When cells multiply, each new cell usually gets an exact copy of all 46 chromosomes (23 pairs). But in a cancer cell this genetic copying process often goes out of control. Scientists can identify some cancers just by looking for typical changes in the chromosomes: pieces are often missing, duplicated or rearranged.

What are the other 44 chromosomes that are not related to sex called?
The other 44 chromosomes that are not related to sex are called autosomes. These autosomes are found in pairs, with one copy inherited from each parent, and they contain genetic information that determines various traits and characteristics in an individual.
How are DNA and chromosomes related?
Chromosomes are structures composed of DNA and proteins that are found in the nucleus of cells. DNA is coiled around proteins called histones to form chromatin, which further condenses to form chromosomes during cell division. Chromosomes contain the genetic information in the form of DNA that determines an organism's traits.
How are the chromosomes of the offspring related to the chromosomes of the parents and what impact does this relationship have on genetic inheritance?
The chromosomes of the offspring are a combination of the chromosomes from both parents. This relationship impacts genetic inheritance by determining which traits are passed down from the parents to the offspring.
Can you explain how homologous chromosomes are related and what role they play in genetic inheritance?
Homologous chromosomes are pairs of chromosomes that carry the same genes, one from each parent. They are related because they have similar genetic information. During sexual reproduction, homologous chromosomes exchange genetic material through a process called crossing over, which increases genetic diversity. Homologous chromosomes play a crucial role in genetic inheritance by ensuring that offspring receive a combination of genetic traits from both parents.
Which chromosmoes contains sex-linled genes?
Sex-linked genes are located on the sex chromosomes, particularly on the X and Y chromosomes. On the X chromosome, X-linked genes are inherited differently between males and females, while the Y chromosome carries genes related to male sex determination and fertility.
How are chromosomes related cancer?
A cancer is a chromosome of its own.
How is DNA related to cancer?

What do chromosomes have to do with cancer?

Is breast cancer do to a lack of chromosomes or extra chromosomes?
Neither. Breast cancer is the over growth of cells due to hormones or genetics.
What chromosomes are affected by colon cancer?
Well, Cancer is when abnormal cells divide out of control. The chromosomes are the DNA that controls Cell Division
Is breast cancer a sex chromosome?
No, breast cancer is not a sex chromosome. Breast cancer is a type of cancer that forms in the cells of the breasts, and it can affect individuals of any sex. It is typically not directly related to sex chromosomes.
How are chromosomes DNA related?
Chromosomes are tightly coiled structures of DNA (and proteins).
How are homologous chromosomes diploid related?

What are the other 44 chromosomes that are not related to sex called?

Does the helicobacter pylori provokes cancer?
Helicobacter pylori is related to a few types of stomach cancer. It is the only bacteria known to be related to cancer.
Is there an ICD 9 code for formal assessment and treatment of cancer related fatigue?
cancer related fatigue
