genetics 2 Flashcards
is a consequence of one or two breaks and the loss of a chromosome segment, and may be either terminal or intercalary.
chromosomal deletion
occurs when there is a break and the loss of the terminal segment or two breaks and the reunion of the broken ends to form a ring.
terminal deletion
involve the loss of a chromosome segment between two breaks.
intercalary
involve addition of an extra segment to a chromosome, through abnormal replication or unequal crossing over in meiotic cells of the parent
duplication
this are less harmful and more common than deletions
duoplications
involves two breaks on a chromosome and the rotation of the broken segment prior to reunion of the broken ends, resulting in the reversal of a gene sequence.
inversion
in paracentric inversion, the centromere is included in the inverted segment, but for a pericentric inversion the centromere is not involved and is confined to one arm of the chromosome only
pericentric
paracentric
represent misdivision of the centromere and are always metacentric with identical but reversed gene sequence.
isochromes
Translocation occurs when a portion of one chromosome is attached to a homologous chromosome.
nonhomologous
is a result of an exchange between a segment of one chromosome and a segment of another chromosome
reciprocal translocation
reciprocal translocation is common in domestic animals
