Chromosomal Disorders
• Chromosomal deletion: when cells go through meiosis, portions of the chromosome are lost.
• Chromosomal inversion: when cells go through meiosis, parts of the chromosome are flipped.
• Chromosomal translocation: when cells go through meiosis, parts of the chromosomes stick together and switch.
• Chromosomal non-disjunction: when cells go through meiosis the chromosomes don’t separate correctly and either too many or not enough are passed on.
