Question 1
If an embryo doesn't have an exact multiple of the normal haploid number of 23 chromosomes, the condition is known as
◦ aneuploidy.
◦ diploidy.
◦ ahaploidy.
◦ multiploidy.
◦ synploidy.
Question 2
If gene replacement therapy became available
◦ it would not work for humans because we have too many chromosomes.
◦ it would involve a surgical technique that separates chromosomes that have failed to segregate properly during meiosis II.
◦ it could be used to treat victims of a recessive disease by removing the dominant damaging autosomal allele and replacing it with a harmless one.
◦ it would replace defective alleles with normal ones.
◦ it would remove entire chromosomes from cells and repair the defective genes.
