symptoms tend to be more severe in achondroplasia. What causes achondroplasia? It is a rare genetic disorder which gets transmitted as autosomal dominant trait. This means that one copy of altered gene in each cell is enough to cause the disease. Chromosomes are found

where an individual has an extra chromosome 13. Trisomy 13 was first recognized by Patau and his colleagues in 1960 (Matthews‚ 1999). It affects approximately 1 in 12‚000 births and is the least common of the trisomy syndromes‚ after trisomy 18 and trisomy 21 (Down syndrome). An abnormality of the chromosome occurs when mitosis or meiosis does not happen correctly. During mitosis‚ when the cells are dividing‚ chromosomes are either lost or gained. The chromosomes do not separate evenly. When the

of the microtubules will cause the movement of the chromosomes during the anaphase because anaphase involves the separation of the sister chromatids at the centromeres via the shortening of the spindle fibers. 9. B D During the S phase the cell is replicating an therefore the number of the picograms is doubled. During the G2 phase only the size of the cell increases but not the actual number of the picograms. 10. B D THe chromosomes are "reeled in" by the shortening of spindle microtubules

are packaged into chromosomes. 4) The nuclei of a human somatic cell (all body cells except the reproductive cells) each contain 46 chromosomes made up of two sets of 23‚ one set inherited from each parent. 5) Reproductive cells or gametes-sperm and eggs-have half as many chromosomes as somatic cells‚ or only one set of 23 chromosomes. 6) Eukaryotic chromosomes are made of chromatin‚ a complex of DNA and associated protein molecules. C. Distribution of Chromosomes During Eukaryotic

does synapsis of homologous chromosomes only happen in meiosis? Synapsis is the alignment of the genes on the chromatids of homologous chromosomes. Therefore‚ it only happens in meiosis because the haploid daughter cells each are given half of the parent cell’s DNA‚ unlike in mitosis‚ where each daughter cell is given an exact copy. What is the metaphase plate and what purpose does it serve? The metaphase plate is an imaginary plane within the cell‚ on which the chromosomes line up. Once they are lined

INTRO Prader-Willi syndrome or PWS‚ is not a disease many people have knowledge about‚ or have even heard about it. Only about 1 in 25‚000 children are born with this rare syndrome. In 1956‚ Prader-Willi was first described by Andrea Prader‚ Heinrich Willi‚ and Alexis Labhart. Prader and Willi‚ both Swiss pediatricians‚ and Labhart‚ an internist‚ were the first people to publish a report on this syndrome (Nord‚ 2015). In the research‚ they described characteristics observed of the affected children
