Recombination4
  • The motor domain of FtsK is an active translocase in vitro , and, when incubated with XerCD and a supercoiled plasmid containing two dif sites, recombination occurs to give unlinked. (silverchair.com)
  • Specific regions along the short arms of chromosomes 13, 14, 15, 21, and 22 are remarkably similar, indicating that recombination is occurring between chromosomes of mismatched pairs (for example, chromosomes 13 and 14 are exchanging information). (stowers.org)
  • Thanks to the randomness of chromosome segregation and a process called recombination, siblings' genomes are not always 50 percent the same. (eogn.com)
  • Genetic recombination leads to rich diversity within populations of humans, animals, plants and even fungi. (sciencing.com)
Additional chromosome1
Portion of the chromosome1
  • When the chromosome's structure is altered, this can take several forms: Deletions: A portion of the chromosome is missing or has been deleted. (wikipedia.org)
Patau2
Resulting in three copies1
  • In Down syndrome, there is an additional copy of chromosome 21, resulting in three copies instead of the normal two copies. (mayoclinic.org)
Long arm of chromosome2
  • This indicates that an ancestral mammalian chromosome evolved into chromosome 16 in the tree shrew, and also the long arm of chromosome 10 in humans. (jove.com)
  • For example, the notation 7qtel refers to the end of the long arm of chromosome 7. (mymom.info)

Causes Down syndrome1
  • In particular, extra copies of chromosome 21 (trisomy-21) causes Down syndrome, a genetic defect that can result in abnormal physical and mental development. (dorthonion.com)
Trisomies5
  • SANCO test detects trisomies and monosomies of all 23 chromosome pairs as well as deletion and duplication syndromes of at least 7 million base pairs. (sancotest.pl)
  • Trisomies of chromosomes with other numbers cause severe fetal malformations, leading in most cases to miscarriages in the first trimester of pregnancy. (sancotest.pl)
  • Because having two active X chromosomes is lethal very early in development -- before a new embryo even implants into the uterine wall -- Migeon and her colleagues focused on autosomal trisomies. (sciencedaily.com)
  • The research team reported finding examples of trisomies in every chromosome in embryos that survived at least until later stages, except chromosomes 1 or 19. (sciencedaily.com)

Species9
  • During the course of evolution, species undergo random mutations, survive natural selection and evolve into several lineages all while mostly maintaining conserved syntenic blocks over many chromosomes. (jove.com)
  • These ancestral chromosomes would have undergone several rounds of chromosome rearrangement, fusion or breakage, facilitating diversity and speciation into the primate species of today. (jove.com)

(sciencedaily.com)
