Question 1

does dna or genes cause chromosomal abnormalities?

Accepted Answer

Chromosomal: Chromosomes are the packaging for the genes. Genes are made up of dna. Chromosomal abnormalities are extra chromosomes, deletions, duplications, or translocations of large chunks of dna.

Question 2

please explain proteins, dna, chromosomes in simple terms.?

Accepted Answer

Heredity to function: Dna, deoxyribonucleic acid is the basis of heredity and it passed from parent to child.  Chromosomes are the structures in which the dna is packaged.  Dna codes for proteins.  Proteins are made by cells by first transcribing the dna into RNA and then translating the latter to protein.  Proteins carry out the functions of life, e.g., structure of organs, muscles, hemoglobin, hormones, antibodies.

Question 3

what's the relationship between chromosomes, rna and dna?

Accepted Answer

Genetics.: Dna contains your genetic information (genes) coded by the chemical structure of the dna.  In cells of higher organisms, there are multiple strands of dna that are organized into structures with a sort of protein scaffold (chromosomes).  When the genes are "read", the information is translated into rna, a related chemical that is essentially a copy of a gene that is then processed to make proteins.

Question 4

had a reassurance us at 10w1d. was told by mfm that hb was good (am followed for rpl and factor v). awaiting free cell dna testing results. do chromosomal abnormal babies have different heart rates at 10 weeks? ie faster or slower than normal?

Accepted Answer

: too many acronyms. Please re-state without using any

Question 5

what is chromosome 13?

Accepted Answer

Chromosome 13: Chromosome 13 has genes that can be associated w breast cancer, bladder cancer, Hirschsprung’s dz, Schizophrenia,  Wilson’ Dz, some forms of deafness, Retinoblastoma and other conditions. If this is not the info you were interested in then please clarify &amp; re-ask.

Question 6

what happens when dna gets damaged?

Accepted Answer

Damaged  DNA: may be repaired by the body. DNA damage can lead to aging or development of disease state (such as cancer).

Question 7

what is the definition of dna forensics?

Accepted Answer

DNA forensics: DNA forensics =   technique used to identify individuals by characteristics of their deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) which can be used for legal purposes.

Question 8

what conditions and disabilities are linked to chromosome 17?

Accepted Answer

Multiple: Most commonly known include:
bladder and breast cancer
calcifications and cysts
charcot-marie-tooth disease
depression
ehlers-danlos syndrome
osteogenesis imperfecta
glycogen storage disease
neurofibromatosis type i
maturity onset diabetes of the young type 5
galactosemia

in addition there are multiple syndromes, disorders and deficiencies that are extremely rare.

Question 9

does hivcontain rna/dna?

Accepted Answer

yes: And it can be detected by testing for HIV rna.

Question 10

what is dna printing for?

Accepted Answer

Establish paternity: dna fingerprinting is a method of making images of dna sequences in order to study them . It has been used to solve criminal cases and in paternity disputes
