Kleinfelter’s Syndrome is a syndrome that I find interesting. This syndrome affects males and is usually not diagnosed until around the age of puberty. In order to reach a diagnosis, a doctor may do a physical exam, get a health history and perform a karyotype. Kleinfelter’s syndrome occurs with the presence of extra X chromosomes in males. The extra X occurs when the egg or sperm splits unevenly. Even though this is considered a genetic syndrome, because of how it occurs, it cannot be passed on. There are three different ways that Kleinfelter’s may present.
The first, and most common way, is for the male to have an extra X chromosome in each cell. The second way is that the male may have more than one extra X chromosome per cell.
5. Males transmit their Y chromosome to their sons. This means that sons will not inherit an X-linked recessive condition from their father.
The patient whose chromosomes are organized on the Karyotype Worksheet #1, is a normal female as indicated by her XX sex chromosomes, with a total number of 46 chromosomes and her karyotype doesn’t exhibit any aneuploidy or structural errors.
The Change in Female Roles “In the late 1955, a quiet, courageous woman named Rosa Parks refused to give her seat to a white man on a crowded Montgomery city bus... In Montgomery, segregated city buses were a constant reminder of inequality”(Birmingham Civil Rights Institute). In the 1930’s, women were bound by strict expectations from society and treated as inferior by men, thankfully today, women are respected for their differences and valued for their independence. Calpurnia is a mother-like figure in Scout and Jem’s lives, and she is the role model who teaches Scout that being a woman can be a positive thing.
The presence of an extra chromosome is prevalent in plants but rare in animals. Diploid human cells contain 46 chromosomes, 44 autosomes and two sex chromosomes namely XX in females and XY in males. At mitotic metaphase, each of the chromosomes can be recognized by its size, shape and banding pattern. However, there could be non-disjunction of chromosomes during the process of meiosis, and as a result, one of the cells may receive an extra copy of the chromosome resulting in a condition called trisomy. One of the most common chromosome abnormality in humans is Down Syndrome, a condition associated with an extra chromosome 21. This condition was first described by British physician, Langdon Down (Web. Down Syndrome, n.d.).
Deletion of the pseudoautosomal region of one X chromosome. Address how this would affect males and females and
Kinefelter syndrome is a genetic condition that occurs in men as a result of an extra chromosome. The most common symptom is infertility. Humans have 46 chromosomes, which contains all of a person's DNA and genes. Two of which that determines a persons gender. Kinefelter syndrome is the result of one extra X written as XXY. Some of the cells in a male's body have an additional x chromosome. It is found in about 1 out of every 500-1,000 newborn males. The additional sex chromosome results from a random error during the formation of the egg or sperm. Women who have pregnancies after the age of 35 have a slightly increased chance of having a boy with this syndrome. Males who have Kinefelter syndrome may have the following symptoms: small firm
Many people affected by Klinefelter syndrome are at high risk of many different health issues, but if these risks can be reduced if signs are caught and treated early. High risk autoimmune disorders, which are disorders in which the immune cells attack the body, include rheumatoid arthritis, hypothyroidisms, lupus, and type 1 diabetes. High risk venous diseases include varicose veins, deep vein thrombosis, and pulmonary embolisms. Since affected males have such a high risk of these venous diseases, they should pay close attention to their weight, follow an adequate diet, avoid smoking, and exercise regularly. Tooth decay is a problem with Klinefelter-affected males since they usually have taurodontism, which is when teeth have shorter roots,
This is when a male is born with more then one X chromosome, and can be be found in varying amounts. Klinefelter's patients are fine until they reach puberty, which is where there testosterone levels decrease extremely. This can lead to sterilization, learning disabilities and emotional insecurities. There is no cure, but the children can see a speech therapists, as well as get monthly testosterone shots to development more normally. PKU is a genetic disease that is a rare metabolic disorder caused by a phenylalanine hydroxylase deficiency. It is an autosomal recessive disorder that is incurable, causes mental incapacity. There is no way to treat the patient completely, but they can stay on a specialized diet to prevent an increase in the mental instability. It effects the nervous systems and its creation of nerve cells and neurotransmitters in the brain. PKU varies in up to 400 types and affect every one in about 15,000 a year in the United States. The signs and symptoms are not relevant until about one year old. The most popular to test for PKU is using blood from a babies hell and the Guthrie bacterial inhibition assay. PKU is confirmed by the presence of bacteria growing on high concentration of PAH. Mothers must be extremely careful, because if too much PKU is in their diet they can cause brith disorders such as
Klinefelter syndrome is a genetic condition that results when a boy is born with an extra copy of the X chromosome. Klinefelter syndrome is a common genetic condition affecting only males. It mostly affects testicular growth, and this can result in smaller than normal testicles. This can lead to lower production of the sex hormone testosterone. Klinefelter syndrome may also cause reduced muscle mass, reduced body and facial hair, and enlarged breast tissue. The effects of Klinefelter syndrome affect every person differently, and not everyone with it develops the same signs and symptoms. Klinefelter syndrome often isn't diagnosed until adulthood. Most men with Klinefelter syndrome produce little or no sperm. But assisted reproductive procedures
Normally males have 46 chromosomes which include one X and one Y chromosomes, but males with XYY Syndrome have 47 chromosomes, two of which are Y chromosomes. Most cases of XYY Syndrome occur before conception due to a cell division error in the sperm. Rarely does the cell division error happen after conception.
The characteristics of and X-linked chromosome are that they are never passed from a father to his son, and that males get it more often than females.
When a child is born you're either a boy or a girl . girls get a X chromosome from your mom and dad . a boy gets an X chromosome from mom and Y from your dad . if a girl gets that bad X chromosome from the mom and a good one from the dad it will be ok but if you get a bad one from mom then a Y-chromosome from
Klinefelter's Syndrome is a genetic disorder that only affects men. Those affected are born with an extra X chromosome (Belts & Frey, 2006). In 1942, Dr. Harry Klinefelter released a study concerning nine men who had little to no facial hair, enlarged breasts, small testicles, and were unable to produce sperm. The name of this syndrome originated from Dr. Klinefelter's name (Kenny & Henderson, 2015). This disease is often abbreviated as KS or referred to as 47 XXY. It is referred to as 47 XXY because of the extra chromosome in patients (Schoenstadt, 2016).
Coaching is a powerful tool based on the use of one-to-one discussions to enhance an individual’s skills, knowledge or work performance. Coaching targets high performance and improvement at work and usually focuses on specific skills and goals, although it may also have an impact on an individual’s personal attributes. I have outlined a brief description of 2 coaching models GROW and OSCAR in Appendix 1.
104 men landed in Virginia in 1607 at a place they named Jamestown. This was the first permanent English settlement in the New World. Thirteen years later, 102 settlers aboard the Mayflower landed in Massachusetts at a place they named Plymouth. With these two colonies, English settlement in North America was born.
