An example could be mitochondria, because 1. Its not a chromosome and 2. It doesn't carry chromosomes.
An example of an autosome is chromosome 1 in humans. Autosomes are non-sex chromosomes that are the same in both males and females. They contain genes responsible for various traits and functions in the body.
One of the non-X or non-Y chromosomes
A trisomy is when a person has 3 versions of a chromosome. 'Normal' humans will only have 2 of each chromosome. For example, having 3 versions of chromosome 21 is known as Trisomy 21 or Down Syndrome.
Sickle cell anemia is not sex linked.
Chromosome # + pso the short arm of Chromosome 11 is referred to as 11p

Chromosome Disorder
One of the non-X or non-Y chromosomes
A translocation event, which involves an exchange of chromosome segments between non-homologous chromosomes (in this case, chromosome 7 and chromosome 15). Translocations can lead to genetic disorders or be inherited as a chromosomal abnormality.
A trisomy is when a person has 3 versions of a chromosome. 'Normal' humans will only have 2 of each chromosome. For example, having 3 versions of chromosome 21 is known as Trisomy 21 or Down Syndrome.
Down's Syndrome is an example of a birth defect characterized by an abnormality of the chromosome structure.
Errors in meiosis, such as non-disjunction, can lead to abnormalities by causing an unequal distribution of chromosomes in the daughter cells. This can result in conditions like Down syndrome, where there is an extra copy of chromosome 21. Another example is Turner syndrome, which arises from the absence of one X chromosome in females due to non-disjunction.
Sickle cell anemia is not sex linked.
Chromosome # + pso the short arm of Chromosome 11 is referred to as 11p
When a segment of a chromosome breaks away and joins a non-homologous chromosome, it is called a translocation. This can lead to gene disruptions and potentially cause genetic disorders.
translocation
An example of a heterozygous chromosome is having one chromosome with a dominant allele and the other with a recessive allele for a particular gene. This can lead to different traits expressed depending on the dominant or recessive nature of the alleles.
