caused by a mutation in one gene called monogenic disorder‚ by mutations in multiple genes called multifactorial inheritance disorder‚ by a combination of gene mutations and environmental factors‚ or by damage to chromosomes when there is changes in the number or structure of entire chromosome. History Schizophrenia has been around since 1851 the disease was referred to as “Folie Circulaire.” It was not until 1911 when the actual term “schizophrenia” was used to identify the disease.

process of mitosis or meiosis is gone through‚ has the same number of chromosomes. Each of the sister chromatids separate in anaphase in mitosis and anaphase two in meiosis since there are two major sets of phases in meiosis. This makes anaphase in mitosis very similar to anaphase two in meiosis. Meiosis two in meiosis is also very similar to mitosis. Also‚ when these processes have finally ended‚ they will form no homologous chromosomes in any of the new cells that have been formed. On the other hand

their differences and similarities‚ they’re just here for one solemnly purpose‚ to serve whatever type of organism they are present in. A Prokaryotic cell does not have a nucleus present. It is a single celled organism that usually only has one chromosome. This type of cell does not have a cytoskeleton. DNA is present and is circular with no protein‚ the DNA is not surrounded by a nuclear membrane. A Prokaryotic cell is smaller compared to a Eukaryotic cell‚ the average size is 1- 10 micrometers

However‚ there are several methods to prevent the spread of the disease. Gaucher’s disease is caused by damage to the glucocerebrosidase gene on chromosome 1. The disease is autosomal recessive‚ meaning the trait must be inherited from both parents (Mayo Clinic). Therefore‚ two carriers have a 50% chance of their child being a carrier‚ and a 25% chance of having a child with the disease. Luckily‚ there

Things such as missing a part of a chromosome or having an extra chromosome can cause birth defects (Shiel 1). Birth defects could also have other causes that are environmental. The environmental causes of birth defects could happen if the pregnant woman had taken any drugs or alcohol and if the pregnant
