The highly condensed forms of DNA (and proteins) are known as chromosomes.
diploid
This is called the (visible) spectrum; and may also be referred to as a rainbow.
Normal females have XX chromosomes (unless there is some chromosomal abnormalities such as Turner's Syndrome or fragile X syndrome). It is also possible for a female to have 3 or even X, in which case, she is referred to as a "superfemale"
Chromosomes as such as found only within the nucleus. The mitochondria of animal and chloroplasts of plants contain their own DNA. This DNA is present in the form of a large loop of plasmid-like structure. This is referred to as the mitochondrial genome or the chloroplast genome, depending on where it is found. However, these genomes do not have tightly packed DNA like that found in chromosomes and are not considered chromosomes.
They are called homologous chromosomes (but can also be referred to as homologues or homologs).
The highly condensed forms of DNA (and proteins) are known as chromosomes.
the trillium flower has 5 large chromosomes which have been referred to as the "Drosophila" of the plant world.
diploid
each chromosome consists of two identical "sister" chromatids
diploid is what the total number of chromosomes in an organism is
They can be referred to as either separated or estranged.
there are 23 pairs of matching chromosomes 46 chromosomes altogether.
DNA is divided into several linear bundles called chromosomes, are separated by a microtubular spindle during nuclear divisionThe DNA usually divides into a number of linear bundles referred to as chromosomes that are usually separated by a microtubular spindle during nuclear division.
Diploid to diploid, commonly referred to as 2N to 2N describes the number of chromosomes transfered via mitosis. This means that the duplicated cell (daughter cell) will have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. A process that would go 2N to N (diploid to haploid) would be meiosis.
The answer is mitosis- The orderly division of the nucleus of a cell that ensures that each new nucleus has the same number and kind of chromosomes as the original nucleus. The process includes the replication of chromosomes and the distribution of the two sets of chromosomes into two separate and equal nuclei.
21, the condition is also referred to as trisomy 21.
