In this article we will discuss about the translocation in humans. Interchanges are the most common structural chromosome changes reported in human. Partial sterility in interchange heterozygotes is infrequent due to the production of balanced gametes and as a result, interchanges in human are identifiable only through the analysis of karyotype, usually coupled with chromosome banding patterns. Various kinds of [...]
The following points highlight the top eight aspects of reciprocal translocation in genetics. The aspects are: 1. Chromosome Pairing 2. Orientation of the Quadruple at Ml 3. Sterility in Interchange Heterozygotes 4. Crossing Over in the Interchange Heterozygotes 5. Detection of Interchanges 6. Isolation of Homozygous Interchange Lines and a few others. Aspects of Reciprocal Translocations Chromosome Pairing Orientation of [...]
The following points highlight the top fifteen uses of translocation in genetics. The uses are: 1. Study of chromosome behaviour during meiosis 2. Assignment of centromere position 3. Interchanges as genetic markers 4. Determination of unknown locus of a gene and chromosome mapping 5. Association of linkage groups or genes to specific chromosomes and a Few Others. Uses of Translocation [...]
