AQA A Level Biology復習筆記4.3.2 Mutations in Chromosome Number
Mutations in Chromosome Number
- Mutations can occur at different levels
- Non-disjunction?occurs when chromosomes fail to separate during?meiosis
- This occurs?spontaneously
- The gametes may end up with?one extra copy?of a particular chromosome or?no copies?of a particular chromosome
- These gametes will have a different number of chromosomes compared to the normal haploid number
- If the abnormal gametes take part in fertilization, then a?chromosome mutation?occurs as the diploid cell will have the incorrect number of chromosomes
- Chromosome mutations involve a?change in the number of chromosomes
- An example of chromosome mutation is Down’s syndrome: Individuals with this syndrome have a total of 47 chromosomes in their genome as they have three copies of chromosome 21
