4.2.4 Explain that non-disjunction can lead to changes in chromosome number
概要
TLDRThis video elaborates on the concept of nondisjunction in meiosis, emphasizing its occurrence during anaphase 1 and anaphase 2. In meiosis 1, homologous chromosomes may fail to separate, resulting in daughter cells with either an extra or a missing chromosome. In meiosis 2, sister chromatids may similarly fail to separate. If this nondisjunction happens with chromosome 21, it can lead to gametes with an abnormal number of these chromosomes. Fertilization of such gametes may produce a zygote with three copies of chromosome 21, leading to Down syndrome, which can be confirmed through karyotype analysis to detect the presence of trisomy 21.
収穫
- 🧬 Nondisjunction is the failure to separate chromosomes during meiosis.
- 📉 Occurs in anaphase 1 or anaphase 2 of meiosis.
- 🔄 Anaphase 1 results in one daughter cell with an extra chromosome (n+1) and another with one less (n-1).
- 🔄 Anaphase 2 results in one extra chromosome, one less, and two normal cells.
- 👶 Nondisjunction of chromosome 21 can cause Down syndrome.
- 🧬 Down syndrome results from three copies of chromosome 21 (trisomy 21).
- 🧪 Identified through karyotype analysis.

Nondisjunction is the failure of chromosomes to separate during meiosis, specifically during anaphase I of meiosis I and anaphase II of meiosis II. In anaphase I, homologous chromosomes fail to separate, leading to daughter cells with either an extra chromosome (n + 1) or one less (n - 1). In anaphase II, sister chromatids do not separate, resulting in one cell with n + 1, one with n - 1, and two with the normal number of chromosomes. If nondisjunction affects chromosome 21, it can produce gametes with extra copies, potentially resulting in Down syndrome when fertilization occurs with a normal gamete. This condition can be identified by a karyotype showing three copies of chromosome 21 (trisomy 21) and indicates the individual's sex.

ビデオQ&A
What is nondisjunction?
Nondisjunction refers to the failure to separate homologous pairs of chromosomes or sister chromatids during meiosis.
Where does nondisjunction occur in meiosis?
Nondisjunction can occur during anaphase 1 of meiosis 1 or anaphase 2 of meiosis 2.
What can result from nondisjunction in meiosis?
Nondisjunction can lead to gametes with extra or missing chromosomes, potentially resulting in genetic disorders.
What does Down syndrome result from?
Down syndrome results from having three copies of chromosome 21, known as trisomy 21.
How can Down syndrome be identified?
Down syndrome can be identified by examining karyotypes for three copies of chromosome 21.
