Mod 2 Flashcards
Errors resulting in Chromosomal abnormalities can occur in what?
mitosis-(somatic cell) Cell division in body cells other than the gametes.
meiosis-(sex cells) Reduction cell division in gametes that halves the number of chromosomes in each cell.
What is a karyotype?
karyotype-A picture of a cell’s chromosomes, arranged from largest to smallest pairs.
Chromosomal abnormalities are a major cause of reproductive loss, congenital problems, and gynecologic disorders in what % of newborns?
0.6%
Chromosomal abnormalities are a major cause of reproductive loss, congenital problems, and gynecologic disorders in what % of still births?
6%
Chromosomal abnormalities are a major cause of reproductive loss, congenital problems, and gynecologic disorders in what % of spontaneous abortions?
60%
explain autosomal abnormality
Abnormalities of chromosome number or structures of autosome chromosome (pair 1- 22) they result from unequal distribution of genetic material during the gamete formation (Down syndrome)
A cell with the correct or normal number of chromosomes within the cell is called?
euploid cell
what is a gamete?
Reproductive cell; in the female an ovum and in the male a spermatozoon.
what is monosomy?
it is the production of the union between a normal gamete and a gamete that is missing a chromosome
How many chromosome do monosomic individuals have?
45 chromosomes in each of their cells
How many chromosome do trisomic individuals have?
47 chromosomes in most or all of their cells
when does the vast majority of trisomies occur?
during oogenesis
what is oogenesis?
Formation of gametes (ova) in the female.
what is the most common trisomy abnormality?
Down syndrome
what is translocation?
Attachment of all or part of a chromosome to another chromosome.
what causes translocation?
exposure to certain drugs, viruses and radiation ( often for no reason)
What does GTPAL stand for?
- Gravita- number of pregnancies
- Term- term birth that’s are -carried past 37 weeks
- Preterm- preterm births delivered between 20 and 37 weeks
- Abortion/miscarriages- before 20 weeks SAB- spontaneous abortion EAB elected abortion
- Living-children at this time
How often will traditional prenatal care require?
Initial visit in the first trimester then monthly visit through week 28 after that ever 2 weeks until 36 weeks
