What to Focus On

  • Structural abnormalities affect chromosome arrangement.
  • Numerical abnormalities affect chromosome number.
  • Monosomy = 2n-1.
  • Deletion shortens a chromosome.
  • Duplication repeats a chromosome segment.
  • Inversion reverses a segment by 180 degrees.
  • A syndrome is a group of symptoms occurring together.
  • Down's syndrome is trisomy 21.
  • Klinefelter's syndrome is 47,XXY.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Monosomy and trisomy are forms of polyploidy.

Down syndrome, Klinefelter syndrome, and Turner syndrome are inherited from parents in a normal family pattern.
