Question

4. Briefly compare/contrast euploidy & aneuploidy aneuploidy & polyploidy triploidy & trisomy (2 points) Given this sequence (of course the DNA is double stranded, but I'm only showing one strand), wil it tend to cause a deletion to form, or an inversion? Diagram how it (either the deletion or inversion) will happen. Figures 6.13 and 6.23 might be useful. xxxxxxxcatatgctttcag (another five hundred or so letters) catatgctttcagxxxxxxxxx (2 points) Ditto, using this sequence caseegstieassts oo len gactttcgtatacxxxxxxxxxxx

Explanation / Answer

Difference between euploidy and aneuploidy

Euploidy

Aneuploidy

1.

The whole set of chromosomes is gained or lost

One or more chromosome is gained or lost.

2.

Ploidy level is changed

Ploidy level remains the same

3.

AA --> A or AAA or AAAA

AA --> AA+1 or AA+2 or AA+1+1

4.

Example: Wheat, Triticum aestivum (2N = 6x = 42)

Example: Down syndrome (Trisomy of 21st chromosome) in humans.

No deletion or inversion in the DNA

No deletion or inversion in the DNA

Difference between aneuploidy and polyploidy

Aneuploidy

Polyploidy

1.

One or more chromosome is gained or lost.

The Whole set of chromosomes is gained.

2.

Ploidy level remains the same

Ploidy level increases

3.

AA --> AA+1 or AA+2 or AA+1+1

AA --> AAA or AAAA

4.

Example: Down syndrome (Trisomy of 21st chromosome) in humans.

Example: Wheat, Triticum aestivum (2N = 6x = 42)

No deletion or inversion in the DNA

No deletion or inversion in the DNA

Difference between euploidy and aneuploidy

Triploidy

Trisomy

1.

Three set of chromosomes

One chromosome is gained

2.

Ploidy level is triploid

Ploidy level is diploid with any one chromosome have three chromatids

3.

AAA

AA+1

4.

Example: Banana and seedless watermelons

Example: Down syndrome (Trisomy of 21st chromosome) in humans.

No deletion or inversion in the DNA

No deletion or inversion in the DNA

Euploidy

Aneuploidy

1.

The whole set of chromosomes is gained or lost

One or more chromosome is gained or lost.

2.

Ploidy level is changed

Ploidy level remains the same

3.

AA --> AA+1 or AA+2 or AA+1+1

4.

Example: Down syndrome (Trisomy of 21st chromosome) in humans.

No deletion or inversion in the DNA

No deletion or inversion in the DNA
