If a centromere probe is used in FISH analysis how many spots will light up in the cells of an individual with trisomy 21?
1 answer:
Answer:
There will be three spots that will light up.
Explanation:
There is a research paper published which demonstrated the trisomy of 21 chromosome. They found out that there are total three spots that light up in Trisomy 21 (down's syndrome's fetus). I have attached picture from research paper and provided the reference below.
