Gout is brought about deposition of solidified or crystallized uric acid sediments most commonly in the lower extremities brought about by increased levels of uric acid. An elderly patient (67 years old) previously diagnosed with gouty arthritis came in with a chief complaint of severe pain on the foot.

Gouty arthritis has 4 stages:
(1) Asymptomatic hyperuricemia
(2) Acute gout attack
(3) Intercritical gout
(4) Chronic tophaceous gout

Lower extremity examination of gout patients in in stages 2-3 will reveal edema, redness, and extreme of the involved foot. In stage 4 gout, along with edema, redness, and tenderness; there will be the presence of white to yellow deposits called tophus (plural; tophi) usually in the medial side of the big toe.

What effect would there be on the final daughter cell if the spindle fibers failed to pull a chromosome toward the pole, as in c
allochka39001 [22]

Aneuploidy can result in the final daughter cell if the spindle fibers fail to pull a chromosome toward the pole as in case of non-disjunction.  

Explanation:

Aneuploidy is a condition which arises when one or more chromosome is missing in the final daughter cells.

Non-disjunction refers to the failure of chromosomal or chromatid segregation or separation during cell division. This results in erroneous meiosis or mitosis leading to the formation of final daughter cells or gametes with an extra or missing chromosome. This condition is aneuploidy.  

Failure of separation or segregation of:

  • Homologous chromosomes occur in Anaphase I, affects four daughter cells.
  • Sister chromatids during Anaphase II, affects two daughter cells

This failure of separation leads to aneuploidy chromosomal abnormalities like monosomy, trisomy, etc which can cause diseases like Down’s syndrome, Turner’s syndrome etc.
