Is the Y chromosome really disappearing- let’s findout a scientific answer

12/10/2021

A single copy of the Y chromosome, dosage-sensitive gene sets and lack of recombination event may result in a genetic degeneration timely on the Y chromosome, possibly going extinct in the future, researchers suggest. Related article: Are YY Chromosomes Possible? The question on the existence of the Y chromosome parted scientific fraternity into separate opinions, […]

Chromosome 2: Genes, Abnormalities and Disorders

10/16/2021

Chromosome number 2 is among the 23 pairs of the human chromosome, a submetacentric chromosome with a length of 242, 193,529 bp in length having approximately 1767 coding genes. Present in a pair, the present set of chromosomes possesses a total of 8% of genomic DNA having 242 million bp DNA sequences on it. The

Importance of Metaphase Chromosomes in Karyotyping

08/28/2021

Metaphase chromosomes are often known as metaphase plates or “meta’s” only in technical terms, have significant importance in genetic research, especially in cytogenetics and karyotyping studies. Techniques like conventional karyotyping, FISH- fluorescence in situ hybridization and SKY highly rely on metaphases. And therefore good, well-separated and sharper metaphases have been the objective first achieved. Although

What is Missing Chromosome?

01/21/2021

An error in meiosis causes a change in the number of chromosomes in which sometimes a chromosome got missing causing a variety of health problems. Those are also known as missing chromosome disorders, for example, Turner syndrome. Numerical chromosomal abnormalities are significantly involved in varieties of health conditions due to loss or gain of genetic

What does it mean to have an Extra Chromosome?

01/21/2021

“An extra chromosome in our genome means a person or fetus has one additional chromosome with a pair besides 23 pairs and causes serious health issues.” ‘Chromosome’ is a common term in recent times, we know, it is the unit of inheritance or a place where the DNA is located. Scientifically, a network of histone

Are YY Chromosomes Possible?

01/21/2021

Two Y chromosomes are present in a chromosomal abnormality known as XYY or Jacob’s syndrome, however, only YY chromosomes in a genome aren’t reported to date. X and Y chromosomes are two genetic material repositories significantly important for humans. The Y chromosome is present in males while the X chromosome is present in males and

What is the Role of X and Y Chromosomes?

12/31/2020

The X and Y chromosomes are considered as “sex- chromosomes” or “allosomes” that help in deciding the sex of the fetus. X and Y chromosomes though are popular as sex chromosomes, do a lot more than that for us. In the present article, I will explain to you the structure of the X and Y
