Alterations of Chromosome Structure A deletion occurs when a chromosome fragment lacking a centromere is lost during cell division. This chromosome will be missing certain genes. A duplication occurs when a fragment becomes attached as an extra segment to a sister chromatid.

Alterations of Chromosome Structure Chromosomal translocations between nonhomologous chromosome are also associated with human disorders. Chromosomal translocations have been implicated in certain cancers, including chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). CML occurs when a fragment of chromosome 22 switches places with a small fragment from the tip of chromosome 9. Normal chromosome 9 Reciprocal translocation Translocated chromosome 9 Philadelphia chromosome Normal chromosome 22 Translocated chromosome 22 http://www.antigenics.com/diseases/images/philly_chrom.gif

Alterations of Chromosome Structure An inversion occurs when a chromosomal fragment reattaches to the original chromosome but in the reverse orientation. In translocation, a chromosomal fragment joins a nonhomologous chromosome.

Nondisjunction Normal Meiosis Enduring understanding 3.C: The processing of genetic information is imperfect and is a source of genetic variation. Essential knowledge 3.C.1: Changes in genotype can result in changes in phenotype. c. Errors in mitosis or meiosis can result in changes in phenotype. Evidence of student learning is a demonstrated understanding of each of the following: 2. Changes in chromosome number often result in human disorders with developmental limitations, including Trisomy 21 (Down syndrome) and XO (Turner syndrome). [See also 3.A.2, 3.A.3] Nondisjunction Normal Meiosis http://web.udl.es/usuaris/e4650869/docencia/gen_etica/meioferti2.html http://www.tokyo-med.ac.jp/genet/anm/domov.gif

Nondisjunction – Failure of homologous chromosomes OR chromatids to separate at anaphase

Nondisjunction Results in ANEUPLOIDY = one or more chromosomes have extra or missing copies AFTER FERTILIZATION: Cell with only 1 copy of a chromosome instead of 2 = MONOSOMY Cell with 3 copies of a chromosome instead of 2 = TRISOMY

Down syndrome (Trisomy 21) Most common chromosomal abnormality (1 in 800 births) Similar facial features Slanted eyes / Protruding tongue Mild to severe mental retardation 50% have heart defects that need surgery to repair http://www.hadsa.org/ Both older (35+ years) and younger (under 16 years) mothers are more at risk. http://www.healthofchildren.com/images/gech_0001_0002_0_img0096.jpg

Some individuals with Down syndrome have the normal number of chromosomes but have all or part of a third chromosome 21 attached to another chromosome by translocation. http://content.answers.com/main/content/wp/en/thumb/f/f5/180px-Down_syndrome_translocation.png

Turner syndrome (X0) 1 in 5000 births http://medgen.genetics.utah.edu/photographs/diseases/high/611.gif 1 in 5000 births Females have only one X chromosome Small size Broad chest Slightly decreased intelligence 35% have heart abnormalities Hearing loss common Reproductive organs don’t develop at puberty

Klinefelter syndrome 1 in 2000 births live births http://www.akdeniz.edu.tr/tip/histoloji/embrders_dosyalar/slide0228_image1186.jpg Klinefelter syndrome 1 in 2000 births live births Males have extra X chromosomes (Can be XXy, XXXy, or XXXXy) Taller than average Normal intelligence have male sex organs, but are sterile. may be feminine characteristics, Often not discovered until puberty when don’t mature like peers Presence of BARR BODIES

POLYPLOIDY Organisms with more than two complete sets of chromosomes Can occur when a normal gamete fertilizes another gamete in which there has been nondisjunction of all its chromosomes. Results in triploid (3n) zygote OR if 2n zygote fails to divide after replicating its chromosomes Results in a tetraploid (4n) embryo Copyright © 2002 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings

If having extra chromosomes causes genetic problems, how come having two X chromosomes in females and one X in males is not a problem?

X-chromosome Inactivation In female cells ONE X chromosome is randomly switched off It condenses and forms a dense region in the nucleus called a BARR BODY http://fig.cox.miami.edu/~cmallery/150/gene/barr.htm

CAT COLOR In cats the gene that controls color is carried on the X chromosome Tortoiseshell cats express different alleles in different cells http://www.eagle.ca/~roda/RodMerArts/SwallowHill/Kiisu.html FEMALE CATS: Female cat can have BOTH black and orange spots See a video http://www.islandstrolling.com/mainland/peloponnes/photo/mystra_cat_white_orange_black.jpg

CAT COLOR MALE cats have only one X chromosome, so they can only have http://ascensionparish.net/forum/messages/14/2493.jpg MALE cats have only one X chromosome, so they can only have ONE COLOR of spots!

Fragile X syndrome, which leads to various degrees of mental retardation, also appears to be subject to genomic imprinting. This disorder is named for an abnormal X chromosome in which the tip hangs on by a thin thread of DNA. This disorder affects one in every 1,500 males and one in every 2,500 females. Inheritance of fragile X is complex, but the syndrome is more common when the abnormal chromosome is inherited from the mother. This is consistent with the higher frequency in males. Imprinting by the mother somehow causes it.

EXTRANUCLEAR GENES The inheritance of traits controlled by genes present in the chloroplasts or mitochondria Depends solely on the maternal parent because the zygote’s cytoplasm comes from the egg EX: Variegated leaves result from mutations in pigment genes located in plastids inherited from mother Image from Biology; Campbell and Reece; Pearson Prentice Hall publishing as Benjamin Cummings © 2005

EXTRANUCLEAR GENES Some diseases affecting the muscular and nervous systems are caused by defects in mitochondrial genes that prevent cells from making enough ATP http://www.ncl.ac.uk/nnp/research/mrg/advice/inheritance.htm

MITOCHONDRIAL DISEASES are RARE Accumulation of mitochondrial mutations may play role in aging process, diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer’s EX: mitochondrial myopathy- weakness, intolerance of exercise muscle deterioration http://employees.csbsju.edu/hjakubowski/classes/ch331/oxphos/mitochondria.gif
