  1. Notes: When Mistakes Occur Packet 7- Cell Reproduction Pg. 10-11

  2. The diagram to the right, called a karyotype, shows what the chromosomes look like when we stain them (which causes bands) and match them up according to size.

  3. From an adult, blood is often taken to get cells for a karyotype. For an unborn baby, two methods are used to get fetal cells: • Chorionic Villi Sampling (CVS)- take a piece of placenta • Amniocentesis (take amniotic fluid sample)

  4. The pair of chromosome that have the same length and banding pattern are called homologous pairs.

  5. The first 22 pairs of chromosomes are the non-sex chromosomes and are called autosomes. • Pair #1 is the shortest • Part #22 is the longest

  6. The last or 23rd pair of chromosomes differ in males and females and are called sex chromosomes. • Females have two of the same (large) chromosomes which are referred to by the symbols XX. • Males have two different chromosomes, one large called X and one small called the Y chromosome. Sex chromosomes

  7. When mistakes occur…. • Sometimes during meiosis pairs of chromosomes don't separate from each other. This non-separation is called nondisjunction. The end result is the production of an egg or sperm that has too many or too few chromosomes.

  8. Normal Division Nondisjunction

  9. Nondisjunction can occur with autosomes or sex chromosomes. • Trisomy is the formation of a zygote (offspring) with one extra chromosome. • In a human this would form a gamete with 24 chromosomes total. If it unites with a normal gamete (which would have 23 chromosomes) then there would be 47 total chromosomes. • The issues that arise will depend upon which chromosome has three copies. In Down Syndrome, there are three 21st chromosomes…a total of 47 chromosomes in every cell. • Monosomy is the formation of a zygote that is missing one chromosome.

  10. Usually zygotes with an abnormal number of chromosomes are miscarried (or aborted spontaneously by the body). However, if combinations are not lethal (deadly), the individual may survive to birth, but still be seriously affected.

  11. Normal Karyotype

  12. 46XY 46 XX

  13. Autosomes Sex Chromosomes

  14. Patau’s Syndrome

  15. Edward’s Syndrome

  16. Down’s Syndrome

  17. Turner’s Syndrome

  18. Triple X Syndrome

  19. Klinefelter’s Syndrome

  20. Jacob’s Symdrome

  21. Chromosomal makeup is written with: • Total number of chromosomes per cell • Followed by the symbols for the sex chromosomes in each cell • If there is a defective chromosome, it is identified by its number (in parenthesis)

  22. If you make a karyotype and the genetic diagnosis is: 46XY • Does the child have the correct number of chromosomes? • Yes • Is it male of female? • Male • If there is a problem, what is it? • No problem

  23. 46 XY

  24. If you make a karyotype and the genetic diagnosis is: 47 XX (18) • Does the child have the correct number of chromosomes? • No, one extra. • Is it male or female? • Female • If there is a problem, what is it? • Edwards Syndrome.

  25. 47 XX (18)
