Female Male 46,XX 46,XY Human chromosomal abnormalities may be numerical or structural. Numerical Trisomy = 3 copies of a single chromosome 47 Monosomy = 1 copy of a single chromosome 45 Triploidy = 3N 69 Tetraploidy = 4N 92 Structural Deletion Duplication Translocation (involves 2 chromosomes) Total # chromosomes / cell
Chromosomal abnormalities manifest themselves in two ways 1)Spontaneous abortions 50% of human pregnancies--> spontaneous abortion or miscarriage nearly all during first trimester of pregnancy, with many during the first month, when pregnancy is recognized only y hormonal assays 50% of spontaneously aborted embryos and fetuses have chromosomal abnormalities Therefore 25% of all human embryos have chromosomal abnormalities

Trisomy 21 Down Syndrome Numerical chromosomal disorders are the result of nondisjunction= failure of chromosomes to separate normally during cell division Nondisjunction can occur during meiosis(before fertilization) or mitosis(after fertilization) How could you figure out whether nondisjunction for chromosome 21 had occurred during meiosis or mitosis?

SSR 21.1 ABCD SSR212/8 D What can you conclude? At least two things 1. The presence in the affected child of two different maternal alleles for ssr 21.1 indicates that nondisjunction occurred before fertilization (in meiosis )in the mother 2. There has been recombination between the two chromosome 21's in the mother prior to nondisjunction
