Presentation Transcript


  1. Chromosomal Mutations & their effects

  2. Karyotype • A picture of the chromosomes of an individual or a species, including number, form, and size of the chromosomes. • Often used to diagnosis chromosomal abnormalities.

  3. Chromosomes • Humans have 23 pairs • 22 pairs are autosomes • 1 pair are sex chromosomes • (women = XX, men = XY) • Chromosomes have a centromere that holds the chromatids (two parts of the chromosome) together. • The top ½ of the chromosome is called the “p” arm and the bottom ½ is “q”

  4. Nondisjunction Disorder • Nondisjunction is the failure of chromosome pairs to separate during meiosis (making of gametes – sex cells) • it can cause some gametes to gain an extra chromosome and others to lose one • Monosomy = A chromosome having no homologue (matching chromosome) • Trisomy =The condition of having three copies of a given chromosome in each somatic (body) cell rather than the normal number of two.

  5. Normal Male Karyotype Normal Female Karyotype

  6. Turners Syndrome 1 in 5,000 births 45 chromosomes X only #23 MonosomyNondisjunction

  7. Turners Syndrome 96-98% do not survive to birth No menstruation No breast development No hips Broad shoulders and neck
