Mutation
 Mutation is a permanent change of the nucleotide sequence of the human genome elements.
 Mutations result from damage to DNA which is not repaired or to RNA genomes (typically caused
by radiation or chemical mutagens), errors in the process of replication, or from the insertion or
deletion of segments of DNA by mobile genetic elements. 
 Mutations may or may not produce discernible changes in the observable characteristics
(phenotype) of an organism.
 Mutations play a part in both normal and abnormal biological processes including:
 evolution, cancer, and the development of the immune system, including junctional diversity.
 Mutation can result in several different types of change in sequences.
 Mutations in genes can either have no effect, alter the product of a gene, or prevent the gene
from functioning properly or completely.

WALL OF THORAX-Anatomy Notes

1 WALL OF THORAX DESCRIBE COURSE, BRANCHES AND DISTRIBUTION OF TYPICAL INTERCOSTAL NERVE (LE). There are 12 thoracic spinal nerves. The 3 rd  to 6th nerves lie in typical intercostal spaces between typical ribs. They are confined to the thoracic wall. Formation: The thoracic spinal nerve is formed by anterior and posterior roots, which arises from the anterior and posterior horns of spinal cord respectively. The anterior and posterior roots join together to form the trunk. The trunk divides into anterior and posterior rami. The anterior ramus forms the intercostal nerve. Course: The nerve passes through the respective intervertebral foramen and appears in the posterior part of the intercostal spaces. On reaching the angle of the upper rib, the trunk of the nerve passes forwards along the costal groove between intercostalis internus and intimus muscle. Intercostal nerves runs in the costal groove and ends near the sternum. 2 In the costal groove...

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
