Gene duplication Flashcards
1
Q
Definition?
A
Chromosomal abnormalities
2
Q
Inversion?
A
Chromosomal section reattaches upside down providing a reverse orientation.
3
Q
Deletions?
A
Deattachement of fragments that does not reattach to the original chromosome
4
Q
Duplication?
A
23 pairs carry the genetic information for the same traits. Similar but different alleles.
A part may break off due to radiation and attaches to a homologous chromosome - duplication
5
Q
Translocation?
A
Segments of a homologous pair breaks off and rejoins a non-homologous pair.
6
Q
Karyotype?
A
Description of all chromosomes found in an organism in a somatic cell.
7
Q
Aneuplody?
A
