Q

What are inversions?

A

linear order of a segment inverted 180 degrees: effects homologs pairing and crossing over in meiosis

17
Q

What are translocations?

A

exchange ions material between non-homologous chromosomes: reorganizing genetic material

18
Q

What are II Type Cell changes in structural Chromosome aberrations?

A

somatic aberrations: mitosis
germ cells: meiosis/inherited

19
Q

What are III extent structural chromosome aberrations?

A

both homologs: homozygous
one homolog: heterozygous

20
Q

What are fragile sites?

A

heritable loci on chromosomes that are visible gaps/breaks when cells are exposed to specific chemicals

21
Q

What are the two types of fragile sites?

A

Common: found in all individuals; not associated with diseases

Rare: in few individuals; associated with diseases
