U5 CHROMOSOMAL ABERRATIONS: INVERSION TO TRANSLOCATION Flashcards
Chromosomal mutations that results when a segment of a chromosome is excised and then reintegrated in an orientation 180 from the original orientation.
Inversion
For chromosomes to be excised, there should be what?
Double stranded breaks
Involves the centromere
Pericentric inversion
Does not involve centromere
Paracentric inversion
Abbreviations: inv
Inversion
Inversion between Human Chromosome 4 and Chimpanzee Chromosome 4
Pericentric inversion
Scientific term of Chimpanzees
Pan troglodytes
Molecular technique in Inversions
FISH
Effect of moving half of the gene to another part of the chromosome
Inactivation
Shifting of parts in chromosome
Position Effect
T/F: Position effect can lead to cancer.
True
What does heterozygous individuals require in meiosis for synapsis?
super-funky loops
De novo mutations that caused Brenden’s extreme height
HMGA2
Inverted chromosome in Brenden’s extreme height
Chromosome 12
Change in position of chromosome segments and gene sequences
Translocation
T/F: Translocations can be seen on karyotypes especially with non reciprocal translocation.
True
Change in position of chromosome segment within the same chromosome
Intrachromosomal
Transfer of chromosome segment from one chromosome into a non homologous chromosome
Interchromosomal
Non reciprocal translocation or one-way
Intrachromosomal
Translocations are usually non homologous except for?
Intrachromosomal
Abbreviations: T
Translocation
Abbreviations: Second set of parentheses in translocations
Precise location (p and q arm, bands)
Translocations that are more common, DNA is exchanged in both directions
Reciprocal Translocations
Translocations can also result in?
Position effect
