Sub sub type

A

Change in number or structure of chromosomes
Heteroploidy / genomatic mutation = change in chromosome no
Chromosomal aberration = change in structure of chromosome
Euploidy = change in no of sets of chromosome i,e either loss or addition of sets of chro
Mono Ploidy (x) +nce of 1 set chro , diploidy (2x)
Polyploidy +nce of more than two sets of chro

A

Change in no of chro in a set ,loss or addition of chro in set of chro
Hypoaneuploidy (losss) = monosomy ( 2n-1), double monosomy ( 2n-1-1 ) , nullisomy (2n-2)
Hyper aneuploidy ( addition ) = trisomy (2n+1) , double trisomy (2n+1+1),tetrasomy ( 2n+2)
Chromosomal nondisjunction means chro fail to separate during meiosis

22
Q

Chromosomal aberration =
Types
1
Subtype 1 = eg

A

Loss ( deletion ) or gain ( insertion / duplication ) of segment of dna
Deletion ,inversion , duplication ,translocation
Deletion=loss of part or segment of chrom which leads to loss of some genes
Terminal deletion loss from 1 or both ends
Eg cri- du -chat syndrome in short arm of 5 th chro
Intercalary deletion = loss b/w ends

23

Cancer cells
Chromosomes aberration
Type of chromosomal mutation

24
Q

Translocation ( chro aberration =
Type 1 eg
2 /
Exxx

A

A part of chro is broken and may be joined with non homo chro
Simple translocation 123456 - ABCDEF. 1234- ABCDEF56
Reciprocal translocation / illegitimate ( illegal crossing over )
123456 - ABCDEF. 1234EF = ABCD56
Chronic myeloid leukaemia (cml ) = blood cancer reciprocal translocation b/w 22 and 9 chro

25
Q

Gene mutation /
Two types
1 st type
Cause change in ,which leads to eg
Change may not occur some time cause

A

Point mutation = mutation arise due to change in sing,e base pair of dna
Substitution , frame shift mutation
Substitution = replacement of one n2 base by another
One codon in genetic code , change in one amino acid in structure of protein , sickle cell anemia
For one amino acid more than one type of codons are present

26
Q

Point , substitution type 1
2
Frame shift mutation/ =
Type 1,2
Due to frame shift mutation , so
Eg

A

Transition = purine to purine or pyrimidine to pyrimidine
Transversion = purine to pyrimidine or pyrimidine to purine
Gibberish mutation = addition of one or rarely more than one n2 bases
Addition / insertion , Deletion
Complete reading of genetic code is changed, fms&raquo_space;> substitution harmful

27
Q

NCERT frameshift mutation
Point
Mutagens ,ex
Mutation are and they
unit = , consists,

A

Insertion or deletion of one or two bases
3 or multiple of 3
Cause mutation 1non ionising radiation = Uv rays ,2 gamma rays
Recessive and they never eliminate from population =
muton = smallest part od dna which undergoes mutation , 1 mutation

28
Q

Mis semse mutation
Non semse mutation
Same sense mutation

A

Nucleotide change in genetic code cause the change of one amino acid
Nucleotide change in 1 one codon causes termination producing non sense codon
Change in one nucleotide in codon does not change amino acid

A

Do not code for any protein , large
Polymorphism ( variation) in a population
Polymorphism in homologous chromosome of an individual ,
In homologous pair one chromosome come from father and other chromosomes come from mother
Basis of dna fingerprinting

31
Q

Show same degree of polymorphism 1
2
Polymorphism mutation occur in coding part of DNA -> -> ->
Mutation occur in non coding part -> -> ->
Polymorphism arise due to

A

DNA from every tissue ( blood cells , hair follicle , skin,bone,saliva,sperm )
2 b/w monozygotic twins
Most of mutation lethal ,die can not transfer in next generation , mutation reject
Most of chance to survive , mutation transfer to next generation, mutation accepted
Mutation

32
Q

Polymorphism basis of ,,,,
Type of satellite dna basis
Sequence rich , no of pair repetition , also called
1
2,,,size

A

Genetic mapping of human genome, evolution , dna fingerprinting,speciation
Base composition , length of segment, no of repetitive units
1 micro satellite, A-T rich , 1 to 6 Bp , SSR ( simple sequence repeat )
2 mini satellite , G-C rich , 11 to 60 Bp,VNTR ( variable no of Tandem repeats
Size of vntr = 0.1 to 20 kb

33
Q

VNTR end +nst
Repetition no of VNTR vary in , so , except
_____ ______ variation has traditionally described as dna polymorphism
Reason

A

Palindromic sequence
Homologous chromosomes , DNA of all human being are slightly different, monozygotic twins
Allelic sequence variation,
if more than one variant (allele) at a locus occurs in human population with a frequency greater than 0.01

34
