twice

34
Q

what are the main 5 chromosomal mutations

A

deltions, inversion, translocation , non disjunction, duplication

35
Q

what happens in deletions

A

piece of chromosome is ost due to breakage

36
Q

what happens ininversion

A

chromosome segment breaks off, segment flips around backwards, segment reataches backwards

37
Q

what happens in duplication

A

makes it longer when a gene sequence is repeated

38
Q

what happens in translocation

A

two chromosomes that aren’t homologous cross over

39
Q

what happens in non disjunction

A

failure of chromosome separating that result in gametes having too many or too little chromosomes

40
Q

what are examples of disorders caused by non-disjunction

A

down syndrome, turner syndrome, klein felter’s syndrome
