ANAPHASE LAG




 Anaphase lag describes a delayed movement of chromosome or chromatid during anaphase.
 One homologous chromosome in meiosis or one chromatid in mitosis fails to connect to the spindle
apparatus and is lost without entering any of the daughter cell.
 The lagging chromosome is not incorporated into the nucleus of one of the daughter cells,
resulting in one normal daughter cell and one with monosomy.

Banking (ICSE Class 10 Mathematics Project)

BANK ACCOUNT A bank account is a financial account between a bank customer and a financial institution. A bank account can be a deposit account, a credit card, or any other type of account offered by a financial institution.

A bank links together customers that have capital deficits and customers with capital surplu...

KARYOTYPE

 A karyotype refers to a full set of chromosomes from an individual arranged according to length, position of centromere, banding pattern.  Karyotype is written as total number of chromosomes followed by sex chromosomes  Normal male karyotype: 46,XY, normal female karyotype: 46,XX  Chromosomes are classified into 7 groups and pasted accordingly- Group A- 1, 2, 3; group B- 4, 5; group C- 6-12, X; group D- 13, 14, 15; group E- 16, 17, 18; group F- 19, 20; group G- 21, 22, Y

X CHROMOSOME

X CHROMOSOME   The X chromosome is one of the two sex-determining chromosomes and is found in both males and females.  It is submetacentric chromosome classified under ‘C’ group chromosomes  Females have two X chromosomes, whereas males have one X and one Y chromosome.  Both males and females retain one of their mother's X chromosomes, and females retain their second X chromosome from their father.  Early in embryonic development in females, one of the two X chromosomes is randomly and permanently inactivated in nearly all somatic cells. This phenomenon is called X-inactivation or Lyonization. The inactive X- chromosome is tightly coiled and hence stains dark purple and is seen as Barr body within the nucleus of a female. The X chromosome is notably larger and has a more active euchromatin region.  Numerical alteration in Sex chromosomes result in abnormalities eg Turner’s syndrome (XO), Klinefelter’s syndrome (XXY) and Triple X syndrome (XXX).  , S...
