Concept explainers
To identify: The chromosome that is involved in ovarian cancer, Tay–Sachs disease, and spinocerebellar ataxia.
Introduction: Chromosomes are long thread-like structures that carry coded genetic information in the form of genes. This genetic material is inherited from one generation to the successive generation by a successful sexual reproduction. The chromosome in a cell occurs in pairs (autosomes), and every species has a specific number of chromosomes in their cell. Any defect in size or number of these chromosomes gives rise to several chromosomal disorders.
