Question
Examples of chromosomal mutations are ________.
Inversion.
Translocation.
Deletion.
All of the above.
Inversion.
Translocation.
Deletion.
All of the above.
The correct answer is: All of the above.
A chromosome mutation is an unpredictable change that occurs in a chromosome. These changes are most often brought on by problems that occur during meiosis (division process of gametes) or by mutagens (chemicals, radiation, etc.). Chromosome mutations can result in changes in the number of chromosomes in a cell or changes in the structure of a chromosome. Unlike a gene mutation which alters a single gene or larger segment of DNA on a chromosome, chromosome mutations change and impact the entire chromosome.

- ¶
- Chromosome mutations are alterations occurring in chromosomes that typically result from errors during nuclear division or from mutagens. ¶
- Chromosome mutations result in changes in chromosome structure or in cellular chromosome numbers. ¶
- Examples of structural chromosome mutations include translocations, deletions, duplications, inversions, and isochromosomes. ¶
- Abnormal chromosome numbers result from nondisjunction, or the failure of chromosomes to separate correctly during cell division. ¶
- Examples of conditions that result from abnormal chromosome numbers are Down syndrome and Turner syndrome. ¶
- Sex chromosome mutations occur on either the X or Y sex. ¶
¶The four main types of structural chromosomal aberrations are deletion, duplication, inversion, and translocation. Deletions occur when a portion of the chromosome is deleted, or taken out, which can make that chromosome less functional.

Cri-du-chat syndrome occurs as a result of?
Cri du chat syndrome is a rare genetic disorder caused by a missing section on a particular chromosome known as Chromosome 5. Sometimes, material from another chromosome is missing as well. Around one in every 50,000 or so babies is diagnosed with this disorder.
¶Cri du chat syndrome is a chromosomal disorder caused by a partial deletion (monosomy) of a varying length of the short arm (p) of chromosome 5. Chromosomes, which are present in the nucleus of human cells, carry the genetic information for each individual.
¶
¶Cri-du-chat syndrome is caused by a deletion of the end of the short (p) arm of chromosome 5. This chromosomal change is written as 5p-. The size of the deletion varies among affected individuals; studies suggest that larger deletions tend to result in more severe intellectual disability and developmental delay than smaller deletions.
