The key difference between nondisjunction and translocation mutations is that the nondisjunction mutation is a mutation that occurs due to the failure in segregation of homologous chromosomes or chromatids during the cell division while the translocation mutation is a mutation that occurs due to the rearrangement of different parts of chromosomes between non-homologous chromosomes. Mutation […]
Difference Between Genetic Disorders and Chromosomal Disorders
The key difference between genetic disorders and chromosomal disorders is that the genetic disorders are the diseases that arise due to the changes occur in the DNA of an organism while the chromosomal disorders are a type of genetic disorders, specifically referred to the diseases that arise due to the changes occurring in structure or […]
Difference Between Polytene and Lampbrush Chromosome
The key difference between polytene and lampbrush chromosome is that the polytene chromosome is a giant, six armed and banded chromosome present in many dipteron fly species while lampbrush chromosome is a giant chromosome present in oocytes of vertebrates that have an appearance of a lampbrush. A chromosome refers to a thread like structure composed of tightly packaged DNA molecule and […]
Difference Between Genome and Gene Pool
The key difference between genome and gene pool is that the genome refers to the entire DNA of an organism while the gene pool refers to the complete set of unique genes of an interbreeding population. Gene is the basic structural unit of the heredity. Genes pass from parent to offspring via gametes. Also, they […]
Difference Between Phenotype and Genotype Ratio
The key difference between phenotype and genotype ratio is that the phenotype ratio is the relative number of or the pattern of the offspring manifesting the visible expression of a particular trait while the genotype ratio is the pattern of offspring distribution according to the genetic constitution. Phenotype and genotype are two terms that use […]
Difference Between Germline Mutation and Somatic Mutation
The key difference between germline mutation and somatic mutation is that the germline mutation inherits to the offspring while somatic mutation is not inherent to the offspring. DNA is the heredity material of most living organisms. Mutation is a permanent alteration of the nucleotide sequence of a DNA fragment or a gene. Different types of […]
Difference Between Trisomy and Triploidy
The key difference between trisomy and triploidy is that the trisomy is a condition that an organism is having an extra chromosome making the total as 47 while triploidy is a condition that an organism is having an entire extra set of chromosome making the total as 69. The human genome consists of a total […]
Difference Between Genetic Testing and Screening
The key difference between genetic testing and screening is that the genetic testing is performed on an individual while genetic screening is performed on a population. Genetic testing and screening are two methods of disease prevention. These methods help to evaluate the risk of a genetic disorder in an individual or in a population respectively. […]
Difference Between BRCA1 and BRCA2 Mutation
The key difference between BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation is that the change in the genetic code of BRCA1 gene (BReast CAncer genes 1), which is located in the chromosome 17, is BRCA1 mutation while the change in the genetic code of BRCA2 gene (BReast CAncer genes 2), which is present in the chromosome 13, is […]
Difference Between Complementary and Supplementary Genes
The key difference between complementary and supplementary genes is that the complementary genes require the presence of each gene in expressing the trait, while only one gene out of the two supplementary genes requires the presence of the other gene when expressing the trait. Genes interact with each other when producing a trait in an […]
