Which of the following would result in a phenotypically normal individual?
Robertsonian translocation
Deletion
Duplication
Isochromosome
Which of the following would describe a male with a balanced reciprocal translocation involving 3q and 17p?
44 Structurally normal chromosomes
An abnormal phenotype
No increased risk of miscarriage
1 structurally abnormal chromosome
A 4 month old female infant is not obtaining normal developmental milestones and has failure to thrive. Chromosome analysis reveals an abnormality; one copy of chromosome 21 has extra genetic material attached to the long arm. The origin of the extra material is not obvious. All other chromosomes appear normal. How would you interpret this finding?
She has down syndrome
She has a partial trisomy 21
This was inherited from one of her parents who has a balanced abnormal segregation.
The abnormality could be phenotypically mild.
A monosomy is worse than a trisomy.
A baby is born with only one chromosome 15 with the two q arms attached at one centromere. Which of the following most correctly describes the baby's condition.
An unbalanced structural mutation
Mosaicism for chromosome 15
Monosomy for chromosome 15
