a total of 32 chromosomes. This includes 16 pairs of homologous chromosomes, similar to the chromosome count in many other mammals. Chromosome numbers can vary widely across different species, but for woodchucks, 32 is the established count.

How many chromosmes does mold have?

Mold can have varying numbers of chromosomes depending on the species. Typically, molds have a haploid chromosome number, which means they have one set of chromosomes. This can range from 1 to several dozen chromosomes.
