1. A disease cause by a very small genetic change. Most cases result from the deleting of three bases in a gene for a protein called cystic fibrosis transmembrane changes which in a gene's DNA sequence can change proteins by altering their amino acid sequences which may affect one's phenotype.
2. It causes a mutation in the number of chromosomes, either extra chromosomes or missing chromosomes. Nondisjunction during meiosis can cause chromosomal disorders , such as a trisomy 21 (down syndrome) , Tuners syndrome , and Klinefelter's syndrome. It is a monosomy of the X sex chromosome.
Phenotype, physical appearance, is determined by the genotype, an organism's genetic makeup.
Answer:
monoallelic gene expression
Explanation:
<em>Monoallelic expression is a type of gene expression where only a copy out of the two copies of a gene is expressed and the other is silent. </em>
A gene is usually represented by two alleles representing alternate forms of the same character. Individuals inherit an allele each from their two parents for every gene within their genomes.
When only one of the alleles is expressed for a particular gene while the other allele remains silent, such phenomenon is referred to as monoallelic gene expression.
