Cells of the body are either haploid or diploid, depending on what type of cell they are. The difference between the two is the total number of chromosomes in the cell.Answer and Explanation: The haploid number of chromosomes in a chimpanzee is 24 because the diploid number is 48. All ...
The purpose of this inactivation is “dosage compensation” [16]. Because males have only one X chromosome, every gene on that chromosome must be fully capable of producing the effects it is designed for, and if both X chromosomes were functional in females, they would receive a “double ...
Genetics The evolutionary significance of copy number variation in the human and chimpanzee genomes ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY PerryGeorge HerbertHuman genetic diversity was long thought to be comprised primarily of single nucleotide polymorphisms, such as a G to T base pair mutation. However, it has ...

The proportion of CNVRs on a given chromosome varies from 11.3% on chromosome 14 to 44% on chromosome 12, with the mean proportion of 19.8% on average for all chromosomes. Our P value-based CNV analysis using the Affymetrix reference set (P < 0.001) showed that CNVRs were uniformly ...
In the fat line, CNVRs ranged from 0.33 to 1442.99 kb, with a mean of 163.43 kb and median of 99.81 kb. CNVR locations and characteristics across all 28 autosomal and the Z sex chromosomes were summarized (Figure 1, Additional file 2: Table S2, Additional file 3: Table S3). It is ...
of genetic information that were present in either of their parents' chromosomes. Second, theextentof CNV and its association with disease has led human geneticists to consider an alternate paradigm for the genetic basis of human diseases. Instead of considering disease to be largely the result of...
During eukaryotic cell division, chromosomes must be distributed correctly into daughter cells. Improper chromosome segregation results in cell death or aneuploidy, which is the cause of such disor- ders as Down's Syndrome, Cornelia de Lange syn- drome, and tumorigenesis (Pati et al., 2002; ...
The range of the number of the CAG repeats is 13-14 in macaques, 16 in mangabey and 14-20 in chimpanzees. Variant CAA or AAG triplets in the CAG repeat tracts were found in all 268 human, 28 monkey and 32 chimpanzee chromosomes. As reported in a previous study [Kawaguchi et al. (...
The CNVRs were distributed throughout all 12 rice chromosomes (Figure3; Additional file5: Table S5). The length of CNVRs differed significantly among different chromosomes, and the percentage of entire chromosomes susceptible to CNVRs ranged from 1.07% on chromosome 3 to 5.78% on chromosome 11....
