President Obama gave transgender Americans a notable mention in the SOTU. But lack of data is holding back policy that could help. In May, Orange is the New Black transgender star Laverne Cox appeared on the cover of Time. Earlier this month, Amazonâs âTransparent,â which focuses on a family with a transgender father, won the Golden Globe for best comedy series.
Chromosomal abnormalities are caused by errors in the number or structure of chromosomes. These errors in the number of chromosomes occur during cell division. There are two kinds of cell division. Mitosis results in two cells that are duplicates of the original cell. This kind of cell division occurs throughout the body, except in the reproductive organs.
Although it is possible to inherit some types of chromosomal abnormalities, most chromosomal disorders (such as Down syndrome and Turner syndrome) are not passed from one generation to the next. Some chromosomal conditions are caused by changes in the number of chromosomes.These changes are not inherited, but occur as random events during the formation of reproductive cells (eggs and sperm). An error in cell division called nondisjunction results in reproductive cells with an abnormal number of chromosomes.lthough it is possible to inherit some types of chromosomal abnormalities, most chromosomal disorders (such as Down syndrome and Turner syndrome) are not passed from one generation to the next.
