Match the type of chromosomal mutation with the correct description
Question 4 options:
|
|
Answer =
Tetrasomy = gaining a homologous pair of chromosomes.
Monosomy = Missing a single chromosome
Trisomy =Having an extra chromosome.
allopolyploid =Having more than two complete sets of chromosomes where the sets come from different species.
inversion =chromosome segment orientation is changed so that the piece that was closest to one end of the chromosome is now closest to the other end.
autoployploid =having extra complete sets of chromosomes all coming from the same species.
nullisomy =missing both members of chromosomes.
translocation = switching of pieces of chromosomes between non homologous chromosomes
Explanation = there are different types chromosomal mutations are present:
monosomy - is a condition in which there is missing of a single chromosome.
example - cri-du-chat syndrome is caused by monosomy of chromosome 5.
Tetrasomy - presence of four copies , instead of the normal two.
trisomy - Having an extra chromosome.example -down syndrome caused by extra 21 chromosome.
nullisomy - a type of mutation in which there is missing of pair of homologous chromosomes.
inversion = is rearrangement in which a segment of chromosome is reversed end to end.
translocation - is type of mutation in which part of chromosome is transferred to another chromosome.
