Term
euploidy
Definition
multiple of 23 chromosomes
Term
what are the types of euploidy
Definition
haploid, diploid, triploid, tetraploidy
Term
what types of cells are haploid
Definition
gametes
Term
what types of cells are diploid
Definition
somatic
Term
what is diploid
Definition
46 chromosomes
Term
what is tetraploid
Definition
3x23 chromosomes
Term
how does tetraploidy happen
Definition
2 sperm fertilize one egg
Term
what are the symptoms of tetraploidy
Definition
usually spontanous abortion, some born live but die due to heart and CNS issues
Term
what is aneuploidy
Definition
derivation from euploidy number of chromosomes, loss or gain of chromosomes
Term
what is monosomy
Definition
one copy of specific chromosome
Term
what are the symproms of monosomy
Definition
lethal, unless caused by one sex chromosome
Term
what is trisomy
Definition
three copies of a chromosome
Term
what is the life expectancy of someone with autosomal and x-linked trisomy
Definition
can potentially survive, sex chromosome trisomy have more potential to be normal
Term
what does the body tolerate better: more or less genetic information
Definition
more
Term
do chromosomal abnormalities usually have a high life expectancy
Definition
no
Term
what causes monosomy or trisomy
Definition
nondisjunction in meiosis 1 or 2
Term
what can increase the odds of monosomy or trisomy
Definition
age, the tipping point is approx age 35
Term
what chromosome numbers are there in the cells that are the final product of non dysjunction in meiosis 1
Definition
2 cells with n+1 chromosomes
Term
what chromosome numbers are there in the cells that are the final product of non dysjunction in meiosis 2
Definition
2 normal cells, 1 cell with n+1
Term
why does nondysjunction changes increase with age
Definition
egg cells are stuck in prophase 1 until ovulation, the chromosomes become more adherent to eachother and less likley to disconnect
Term
what is the symbol for a normal karyotype
Definition
46XX or 46XY
Term
what is the karyotype for trisomy 21
Definition
47XX+21 or 47XY+21
Term
what is the most common autosomal trisomy
Definition
trisomy 21
Term
what is the most common genetic cause of mental retardation
Definition
trisomy 21
Term
what are the symptoms of trisomy 21
Definition
short stature, flat profile, upward slanting of the eyes, depressed nasal bridge, upper eye lids sags, displastic ears, congential heart defects, respitory infections, abnormal immune system, increased lukemia risk, early alzhimers
Term
what is another name for trisomy 18
Definition
edwards syndrome
Term
what is the karyotype for edwards syndrome
Definition
47XX+18 or 47XY+18
Term
what are the symptoms of trisomy 18
Definition
predominent occiput, small mouth and ears, small babies, rocker bottom feet, clenched fists, overlaping fingers, congenital heart problems, organ defects
Term
what is another name for trisomy 13
Definition
patu syndrome
Term
what is the karyotype for patu syndrome
Definition
47XX+13 or 47Xy+14
Term
what are the symptoms of trisomy 13
Definition
oral facal cleft, small eyes, polydactyly, congenital heart defects, organ defects
Term
in sex chromosome aneuploidy what must there at the least be to survive
Definition
one x chromosome
Term
what is usually more severs, sex chromosome anruploidy or autosome aneuploidy
Definition
sex chromosome
Term
what is the karyotype of klinefelters
Definition
47XXY
Term
what are the symptoms of klinefelters
Definition
atrophy of seminal tubules, small testis, long arms and legs, decreased secondary sex characteristics, gynecomastia (brests), decreased IQ
Term
what determines the severity of klinefelters
Definition
radio of estrogen to testosterone
Term
what is the karyotype of tunder syndrome, the most common one
Definition
45X
Term
describe the variations in chromosomes / karyotypes that turner syndrome has
Definition
some have 1 X, some have 1 X with missing parts, some have mosacis
Term
what is mosacis
Definition
a combination of 46XX in some cells and 45X in others
Term
what are the symptomes of turner syndrome
Definition
short, webbed neck, widly spaced nipples, lymphedema of ankles and wrists, broad chest, sterility due to 45X
Term
what are te symptoms of a 47XYY
Definition
normal mostly but tall, social issues prone to hyperactivity, lower IQ
Term
what are the symptoms of 47XXX
Definition
essentially normal, almost never diagnosed, increased chance of psycharitic problems like schizophrenia
Term
what is a structural chromosome abnormality
Definition
missing, added or switched piece of a chromosome
