A structural mutation where a segment of a chromosome is reversed end to end.

An inversion that includes the centromere, affecting both arms of the chromosome.

An inversion that does not include the centromere, affecting only one arm of the chromosome.

Chromosome 9 is one of the 23 human chromosomes, often involved in inversions.

Inversions usually do not disrupt gene function, especially near the centromere.

Inversions can lead to unbalanced gametes, affecting fertility or offspring health.

A laboratory method to visualize chromosomes for structural abnormalities.

A rare structural mutation where extra DNA is inserted into a chromosome.

Genetic rearrangements occurring during meiosis I can disrupt sperm production.

Condition characterized by a low sperm count in males.

Structure formed during meiosis where chromosomes pair and exchange genetic material.

Type of chromosome segregation producing 4 viable gametes during meiosis.

A pregnancy that can result from a carrier producing balanced gametes.

Segregation type leading to 4 unbalanced gametes during meiosis.

Condition where no sperm is found in the semen.

Three or more spontaneous losses of pregnancy.

Clinical manifestations related to the formation of gametes, which can lead to chromosomal imbalances.

A structural rearrangement of chromosomes where a segment is reversed but not lost or gained.

A genetic alteration that appears for the first time in a family member and is not inherited.

An inversion that is passed down from a parent, typically considered benign if the parent shows no symptoms.

A chromosomal abnormality where segments of two chromosomes exchange places without genetic material loss.

Rare translocations that occur within specific families due to inheritance of particular chromosome arrangements.

Translocations that repeatedly occur within the population, not limited to a single family.

A chromosome formed from an abnormal event, losing or gaining genetic material.

A condition resulting from having an extra chromosome segment; typically leads to genetic imbalances.

A condition where one chromosome segment is missing, leading to a loss of genetic material.

The long arm of chromosome 14, noted in cases of partial trisomy or monosomy.

The natural termination of a pregnancy before the fetus can survive independently, often due to chromosomal abnormalities.

A segregation error that leads to an imbalance, resulting in possible viable pregnancies with intellectual disabilities.

A diverse group of conditions characterized by limitations in intellectual functioning and adaptive behavior.

A genetic disorder resulting from a specific translocation, leading to developmental issues.

An abnormal number of chromosomes, often leading to miscarriages and disabilities.

A specific type of chromosomal rearrangement that can lead to various disorders like Down syndrome.

Incorrect distribution of chromosomes during cell division, leading to genetic anomalies.

Changes in chromosome structure that can affect gamete formation.

The process of sperm cell development which can be disrupted by abnormal structures.

Unique chromosome configurations formed during meiosis in carriers of structural rearrangements.

A genetic exchange between homologous chromosomes during meiosis that can lead to unbalanced gametes.

A chromatid with two centromeres that often leads to instability during cell division.

Balanced gametes have the normal set of chromosomes; unbalanced gametes have abnormal chromosomes leading to complications.
