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?
Variations in Chromosome NumberAneuploidy Describe the process of nondisjunction and explain when it takes place during cell division.
Individuals with trisomy 21 are more likely to survive to adulthood than individuals with trisomy 18. Based on what you know about aneuploidies from this module, what can you hypothesize about chromosomes 21 and 18?
Human sex chromosomes are XX for females and XY for males. a. With respect to an X-linked gene, how many different types of gametes can a male produce? b. If a female is homozygous for an X-linked allele, how many different types of gametes can she produce with respect to this allele? c. If a female is heterozygous for an X-linked allele, how many different types of gametes can she produce with respect to this allele?
We are following the progress of human chromosome 1 during meiosis. At the end of prophase I, how many chromosomes, chromatids, and centromeres are present to ensure that chromosome 1 faithfully traverses meiosis?
Two phenotypically unaffected parents produce two children with familial Down syndrome. Regarding chromosome 14 and 21, what are the chromosomal composition of the parents?
Two phenotypically unaffected parents produce two children withfamilial Down syndrome. With regard to chromosomes 14 and 21,what are the chromosomal compositions of the parents?
A phenotypically normal woman has an abnormally structured chromosome 2, along with a normal homologue. She marries a phenotypically normal man with an abnormally structured chromosome 16 and a normal homologue. What is the probability of their child will have an abnormal chromosome 2 and 16? What is the probability that this child, having inherited both abnormal chromosomes, will now pass both abnormal chromosomes to its children?
A woman with an abnormally long chromosome 13 (and a normalhomolog of chromosome 13) has children with a man with anabnormally short chromosome 11 (and a normal homolog of chromosome 11). What is the probability of producing an offspringthat will have both a long chromosome 13 and a short chromosome11? If such a child is produced, what is the probability that thischild will eventually pass both abnormal chromosomes to one ofhis or her offspring?
Two phenotypically normal parents produce a phenotypically abnormal child in which chromosome 5 is missing part of its long arm but has a piece of chromosome 7 attached to it. The child also has one normal copy of chromosome 5 and two normal copies of chromosome 7. With regard to chromosomes 5 and 7, what do you think are the chromosomal compositions of the parents? Would it most likely be reciprocal translocation? It wouldn't be simple translocation because then the child would have the entirety of one chromosome and only some of the other, but in this case, there is only partial chromosome 5 and chromosome 7?
A normal mother has translocations on chromosomes 14:21. With respect to chromosomes 14:21, how many combinations of chromosomes are possible? How many gametes are viable? If the woman has children with an normal father, what is the probability that there is a daughter with Down Syndrome or a son with an unaffected phenotype?
A man who is a carrier of a translocated 15/21 chromosome marries a genotypically normal woman. (1). Show the possible gametes that will be formed by this man if the translocated 15/21 chromosome synapses with chromosome 21 at Prophase I. (2). What is the probability that the first child of the couple will be a phenotypically normal girl? (3). What is the probability that the first child of the couple will be a genetically normal boy?
