What part of a chromosome breaks off and attaches to another chromosome is?
The part of a chromosome that breaks off and attaches to another chromosome is called a chromosomal segment or chromosomal fragment. This process can occur during events such as crossing over in meiosis or through chromosomal rearrangements, like translocations. These alterations can lead to genetic diversity but may also result in genetic disorders or cancer if they disrupt important genes.
Chromosomal structures that shorten with each cell division are called?
Telomeres
What structure acts as a scaffolding for chromosomal attatchment and movement?
Spindle acts as a scaffolding for chromosomal attachment and movement. Chromosomes attach to the spindle fibers by undivided structures called centromeres.
In humans what are chromosomal pairs 1 through 22 called?
autosomal
Which chromosomal hereditary material can be packaged in this organelle in eukaryotic cells but not in prokaryotic cells?
This organelle is called the nucleus.
The change in the position of a gene on a chromosome is called a?
The change in the position of a gene on a chromosome is called a mutation or a chromosomal rearrangement. This change can result in alterations to the structure or function of the gene, leading to different traits or diseases.
What is a sudden change in chromosomes called?
A sudden change in chromosomes is called a chromosomal mutation. This can involve alterations in the structure or number of chromosomes. Examples include deletions, duplications, inversions, or translocations.

What disease is called by a genetic mutation?
cystic fibrosis
What is a change or error in the structure of a gene or chromosome?
A change in the structure of a gene or chromosome is called a mutation. Mutations can occur through different mechanisms such as substitution, deletion, insertion, or rearrangement of DNA sequences, leading to alterations in the genetic information carried by the affected gene or chromosome. Mutations can have various effects on an organism, ranging from no noticeable impact to causing genetic disorders or diseases.
What is a discrete group of birth defects that are as a result of a single cause called?
Such groups of defects are called "syndromes".
What are symdromes?
When multiple birth defects occur together and have a similar cause, they are called syndromes
Chromosomal structures that shorten with each cell division are called?
Telomeres
What is the deoxyribonucleic acid or the genetic material usually called?
Chromosomal Dna.
How can chromosomal abnormalities of an unborn baby be diagnosed during pregnancy?
By what is called as amniocentesis, you can diagnose the chromosomal abnormality of the unborn baby. You do this procedure under cover of ultrasonography. The fetal cells will give you complete picture of the chromosomal abnormality of the unborn child.
What is the medical term of trisomy 16?
It is called Patau syndrome and is a chromosomal abnormality
What are Extra-chromosomal DNA particles capable of independent replication are called?
Extra-chromosomal DNA particles capable of independent replication are called plasmids. Plasmids are circular DNA molecules found in bacteria that can replicate independently of the chromosomal DNA. They often carry additional genes that can provide advantages to the bacteria, such as antibiotic resistance.
