23
Q

a triplet of one chromosome

24
Q

only one copy f one chromosome

25
zero copies of one chromosome
Nulisomy
26
four copies of one chromosome
Tetrasomy
27
Multiple of copies of all chromosomes
polyploidy
28
examples for polyploidy
3n, 4n, 10n etc
29
Robertsonian Translocation
look at assignment 1
30
does the body need to have a certain number of each protein inside
YES
31
what happens when one extra copy of a chromosome exists (trisomy)
the gene on the chromosome are transcribed and translated 1.5 times faster than they should be (3 chances instead of 2)
32
what happens with too much protein
processes can go awry
33
what will happen with monosomy
proteins are only made at 50% of the rate they should be
34
are most aneuploidies survivable
NO
35
what will happen to all embryos with nullisomy early in development
they will miscarry in earl development
36
are monosomies unsurvivable
yes, with two exceptions
37
exceptions to surviving monosomies
turner syndrome, cri du chat syndrome
38
what is considered the only true monosomy that is survivable
turner syndrome
39
what happens in turner syndrome
there is one X chromosome, and no Y chromosome
40
results of turner syndrome
short stature, typically infertility, webbed neck, typically normal intelligence
41
another name for cri du chat syndrome
5p minue syndrome 5th chrmosome minus 1 p arm
42
is cri du chat syndrome a true monosomy
no
43
what is missing in cri du chat syndrome
a portion of the short (p) arm of the 5th chromosome is missing
44
results of cri du chat syndrome
delayed development, mental retardation, heart defects, "cat-like cry"
45
exceptions to trisomies
- patau syndrome - edwards syndrome - down syndrome
46
pateau syndrome is a
trisomy 13
47
result of pateau syndrome
live birth achievable, death within 6 months
48
edwards syndrome is a
trisomy 18
49
result of edwards sydrome
live birth achievable, death within 6 months
50
down syndrome is a
trisomy 21
51
results of dow syndrome
mental impairment, flattened nose and slanted eyes, heart defects
52
which chromosomes are the least sensitive to abnormalities
sex chromosomes
53
examples of abnormalities from XX/XY that are seen in humans
``` XXX XXY XYY XXXX XXXY XXXXY ```
54
XXX
Triple X syndrome
55
XXY
Klinefelter syndrome
56
XYY
Jacob's syndrome
57
the XX/XY abnormalities are usually
survivable and do not have many effects on the person, but usually sterility
