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.
The translocation of 254 black bears to the Ozark Mountains in Arkansas resulted in more than 2,500 individuals 11 years later and has been seen as one of the most successful translocations in order Carnivora. [33] Another example of successful translocation is the gray wolf translocation in Yellowstone National Park.
A Robertsonian translocation results when the long arms of two acrocentric chromosomes fuse at the centromere and the two short arms are lost. If, for example, the long arms of chromosomes 13 and 14 fuse, no significant genetic material is lost—and the person is completely normal in spite of the translocation.
The Philadelphia chromosome or Philadelphia translocation (Ph) is a specific genetic abnormality in chromosome 22 of leukemia cancer cells (particularly chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) cells). This chromosome is defective and unusually short because of reciprocal translocation , t(9;22)(q34;q11), of genetic material between chromosome 9 and ...
Translocation may refer to: Chromosomal translocation, a chromosome abnormality caused by rearrangement of parts Robertsonian translocation, a chromosomal rearrangement in pairs 13, 14, 15, 21, and 22; Nonreciprocal translocation, transfer of genes from one chromosome to another; PEP group translocation, a method used by bacteria for sugar uptake
There are two main types of translocations: Reciprocal translocation: Segments from two different chromosomes have been exchanged. Robertsonian translocation: An entire chromosome has attached to another at the centromere - in humans, these only occur with chromosomes 13, 14, 15, 21, and 22.
An example of translocation between two chromosomes. The SRY gene, normally found on the Y chromosome, plays an important role in sex determination by initiating testicular development. In about 80 percent of XX males, the SRY gene is present on one of the X chromosomes. [16] [25]
EC 7.2.1 Translocation of inorganic cations linked to oxidoreductase reactions; EC 7.2.2 Translocation of inorganic cations linked to the hydrolysis of a nucleoside triphosphate; EC 7.2.4 Translocation of inorganic cations linked to decarboxylation; An important translocase contained in this group is Na+/K+ pump, also known as EC 7.2.2.13.
