What is the difference between a single gene disorder, multifactorial disorder and a chromosomal abnormality?

1 answer:

5 0

There are approximately 25,000 genes contained on the 46 chromosomes in each cell of the human body. This means that one chromosome contains thousands of genes. A person can have normal chromosomes in number and structure, but still have a disease or condition caused by a mutation in one or more of the genes on the chromosomes. A single gene defect usually does not cause the chromosome structure or number to be abnormal. Similarly, a person can have normal genes; however, if the person has extra copies of genes due to a chromosome abnormality, then those extra copies can cause the genes to not work properly.

The answer to your question is either drawbridge or scaffolding. I want to go with drawbridge because it has support and stands of for itself, so its similar to a stucture if that makes sense.
