X-Chromosome Inactivation
X-Chromosome Inactivation
• In female cells, one X chromosome is randomly switched off.
• This chromosome forms a dense region in the nucleus known as a Barr body.
• Barr bodies are generally not found in males because their single X chromosome is still active.

Chromosomal Disorders
Chromosomal Disorders
Sometimes things go wrong during meiosis when homologous chromosomes fail to separate.

Chromosomal Disorders
This is known as nondisjunction, which means, “not coming apart.”

Chromosomal Disorders
If nondisjunction occurs, abnormal numbers of chromosomes may find their way into gametes, and a disorder of chromosome numbers may result.

Nondisjunction: Occurs during Meiosis I.
Homologous chromosomes fail to separate.

Chromosomal Disorders
Down Syndrome
If two copies of an autosomal chromosome fail to separate during meiosis, an individual may be born with three copies of a chromosome.
Down syndrome involves three copies (AKA trisomy) of chromosome 21.

Chromosomal Disorders
Down syndrome produces mild to severe mental retardation.
It is characterized by:
• increased susceptibility to many diseases
• higher frequency of some birth defects

Chromosomal Disorders
Sex Chromosome Disorders
In females, nondisjunction can lead to Turner’s syndrome.
A female with Turner’s syndrome usually inherits only one X chromosome (karyotype 45,X).
Women with Turner’s syndrome are sterile.

Chromosomal Disorders
In males, nondisjunction causes Klinefelter’s syndrome (karyotype 47,XXY).
The extra X chromosome interferes with meiosis and usually prevents these individuals from reproducing.
