  2. Chromosomal translocation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromosomal_translocation

    Chromosomal reciprocal translocation of the 4th and 20th chromosome. In genetics, chromosome translocation is a phenomenon that results in unusual rearrangement of chromosomes. This includes balanced and unbalanced translocation, with two main types: reciprocal, and Robertsonian translocation.

  3. Robertsonian translocation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robertsonian_translocation

    A Robertsonian translocation. The short arms of the chromosomes (shown on right) are often lost . Robertsonian translocation (ROB) is a chromosomal abnormality where the entire long arms of two different chromosomes become fused to each other. It is the most common form of chromosomal translocation in humans, affecting 1 out of every 1,000 ...

  4. Translocon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Translocon

    The translocon (also known as a translocator or translocation channel) is a complex of proteins associated with the translocation of polypeptides across membranes. [1] In eukaryotes the term translocon most commonly refers to the complex that transports nascent polypeptides with a targeting signal sequence into the interior (cisternal or lumenal) space of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) from ...

  5. Chromosomal rearrangement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromosomal_rearrangement

    Such changes may involve several different classes of events, like deletions, duplications, inversions, and translocations. Usually, these events are caused by a breakage in the DNA double helices at two different locations, followed by a rejoining of the broken ends to produce a new chromosomal arrangement of genes , different from the gene ...

  6. Phloem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phloem

    This transport process is called translocation. [2] In trees, the phloem is the innermost layer of the bark, hence the name, derived from the Ancient Greek word φλοιός (phloiós), meaning "bark". [3] [4] The term was introduced by Carl Nägeli in 1858. [5] [6] Different types of phloem can be distinguished. The early phloem formed in the ...

  7. Species translocation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Species_translocation

    Translocation can be an effective management strategy and important topic in conservation biology, but despite their popularity, translocations are a high‐cost endeavor with a history of failures. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] It may decrease the risk of extinction by increasing the range of a species, augmenting the numbers in a critical population, or ...

  8. G banding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G_banding

    The metaphase chromosomes are treated with trypsin (to partially digest the chromosome) and stained with Giemsa stain. Heterochromatic regions, which tend to be rich with adenine and thymine (AT-rich) DNA and relatively gene-poor, stain more darkly in G-banding.

  9. Genetics of Down syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetics_of_Down_syndrome

    The second, combined with a normal gamete from the other parent, gives rise to a typical child. The third leads to a translocation Down syndrome child. The last becomes a translocation carrier, like the parent. Translocation Down syndrome is often referred to as familial Down syndrome. It is the cause of about 4.5% of the observed Down ...
