Meiotic Disorders
COLUMN A COLUMN B COLUMN C
1. Down’s Syndrome A. Caused by the C
presence of a third
copy of all or part
of chromosome
18.
2. Edward’s B. It affects only A
Syndrome females, results
when one of the X
chromosomes is
missing or partially
missing.
3. Patau Syndrome C.Caused by the E
presence of all or
parts of an extra
copy of
chromosome 21.
4. Klinefelter D. A condition that D
Syndrome results when a
male is born with
an extra copy of
chromosomes
(XXY).
5. Turner Syndrome E. Caused by having B
an additional copy
of chromosome 13
 in some or all the
body cells.

REFLECTION:
1. I learned that without the meiosis, the union of two
gametes during fertilization would result in offspring with
twice the normal number of chromosomes.
2. I enjoyed most on identifying the genetic disorder by
analysing the given karyotype in each number.
3. I want to learn more about the effects or the thing that
each stage of meiosis could do.
