if someone has Smith-Magenis Syndrome. Some other names for this disease are 17p syndrome and 17p11.2 monosomy. The reason for these names have to do with the cause of the syndrome. The cause of this syndrome is the deletion of the short arm of chromosome 17. The short arm is known as “p” hence the name 17p syndrome. Prenatal testing cannot discover this syndrome in a child because of it being completely sporadic. Sporadic means

These genes are located on the X chromosomes. A male who has a hemophilia gene on his X chromosome will have hemophilia (1).” When a female has a hemophilia gene on only one of her X chromosomes‚ she is a "hemophilia carrier” and can pass the gene to her children. “Sometimes carriers have low levels of clotting factor and have symptoms of hemophilia‚ including bleeding

E5 Down’s syndrome is a disorder caused by a fault of the chromosomes; the pieces of DNA containing the outline for the human body. Normally a person has two copies of each chromosome but a person with Down syndrome has three copies. The extra DNA produces the physical and mental sort of Down syndrome‚ which include a small head that is flattened in the back‚ slanted eye‚ extra skin folds at the corners of the eyes‚ small ears‚ nose and mouth‚ short height‚ small hands and feet and some degree

responsible for this condition is COL7A1.Mutations in this gene is the primary reason for epidermolysis bullosa. The official name of COL7A1 gene is Collagen‚ type VII‚ alpha 1. This gene is a single nucleotide variant. It is located specifically on chromosome 3: base pairs 48‚564‚072 to 48‚595‚301. COL7A1 is part of a family of gene known as collagen and also to fibronectin type III domain (Jarvikallio et al‚ 1997).

threads. Metaphase is the most distinctive of all stages of mitosis‚ because it is characterized by the regular arrangement of chromosomes at a central region called the metaphase plate. Now Anaphase beings as duplicate chromosomes separate‚ moving to opposite poles of the cell. Telophase is marked by the formation of a nuclear membrane around two daughter nuclei. Also chromosomes begin uncoiling and less distinct. Cytokinesis begins at this stage‚ which is shown with the development of a cell plate in
