Q

When crossing over occurs, but the only viable offspring are recombinant. Usually occurs when crossing over occurs within the inversion, meaning inversion heterozygotes have reduced fertility

A

Adjacent-1

19
Q

A

Adjacent-2

20
Q

One of the three types of translocation in which two breaks occur on non-homologous chromosomes with reciprocal exchange between acrocentric chromosomes, results in the total number of chromosomes being reduced by 1

A

Robertsonian Translocation

21
Q

The number of chromosomes in a basic set of chromosomes

22
Q

When each organism contains multiples of the basic chromosome set

23
Q

The number of chromosome sets

24
Q

The number of chromosome present in gametes, always 1/2 the total number of chromosomes

25
Q

Incomplete sets of chromosomes, results from a change in the number of individual chromosomes

A

Aneuploidy

26
Q

A type of aneuploidy, 2n-2

27
Q

A type of aneuploidy, 2n-1

28
Q

A type of aneuploidy, 2n+1

29
Q

A type of aneuploidy, 2n+2

30
Q

When two homologous chromosomes or chromatids segregate to the same pole, can occur in meiosis 1 or meiosis 2

A

Nondisjunction

31
Q

A type of down syndrome (95% of cases) that results from nondisjunction during meiosis 1 in females

A

Primary Down Syndrome

32
Q

A type of down syndrome (5% of cases) that results from a Robertsonian translocation between chromosomes 14 and 21.

A

Familial Down Syndrome

33
Q

The basic chromosome number of a single, complete set of non-homologous chromosomes, not the same as n in polyploids

A

x (monoploid) number

34
Q

More than the normal number of complete sets of chromosomes, results from a rare genome doubling

A

Polyploidy

35
Q

3x polyploidy

36
Q

4x polyploidy

A

Tetraploid

37
Q

5x polyploidy

A

Pentaploid

38
Q

6x polyploidy

39
Q

Polyploids derived from a single species, results from nondisjunction during mitosis in 2n cells of an early embryo (autotetraploid) or nondisjunction during meiosis that produces a diploid gamete that is fertilized with a 1n gamete (autotriploid)

A

Autopolyploids

40
Q

Polyploids derived from two or more species, results from the union of haploid gametes from two different species followed by chromosome doubling

A

Allopolypoids
