The human Y chromosome
Chromosome Rearrangements
duplications
deletions
Inversions
translocations
Looping out of duplicated chromosome allows homologous regions to pair.

Duplications can be produced by unequal crossing over.
Normal gene dosage
Duplications can lead to problems, sometimes due to abnormal gene dosage.Not completely understood.
Deletions

Mechanisms for formation of deletions and inversions
1. Legitimate recombination: between similar DNA sequences= THE most common type of recombination
A. Intrachromosomal recombination between repeats oriented in the same direction deletion.
B. Intrachromosomal recombination between inverted repeats inversion.
2. Illegitimate recombination: between DNA sequences with only a few nucleotides of sequence similarity
3. Other mechanisms (including movement of transposons)
Phenotypic Effects of Inversions
--no loss or gain of genetic material
--What (if any) phenotypic effects could they have?

Possible phenotypic Effects
--Inversion may break gene into two parts.
--Position effect: the position of many genes on chromosome effects their regulation. Inversions can cause inappropriate expression patterns.
What happens during meiotic prophase I?
X =
Chromosome pairing when heterozygous for a paracentric inversion
This paracentric loop structure is one way to detect invesions.

dicentric chromatid
acentric chromatid During anaphase I the dicentric chromosome
will break.The acentric chromosome may be lost.
What will happen to inversion heterozygotes showing recombination outside the inversion?
Chromosome pairing when heterozygous for a pericentric inversion

Summary: Inversions
In heterozygotes, inverted region loops out when homologous chromosomes pair in meiosis I.
Can have phenotypic effects--may break genes in two--may have position effects
Observed recombination is reduced because of the production of nonviable gametes.
Translocations
--Movement of genetic material between nonhomologous chromosomes.
--How is this different from normal crossing over?

Translocations
Two types:--Nonreciprocal translocation:one way transfer of genetic material.
-- Reciprocal translocation:two way exchange of genetic material (more common).
Phenotypic Effects of Translocations
--New linkage relationships established which may effect gene expression= Position Effect.
--Chromosomal breaks may occur wthin a gene.Can use to map genes.Ex: Neurofibromatosis
Robertsonian Translocation
--Long arms of two acrocentric chromosomes translocated to a produce a metacentric chromosome.
--Smaller chromosome may be lost.
two nonhomologous,nontranslocated chromosomes
two chromosomes with reciprocal translocations
If Heterozygous for a Reciprocal Translocation
What happens during prophase I?

Cross structure: one way to detect translocations
What happens to homologous chromosomes in anaphase I?
Segregation is normally controlled by the homologous centromeres
Segregation can occur in three ways.
About ½ of segregations occuring give nonviable gametes due to either extra copies, or no copies of some genes

Summary: Translocations
--Recombination between nonhomologous chromosomes-May involve legitimate recombination or nonlegitimate recombination.
--Cross structure formed in heterozygotes in meiosis I.
--Can have phenotypic effects-break genes in two-position effects
--Nonviable gametes can be produced by some types of segregation
Human Evolution: Inversions and translocations
--Several human chromosomes differ from chimpanzees by only a pericentric inversion.
--Chimps, gorillas, orangutans all have 48 chromosomes, humans: 46.
-May be from a Robertsonian translocation in a human ancestor.
Aneuploidy: change in the number of individual chromosomes.
Polyploidy: change in number of chromosome sets.

Generation of Aneuploids
--Chromosome lost during mitosis or meiosis.Ex: centromere deleted
--Small chromosomes generated by Robertsonian translocations, then lost.
--Nondisjunction
Nondisjunction at different cell divisions.
Types of Aneuploids
--Nullisomy: loss of both members of a homologous pair
--Monosomy: loss of a single chromosome
--Trisomy: gain of a single chromosome
--Tetrasomy: gain of two homologous chromosomes
Phenotypic Effects of Aneuploidy
--Most are lethal because of changes in gene dosage(or have profound phenotypic effects)
--Exception: sex chromosomes in mammalsWhy less lethal?All but one X in humans is inactivated.Y chromosome is teeny-weeny.

Aneuploidy in Humans
Trisomy 21: Down Syndrome Incidence of Down syndrome increases drastically with maternal age
Polyploidy:multiples of chromosome sets are present
Whole sets of chromosomes fail to separate in either mitosis or meiosis
Autopolyploidy: extra chromosome sets from the same species.
Allopolyploidy: chromosome sets from two species.
A major mechanism of speciation in plants

If a chromosome set in a polyploid does not have homologs infertile.
