Mutations in chromosome number
-
Mutations can occur at different levels, within chromosomes or at the genetic level
-
Chromosome mutations involve a change in the number of chromosomes and involve non-disjunction
-
Non-disjunction occurs when chromosomes fail to separate during meiosis
-
This occurs spontaneously
-
-
The gametes may end up with one extra copy of a particular chromosome or no copies of a particular chromosome
-
These gametes will have a different number of chromosomes compared to the normal haploid number
-
If the abnormal gametes take part in fertilisation, then a chromosome mutation occurs, as the resulting diploid cell will have the incorrect number of chromosomes
-
An example of a chromosome mutation is Down’s syndrome
-
Individuals with this syndrome have a total of 47 chromosomes (instead of 46) in their genome, as they have three copies of chromosome 21
