  1. MistakesinMeiosis

  2. Nondisjunction • The failure of homologous chromosomes to separate properly during meiosis. What should happen Nondisjunction

  3. The results • If the abnormal gametes is fertilized the results

  4. Polyploidy • the condition where cells have multiple sets of chromosomes • usually 3-4 sets • Most often found in plants, rare in animals

  5. Examples of Polyploidy Diploid & tetraploid many plants Octoploidy strawberries Triploid seedless watermelon

  6. Trisomy • The zygote has an extra chromosome • Organisms with an extra chromosome sometimes survive

  7. Examples of trisomy in humans • Trisomy 21: Downs Syndrome • Trisomy 18: Edwards syndrome • Trisomy 13: Patau syndrome • XXY: Klinefelter's syndrome

  8. Monosomy • The zygote is lacking a chromosome • Organisms lacking one or more chromosomes rarely survive

  9. Examples of monosomy in humans Monosomy X: Turners Syndrome

  10. Human Karyotype

  11. Karyotype Lab • You will assess a human karyotype and write a letter to explain the chromosomal abnormality to the patient and patient’s family. • You will submit your letter via TurnItIn.com
