Why are individuals with an extra chromosome 21, that causes Down syndrome, more numerous than individuals with an extrachromosome 3 or chromosome 16?
A.] There are probably more genes on chromosome 21 than on the others
B.] Chromosome 21 is a sex chromosome and chromosomes 3 and 16 are not
C.] Down syndrome is not more common, just more serious
D.] Extra copies of the other chromosomes are probably fatal

- Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is caused bya recessive mutant allele of an X-linked gene calleddystrophin. Rarely, females have disease symptomsas severe as those in males hemizygous for therecessive allele. These females are heterozygous forX-autosome reciprocal translocations where the Xchromosome breakage occurred in the middle of thedystrophin gene, breaking it into two pieces.a. If it is equally likely for X chromosome inactivation to spread from either of the X chromosomeinactivation centers (XICs; see Fig. 12.15) in thecells of this patient, what proportion of her cellswould you expect to have normal function of thedystrophin gene?arrow_forwardA person with cancer walks into the classroom. As a biology class, we ask if we can examine some of the cancerous cells and find that many of these cancerous cells have an extra chromosome 10 (trisomy) leading to more cyclin for forming the MPF being made, leading to uncontrollable cell division (i.e. tumor and progression to cancer). What would cause extra chromosomes in cells (be it somatic or gametic cells)? Select one: a. None of these choices are linked to how sister chromatids separate and would lead to extra chromosomes in daughter cells of cell division. b. APC not functioning correctly to add ubiquitin to the cohesins, thus sister chromatids do not split correctly during cell division c. MPF itself would cause more chromosome replication d. APC is overly functioning adding cohesins to the sister chromatidsarrow_forwardLocus heterogeneity refers to a genetic disorder thata. has a heterogeneous phenotype.b. is caused by mutations in two or more different genes.c. involves a structural change in multiple chromosomes.d. is inherited from both parents.arrow_forward
- Independent assortment means thata. two genes tend to be inherited together.b. which allele of a gene is included in a gamete has noeffect on which allele of a second gene is included in thesame gamete.c. which allele of a gene is included in a gametedetermines which allele of a second gene is included inthe same gamete.d. homologous chromosomes do not separate during meiosis.arrow_forwardHow many Barr bodies would you expect to find in humans withthe following abnormal compositions of sex chromosomes?A.
