from chromosome 13. The chromosomal condition is often associated with a severe intellectual disability and several physical abnormalities. Patau’s occurs in about 1 in 16‚000 infants. Women of all ages have a chance of giving birth to a child with this condition‚ but the risk increases as the woman gets older. Trisomy 13 is caused by the nondisjunction of chromosomes during meiosis and sometimes translocation‚ the rearrangement of genetic material between chromosome 13 and another chromosome. Individuals

You should label your work and include a list of 2-3 events that are taking place during each of the phases of mitosis. You will also want to include the total number of chromosomes in the parent and daughter cells.

inherited disease that causes progressive damage to the nervous system resulting in things like gait disturbance‚ speech problems‚ heart disease and diabetes. Friedreich’s ataxia is caused by a defect in a gene called Frataxin‚ which is located on chromosome 9. The changes in this gene cause the body to produce too much trinucleotide repeat (GAA). This mutation causes gene silencing through induction of a heterochromatin structure in a manner similar to position-effect variegation. Normally‚ the body
Premium Genetic disorder Genetics Disease
the most common genetic disorder affecting more than 5‚000 babies born in the United States each year. This syndrome occurs when one chromosome has an extra “part‚” an error occurs in cell division‚ or an extra chromosome exists resulting in 47 chromosomes. Most people are born with 23 pairs of chromosomes‚ for a total of 46. When the body produces an extra chromosome or genetic material‚ it alters the way the body develops. How is the health of a baby born with Down syndrome affected? Babies with

Cri-du-chat syndrome is an autosomal deletion syndrome caused by a partial deletion of chromosome 5p and is characterized by a distinctive‚ high-pitched‚ catlike cry in infancy with growth failure‚ microcephaly‚ facial abnormalities‚ and mental retardation throughout

human genetics. Research has proven that humans and dolphins have more in common than they thought they have. An experiment from Texas A&M University tried to apply human chromosomes with the dolphin chromosomes‚ and they have discovered that out of the 22 dolphins 13 dolphin chromosomes were similar to human chromosomes. They have also found 3 other genes that was similar to human genes. There has been many studies of dolphins and up to this moment scientists still wonder how humans and

and cytokinesis. In prophase‚ chromatin condenses and the nucleoli disappears. What we know as chromosomes‚ which consist of two identical sister chromatids joined together at centromers‚ begin to appear. Mitotic spindle is formed and the centromers start moving to opposite poles‚ propelled by the lengthening microtubules that they shoot out. In metaphase‚ the longest stage of mitosis‚ the chromosomes line up on the metaphase plate and the centromeres have already migrated to opposite poles.

genes on the same chromosome are close together‚ they may be inherited as a single unit. For example‚ in fruit flies the genes determining the eye color and wing length are inherited together. This is called a linkage group. 2) Sex-linked inheritance‚ also deviates from Mendel’s idea of the Law of Independent Assortment‚ because sometimes‚ the X chromosome can also have linked to it the gene for hemophilia or color-blindness.
