Match the definitions to the appropriate terms that describe the number of chromosomes. Triploid Trisomic n = 3 one extra copy of a specific chromosome three homologues of each chromosome a genome composed of three unique chromosomes Answer Bank
Answer
ploidy is used to show the number of sets of homologous
chromosomes, if one cell is haploid it has only one set of
chromosomes if the number of chromosomes in one set is 3, then the
ploidy of the cell can be represented as n=3,
if the number of sets of the chromosome is 2 then the individual
is diploid and has 2 copies of each homologous chromosomes, and a
triploid individual has 3 sets of the homologous chromosome, that
is for every chromosome there are 3 copies per cell.
Trisomy is an aneuploidy condition, aneuploidy is the change in
the number of chromosomes, monosomy means one chromosome is less
than normal, and trisomy means one chromosome is extra compared to
the normal.
Triploid Trisomic n = 3 three homologues of each chromosome one extra copy of a specific chromosome a genome composed of three unique chromosomes
