Question about turner syndrome??
Question: would the diagnosis of Turner's syndrome in a single cell necessarily mean that every cell of the body would contain 45 chromosomes? explain your answer.
Answers: The first answer is incorrect. While turner is a genetic disease (resulting from one X chromosome and no Y) it can have mosaic expression. This means that some cells in a person's body can have a normal 46 chromosomes while others have 45. It depends on when the defect happened. If it happened when the embryo was a single cell, then every cell will have the defect. If it happens later, say when there are 8 cells, but only in one cell, then all the cells descended from the 45 chromosome cell will have the same, while the others are normal.
no . some cells may 45 chromosome's, others could have the second x chromosome as normal and some cells may have only part of the x missing....... this would be Mosaic turner Syndrome
Yes, Turner's is a genetic illness that starts when the sperm hits the egg, so all cells come from that first fertilized cell.
