The basic chromosome number x, also
called the ____________ is the number
of different chromosomes that make up a
single complete set
monoploid number
27
gene containing chromosomes that are
multiple of basic single set
EUPLOIDY

the variation in the chromosome number that
occurs due to increase or decrease of full
set of chromosomes
EUPLOIDY
29
the condition of an organism having
complete set of chromosomes or multiples of
the basic set is euploidy and the cell is said
to be euploid
EUPLOIDY
30
is lethal in most animal species, but
often tolerated in plants, where it has played
a role in specification and diversification
euploidy
31
same species/ same individual
autoploidy
32
same species/different individual
allploidy
33
- This is a condition where the chromosome
number is not an exact multiple of the
normal diploid number, with either fewer or
more than the normal number of
chromosomes in the cell
ANEUPLOIDY
34
- can result when either round of meiotic division lacks cytokinesis, or when meiotic
nondisjunction occurs for all chromosomes
-did not separate
Monoploidy and polyploidy
35
A gamete with 2 sets of chromosomes fused
with a normal gamete produces a
triploid (3N) zygote
36
Complete nondisjunction at meiosis produce
____________ with the normal chromosomes, and ________________
½ gametes
½ with no chromosome
37
Fusion of 2 gametes that each have 2 sets of
chromosomes produces a
tetraploid (4N) zygote
38
can result from mitotic nondisjunction of complete chromosome sets
Polyploidy of somatic cells
39
An individual that contains ½ the normal
number of chromosomes is a ____________
and exhibits ___________
monoploid
monoploidy
40
Some species such as bee, ants and male
bees are normally _____________ because they
developed from unfertilized eggs.
Consequently, these individuals will be
sterile
monoploid
41
are very rare in nature because
recessive lethal mutations become
unmasked, and thus they die before they are
detected
Monoploids
42
These alleles normally are not a problem in
diploids because their effects are masked by
dominant alleles in the genome
MONOPLOIDY
43
- Occurs in cells and organisms when there
are more than 2 homologous sets of
chromosomes
- Very common in plants
POLYPLOIDY

structural and numerical changes
- They are also called chromosomal mutations
chromosomal aberrations
54
Gross structural changes of chromosomes are
called
structural aberrations or
chromosome re-arrangements
55
Numerical changes are called
ploidy changes or numerical aberrations
56
are chromosomes involve in the gain, loss or relocation of chromosome
segments and genes
Structural changes
57
STRUCTURAL CHANGES are
o Intrachromosomal aberrations
(homosomal aberration)
o Interchromosomal aberrations
58
Chromosomal aberration are of 4 basic types
1. Deficiency or deletion
2. Duplication
3. Inversion
4. Translocation
59
▪ Loss of a chromosome segment, together
with the genes contains in it
DEFICIENCY OR DELETION
60
- loss of a terminal segment, with a single break in the chromosomes
- end part
Terminal deletion
61
- loss of an intercalary segment, with 2 breaks
- center
Intercalary deletion
62
- a segment is lost from both the chromosomes of a homologous pair
Homozygous deletion
63
- a segment is lot only from 1 of the 2 homologues
Heterozygous deletion
64
involves the loss of genes so they
have deleterious effect on organisms
Deletion
65
If the lost genes are crucial for viability,
___________________________ may result
sterile gametes or nonfunctional somatic
cells
66
- deletion of long arm of chromosome 21
- 9 part is lost
Granulocytic leukemia
67
- heterozygous deletion in the short arm of chromosome 5
Cri-du-chat syndrome
68
is the doubling or repetition of
chromosome segment during chromosome
__________
Duplication
69
a set of genes gets doubles
or repeated
Duplication
70
The extra set of genes in duplication is generally called
“repeat”
71
3 types of duplication
1. Tandem Duplication
2. Reverse Tandem Duplication
3. Displaced duplication
72
- the extra segment and the parent segment are next to each other and have the same order of genes
- repeated
Tandem Duplication
73
- the extra segment lies next to parent segment with reversed gene sequence
- nagbaliktad
Reverse Tandem Duplication
74
- the duplicate segment lies some distance away from the parent segment
- away
Displaced duplication
75
are more frequent and less
deleterious than deletions
Duplications
76
are believed to be important
raw materials of organic evolution
Duplications
77
affect the regulation of
gene activity and there by causes
phenotypic alterations which in turn
promotes speciation and evolution
Large duplications
78
* the reversal of the linear order of
a chromosome segment and its gene
sequence
Inversion
79
Believed to be occur in intercalary
segments-
intercalary inversion
80
involves the breakage of a chromosome segment an its subsequent re-insertion into the same location in a reversed orientation
Intercalary inversion
81
in this case 2 breaks occur in a
chromosome-
inversion points
82
- the rotation (180)
and reinsertion of an acentric segment
paracentric inversion
83
- the rotation (180)
and reinsertion of a centric segment
pericentric inversion
84
paracentric inversion is of two types
(i) Intraradial or homobranchial
inversion
