Q

In what chromosomes is Mosaicism common?

A

17
Q

Ring Chromosome

A

Breaks at each end of a chromosome with fusion of the remaining ends to form a ring

18
Q

2 types of Inversion?

A

Paracentric

Pericentric

19
Q

Paracentric Inversion?

A

Inversion of 2 pieces on 1 arm of the chromosome

20
Q

Pericentric Inversion?

A

Inversion of 2 pieces on opposite arms of chromosome

21
Q

Isochromsome

A

1 arm of chromosome is lost

= 2 short or 2 long arms ONLY

22
Q

Balanced Reciprocal Translocation

A

Single breaks in 2 chromosomes that perfectly exchange material
= NO LOSS OF MATERIAL

23
Q

Is there loss of material with Balanced Reciprocal Translocation?

24
Q

Balanced Reciprocal Translocations have a ___ phenotype, but?

A

Normal

= Increased risk of producing abnormal gametes

25
Q

Robertsonian Translocation

A

Translocation between 2 chromosomes, breaks appear really close to centromere
= 1 large chromosome and 1 small that is lost

26
Q

End result of a Robertsonian Translocation?

A

1 large chromosome and 1 small one that is usually lost

27
Q

What chromosomal disease can occur via Robertsonian Translocation?

A

Trisomy 21
