- Genes with highly similar sequence are often located adjacent one another in the genome. Gene duplication commonly arises from errors in replication. When the organization of such adjacent genes is in an inverted orientation, this can reduce the expression of other genes that have similar sequence and are located on other chromosomes. Explain the mechanism of how this generally occurs. Please state the answer in details: what is the mechanism? How it happens? Why this happens? When it happens? And every other necessary information.arrow_forwarddescribe a specific example of chromosome abnormality that leads to human cancers, such as leukemia, other than the Philadelphia chromosome that is derived from the translocation of chromosome 9 and 22arrow_forwardDistinguish between a chromosomal deletion and duplication.arrow_forward

The girl is absolutely healthy. The examination of the boy's karyotype has shown 46 chromosomes. But one of the chromosomes of the 15th pair is longer than normal as a part of a chromosome from the 21st pair has joined it. How many autosomes and sex chromosomes are in the boy's karyotype?
