Storage location of DNA, and are used to pass on genetic traits.
It's found in the nucleus of almost all living sells and it carries genetic information also known as DNA which basically works out how your body is to function and grow.
Produce cells that contain the haploid number of chromosomes.
The purpose of chromosomes in the nucleus of a cell is to contain genetic information that tells the cell what to do, how to behave etc. Chromosomes also contain the information that determines what you look like; whether you have brown hair, blue eyes etc.
Chromosomes
There are going to be half the amount of the original chromosomes that were in each cell to begin with. So therefore there are going to be 4 chromosomes in each daughter cell at the end of mitosis..Actually there will be 2 chromosomes, in each daughter cell at the end of mitosis!
they are grouped into multiple chromosomes.
To pull chromosomes apart.
Walter Sutton studied giant chromosomes in grasshoppers.
Produce cells that contain the haploid number of chromosomes.
chromosomes
Spindle fibers move chromosomes to the center of the cell during metaphase of cell division and break the chromosomes apart during Anaphase.
A chromosome is transferred from parent to offspring and its purpose is to transport genetic material to the cell of the offspring
The purpose of chromosomes in the nucleus of a cell is to contain genetic information that tells the cell what to do, how to behave etc. Chromosomes also contain the information that determines what you look like; whether you have brown hair, blue eyes etc.
Chromosomes
the purpose of meiosis is to reduce the number of chromosomes in new cells to half the number of the original cell which is known as reduction division. The process also creates gamete cells which are also haploid cells because they contain half the DNA of the original cell.In simple terms the purpose of meiosis is to create genetically unique sex cells ( sperm and egg ) with half the normal number of chromosomes
There are going to be half the amount of the original chromosomes that were in each cell to begin with. So therefore there are going to be 4 chromosomes in each daughter cell at the end of mitosis..Actually there will be 2 chromosomes, in each daughter cell at the end of mitosis!
homologous chromosomes and autosomal chromosomes
They have homologous chromosomes
