Infants born with Patau syndrome have an extra copy of chromosome 13, which leads to developmental abnormalities such as cleft lip and palate, small eyes, and extra fingers and toes. Another type of genetic disorder, Turner syndrome, results from the presence of only one sex chromosome—an X chromosome. Individuals born with one X chromosome are females exhibiting few noticeable defects until puberty, when they fail to develop normal breasts and internal sexual organs. what is more information about these genetic diseases on how they relate and differ? What are the meiotic events that could lead to the birth of an individual with either Patau syndrome or Turner syndrome as shown above?

Uniparental disomy (UPD) occurs when both chromosomes of a pair or areas from one chromosome in any individual have been inherited from a single parent. Since chromosomal numbers remain the same, cytogenetic analysis will not detect them. Hence, UPD disorders were not described until recently since molecular analysis is required to show that the two chromosomes originated from the same parent. Read recently published literature regarding UPD, and answer the following questions: What are the mechanisms that lead to UPD? Give at least 3 examples of UPD disorders and their clinical consequences: UPD Disorder OMIM # Locus Type of UPD Phenotype (include images) 1 2 3
People with Down syndrome have an extra copy of chromosome 21, for a total of 47 chromosomes. However, in a few cases of Down syndrome, 46 chromosomes are present. This total includes two normal-looking chromosomes 21, one normal chromosome 14, and a longer-than-normal chromosome 14. Interpret this observation. How can these individuals have 46 chromosomes?
which genetic disorder matches below descriptions. extra 21st chromosome attaches to chromosome 14. Affected individual exhibit epichanthic folds of eyelids, simian crease in palms, and mental retardation. trisomy 18 Affected individuas have an elongated skull, hair lip, cleft palate, rocker-bottom feet. Life expectancy is about 10 weeks. trisomy 21. Affected indiviudals exhibit epicanthic folds of eyelids, protruding tongue, small, low set ears, and retardation.
Cystic fibrosis is a recessive disease that affects many parts of the body, but primarily presents itself through difficulty breathing and through cysts in the pancreas. It is caused by mutations in the gene CFTR. What chromosome is the gene on?
What is a Barr body? How many Barr bodies in a person with genotype XXXXX? How is the structure of a Barr body different from that of other chromosomes in the cell? How does the structure of a Barr body affect gene expression? Color-blindness is an X-linked recessive trait. Heterozygous females are not color blind but they can sometimes have partial color blindness. Explain how this can occur.
Trisomy 21 is a genetic disorder that occurs when a patient has three copies of chromosome 21 in each cell. Which mutation would MOST likely result in a similar phenotype as trisomy 21?
Which of the following disorders in humans has an X-linked recessive inheritance pattern? a.Hutchinson-Gilford progeria b.Tay-Sachs disease c.Marfan syndrome d.Red-green color blindness Which of the following is described as a structural rearrangement of a chromosome in which a broken piece has become reattached in the wrong location? a.Duplication b.Translocation c.Inversion d.Deletion Which of the following disorders arises from translocation events? a.Huntington’s disease b.Infertility c.Burkitt lymphoma d.Duchenne muscular dystrophy
Men have XY (or YX) chromosomes and women have XX chromosomes. X-linked recessive genetic diseases (such as juvenile retinoschisis) occur when there is a defective X chromosome that occurs without a paired X chromosome that is not defective. Represent a defective X chromosome with lowercase x, so a child with the xY or Yx pair of chromosomes will have the disease and a child with XX or XY or YX or xX or Xx will not have the disease. Each parent contributes one of the chromosomes to the child. Complete parts a through d below. a. If a father has the defective x chromosome and the mother has good XX chromosomes, what is the probability that a son will inherit the disease? nothing (Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.) b. If a father has the defective x chromosome and the mother has good XX chromosomes, what is the probability that a daughter will inherit the disease? nothing (Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.) c. If a mother has one defective x…
crossing over within a pericentric inversion produces chromosomes that have extra copies of some genes and no copies of other genes. The fertilization of gametes containing chromosomes with duplications or deletions often result in children with syndromes characterized by developmental delay, intellectual disability, abnormal development of organ systems, and early death. Maarit Jaarola and colleagues examined individual sperm cells of a male who was heterozygous for a pericentric inversion on chromosome 8 and determined that crossing over took place within the pericentric inversion in 26% of the meiotic divisions (M. Jaarola, R. H. Martin, and T. Ashley. 1998. American Journal of Human Genetics 63:218–224). Assume that you are a genetic counselor and that a couple seeks counseling from you. Both the man and the woman are phenotypically normal, but the woman is heterozygous for a pericentric inversion on chromosome 8. The man is karyotypically normal. What is the probability that this…
Anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia is an X-linked recessive disorder in humans characterized by small teeth, no sweat glands, and sparse body hair. This trait is usually seen in men, but women who are heterozygous carriers of the trait often have irregular patches of skin with few or no sweat glands (see the illustration below). a. Explain why women who are heterozygous carriers of a recessive gene for anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia have irregular patches of skin lacking sweat glands. b. Why does the distribution of the patches of skin lacking sweat glands differ among the females depicted in the illustration, even between the identical twins?
the deletion of which chromosome causes obvious morphological and mental defects in the organism, such as microcephaly, strabismus, major mental retardation and is known as the 'cri-du-chat' syndrome?
Duchenne muscular dystrophy is an X-linked, recessive disorder in which muscles waste away early in life, resulting in death in the teens or twenties. A man and woman in their late thirties have five children—three boys (ages 1, 3, and 10 years) and two girls (ages 5 and 7 years). The oldest, boy shows symptoms of the disease. What are the probabilities that their other children will develop the disease? Give only typing answer with explanation and conclusion