(ii) Interradial or heterobranchial
inversion
85
- single inversion in one arm
Intraradial or homobranchial
inversion
86
- 2 inversions 1 in each arm
Interradial or heterobranchial
inversion
87
inversion that does not include centromere
paracentric inversion
88
inversion that includes centromere
pericentric inversion
89
- only 1 segment is inverted
Single inversions
90
- more than 1 segment
would be inverted
Complex inversions
91
- both the homologues are inverted
Homozygous inversion
92
- 2 homologue is un-inverted and its companion is inverted
heterozygous inversion
93
COMPLEX INVERSIONS
* Independent inversions
* Direct tandem inversions
* Reversed tandem inversions
* Included inversions
* Overlapping inversions
94
- Inversions occur in diff. regions of the
chromosome and they are separated from
1 another by un-inverted (normal) segment
independent inversions
95
- There are 2 or more inverted segments
which are directly adjacent to each other,
i.e., the inverted regions are not separated
by normal regions
Direct tandem inversions
96
- The 2 inverted segments are adjancent to
each other but their positions are mutually
interchanged i.e., g. the first segment lies
in place of the 2nd an vice versa
Reversed tandem inversions
97
- 1 inversion is confined with another
inversion, i.e., a segment within an inverted
segment is inverted again; as a result, the
2nd inverted segment possesses the normal
gene sequence for the concerned segment
Included inversions
98
- Such inversions have a common segment,
i.e., a part of an inverted chromosome
segment is inverted again together with an
adjacent segment which was not included
in the 1st inverted segment
Overlapping inversions
99
* Helps to retain the original gene combination
by reducing the crossing over frequency
INVERSION
100
enhances the position effect & there
by produces phenotypic changes
Inversion
101
causes chromosome polymorphism
with in a population leading to karyotype
evolution
Inversion
102
produces balanced gene complexes
(super genes) though reduction of crossing
over, which in turn confers greater biological
fitness and adaptability & increases the
evolutionary potentiality.
Inversion
103
is the re-organization of chromosomes through the transfer or change
in position of chromosome segments without
gain or loss of genes.
Translocation
104
– change in position of
a segment within a chromosome, either from
one arm to the other or from one location to
another in the same arm.
Intrachromosomal Translocation
(Chromosomal shift)
105
Intrachromosomal Translocation
(Chromosomal shift) –
o Intraradial
o Extraradial –
o Interchromosomal Translocation
o Transpositional Translocation
o Reciprocal Translocation
106
– translocation from one
location to another in the same arm
Intraradial
107
– translocation from one arm
to the other.
Extraradial
108
–Transfer of a segment from one
chromosome to other.
Interchromosomal Translocation
109
– one way transfer of a chromosome segment from one portion to another in the same
chromosome.
Transpositional Translocation
110
– mutual exchange of segments between two
chromosomes.
Reciprocal Translocation
111
– Mutual exchange between homologous chromosomes
Fraternal Translocation
112
– Mutual exchange
between non-homologous chromosomes
External Translocation
113
–intercalary incorporation of a chromosome
segment by transposition.
Intercalation or Insertional translocation
114
– Exchanged segments are
asymmetrical, produces a dicentric & an
acentric chromosome
Asymmetrical or Aneucentric
Translocation
115
–Exchanged segments are symmetrical,
produces two monocentric chromosomes.
Symmetrical or Eucentric Translocation
116
a segment from the orange (donor) chromosome is transferred to the purple (recipient) chromosome without any reciprocal
exchange.
insertional translocation
117
* Translocation which involves the transfer of a
whole chromosome arm.
WHOLE ARM TRANSLOCATION
118
– Two breaks in two acrocentric chromosomes. One break is in the short arm of a chromosome and the other one is in the long arm of the other chromosome. Their subsequent fusion results in a metacentric chromosome.
Centric Fusion
119
– It is the reverse process in
which a metacentric chromosome and a sub
metacentric chromosome give rise to two
acrocentric chromosomes.
Dissociation
120
– It is the end-to-end fusion
between an acrocentric chromosome and a
metacentric chromosome with the loss of a
centric segment. It produces a double length
acrocentric chromosome.
Tandem fusion
121
change the linkage relationships of the genes involved in the affected segments
Translocations & Inversions
122
results in unusual linkage,
reduced meiotic recombination, low
viability of chromosomes, familial patterns
of trisomy
Translocation
123
is an unbranched
structural abnormality in which the arms of
the chromosome are mirror images of
each other
ISOCHROMOSOME
124
is a structural rearranged chromosome generated either by a rearrangement involving two or more chromosomes or by multiple
aberrations within a single chromosome
derivative chromosome
125
- is a chromosome whose arms are fused together to form a ring
- A structurally abnormal chromosome in
which the end of ach chromosome arm
has been lost and the broken arms have
been reunited to form a ring.
ring chromosome
