Concept explainers

Genome annotation

The technique of linking biological information to genome sequences is termed genome annotation. Gene annotation is the method of identifying gene locations and coding sections. It helps us understand what these genes are doing in the body through establishing structural characteristics and linking them to the actions of various proteins.

Question

Hi, could your please answer this question? I'm so confused.

The following diagram (picture added) shows 2 pairs of autosomal chromosomes in a karyotype of a biological woman. Based on the karyotype, a genetic counselor determined that there is evidence that a translocation occurred between two non-homologous chromosomes. The other 21 pairs of chromosomes are NOT shown in this diagram. Assume no chromosomal aberrations occurred in the other chromosomes.

As a student-researcher, what would be your answer if the genetic counselor asks you if you can determine whether the translocation occurred in a somatic cell, germ-line cell, or whether this can even be determined from the figure? provide the reasoning for your answer.

Including the sex chromosomes, the chromosome number of a normal human cell is and the chromosome number of this Hela cell is - (Hint: Chromosome number is different from total chromosome count.) It appears that this Hela cell has extra copies of chromosome 16. Henrietta Lacks was female, so, naturally, all the cells from her derived cancerous cell line have chromosomes. This HeLa cell, interestingly, has copies of its sex chromosomes. What sex is the normal human karyotype displayed here? O Male O Female

B. A woman is a carrier of a Robertsonian translocation between chromosomes 18 and 21. (i) Her chromosome set with respect to chromosomes 18 and 21 would consist of which specific chromosomes. Please draw a DIAGRAM illustrating these chromosomes as they would appear in their unreplicated state, clearly labeling the chromosomes and the chromosome arms present. (ii) If this woman were to have a child with a man who possess a completely normal set of chromosomes, there are six different possible outcomes with respect to the combinations of chromosomes 18, 21, and Robertsonian translocation chromosome that could be present in their offspring. Please indicate the TYPES and NUMBERS of chromosomes of each type present in their potential offspring. You may label the chromosomes as follows: 18 (for chromosome 18), 21 (for chromosome 21) or 18/21 (for the Robertsonian translocation chromosome).

A young couple is planning to have children. Knowing that there have been a substantial number of stillbirths, miscarriages, and fertility problems on the husband’s side of the family, they see a genetic counselor. A chromosome analysis reveals that, whereas the woman has a normal karyotype, the man possesses only 45 chromosomes and is a carrier of a Robertsonian translocation between chromosomes 22 and 13. Q. List all the different types of gametes that might be produced by the man.
