Response Details:
Most of Chromosomal alterations like addition deletion, inversion, polyploidy , duplication, translocation etc results in spontaneous abortion .
- In general, organisms need a balanced number of chromosomes: equal numbers of each chromosome. This condition is called “euploid”.But, the Chromosomal alterations leads to formation of trisomic,monosomy condition etc..,
- Having an extra chromosome (trisomic) or missing a chromosome (monosomic) is usually lethal. The chromosomes in this case are unbalanced, and not equal. This condition is called “aneuploid”.
- .Most diploids don’t survive as haploids, because they are usually heterozygous for recessive lethal alleles. Similarly, making an organism homozygous at most genes (through repeated matings between close relatives) is usually lethal.
- most of trisomies ,monosomies leads to formation a number of physical malformations and svere symtoms of neurological conditions like anenchaly,hydrocephaly gross analnomied of brain etc..,in the fetus
- Thus Chromosomal alterations often result in spontaneous abortion.
Example
Incompatible genetic constitution :
Trisomy condition like 47,xyy , +47,xy ,21+
45,x0, Catcry syndrome,hirschoff syndrome etc
92,xxyy
,47,xy,18+ Edward syndrome
47,xy,13+ pataus syndrome
Most of the above cases are eliminated as abortions
