Hemizigosis

26 de January de 2021

Most human genes exist in pairs. Each individual has two copies of each gene, one inherited from the father and one from the mother. The hemizigosis is a condition in which there is only one copy of a particular gene. The hemizigosis occurs naturally in male sex chromosomes, X and Y. It may also be accidentally in monosomies (although there is no viable monosomy in humans except for the X chromosome) or chromosome deletions.
