A miscarried fetus has primary Trisomy 16 (3 separate chromosome 16's). The chromosome 16's of the fetus, mother, and father were tested for a common polymorphism involving this chromosome. Four types of polymorphisms commonly occur in the population: A, B, C, and D. The results were: fetus = ABC, mother = AB, father = CD. When and where did the mis-segregation (non-disjunction) event causing trisomy 16 in the fetus most likely occur?

Solutions

Expert Solution

Four types of polymorphisms were found in chromosome 16 trisomy as A, B, C and D. Fetus had the ABC polymorphism while mother and father had AB and CD respectively. The fetus contain two pairs from mother and one pair from father. So, non disjunction of chromosomes could have occurred in the anaphase II stage of meiosis during the development of ovum.

The most common form of Down syndrome is known as Trisomy 21, which is when chromosome number 21 receives an extra copy through nondisjunction. This leads to each cell having a total of 47 chromosomes, and while people living with Down syndrome lead long, happy lives, they can experience abnormalities in their physical growth, cognitive capabilities, and are sometimes at greater risk in terms of health. Which cell checkpoint in the cell cycle would need to malfunction for nondisjunction to...
