The alien species has decided that they want use a ray gun on you that will duplicate or remove one of the 23 types of chromosomes in all of your body cells. You get to choose which chromosome is affected (choose the the one that would impact your life the least). If your last name begins with H-Z, choose a chromosome that will be duplicated (only one will be duplicated so you will now have 47 chromosomes).(the last name start with H).plz show List 5 types of important genes found on that chromosome and list the source where you got this info. - Describe in detail, your rationale as to why you chose this chromosome - list what specific types of treatments your would develop to try to counteract the effects of the missing or extra chromosome (be specific).thank you so much

Answer 1

In human beings there are 46 chromosomes in each cell(except gametes) 2 sex chromosomes &22 pairs of autosomes There are 22 autosomes(A)&1sex chromosome in ovum & 22 autosomes & either (X)as (A+X) or(Y) chromosome as(A+Y) in sperms Sex chromosome is affected by ray gun on homologous chromosomes X of male is duplicated as(2A+XXY) having 47 chromosomes instead of 46 chromosomes ex. in klinfelter,s syndrome Adenine,Thymine,Guanine,Cytosine & Urocil is nitrogenous bases. Genetic engeering techniques or Gene therapy used for these treatments
