Q

What is mosaicism?

A

Two or more different cell lines in one person.

Can occur after nondisjunction in meiosis during early embryonic development.

This results in one line of cells with a chromosomal aberration while other lines may stay unchanged.

Q

Robertsonian Translocation is common in what kind of chromosomes?

A

occur between chromosomes that have tiny short arms (acrocentrics)

105
Q

Why is there no obvious loss in genetic information in Robertsonian translocation?

A

because the short arms contain repeated rRNA genes

Q

Organism or cell has one or exact multiple of complete set(s) of chromosomes

A

EUPLOIDY

114
Q

Chromosome mutations may occur which results in variations of?

A

the number of individual chromosomes or in variation in complete sets of chromosomes.

115
Q

One or several chromosomes are lost from or added to the normal set of chromosomes.

A

ANEUPLOIDY

116
Q

ANEUPLOIDY is a result of?

A

Nondisjunction

117
Q

Loss or gain of single chromosome

A

Aneuploidy

118
Q

When can aneuploidies happen?

A

when a chromosome is lost during mitosis and meiosis due to loss of a centromere

when translocation causes the shrinking of the chromosome reddening it informationless

nondisjunction when cohesion fails to degrade during mitosis or meiosis

119
Q

4 types of aneuploidy?

A
  1. Nullisomy
  2. Monosomy
  3. Trisomy
  4. Tetrasomy
120
Q

loss of one homologous pair; 2N-2

A

Nullisomy

121
Q

involves a single extra chromosome; 2N+1

A

Trisomy

122
Q

involves a loss of a single chromosome; 2N-1

A

Monosomy

123
Q

involves an extra chromosome pair; 2N+2

A

Tetrasomy

124
Q

T or F: AN individual can only harbor one aneuploidy

A

F; you can have multiple but still have the same number of chromosomes but not normal/healthy

125
Q

T or F: There is a possibility of double trisomic individual

A

T

126
Q

Why are aneuploidies lethal in most species?

A

Because of changes in dosage of multiple genes

127
Q

Why is the X chromosome an exception of overdosage?

A

trisomy of X is well tolerated in females because of random inactivation (Barr bodies)

128
Q

Miscarried babies are due to?

A

Chromosomal mutations (aneuploidies)

129
Q

Why are most autosomal aneuploids spontaneously aborted?

A

Smaller chromosomes have fewer genes and less dosage problems, which tolerate aneuploidies better (causing trisomy 21)

130
Q

three copies of chromosome 21

A

Down Syndrome: Trisomy-21

131
