Homologous chromosomes are chromosome pairs of the same length, centromere position, and staining pattern, with genes for the same characteristics at corresponding loci. One homologous chromosome is inherited from the organism's mother; the other from the organism's father.[1]
Deletion: Part of a chromosome is missing. Duplication: A segment of a chromosome is copied multiple times. Inversion: A segment of a chromosome is reversed in orientation. Translocation: Part of a chromosome breaks off and attaches to another chromosome.
No, there are 46 chromosomes in one cell. A gamete, or sex cell, has 23 chromosomes because during fertilization, the female and male gametes (egg and sperm, respectively) come together to form a new cell with 46 chromosomes
Chromosomes and chromatids are related in that one is the duplicate of another. A chromatid comes about when chromosomes are duplicated. It holds replicated DNA of every single chromosome that is joined.
The four types of chromosomal mutation are deletion, duplication, inversion and trasnlocation. Deletion is the loss of all or part of a chromosome. Duplication is where a segment of a chromosome is copied. Inversion is where a section of a chromosome is reversed. Translocation is the process in where a part of one chromosome breaks off and attaches to a non-homologous chromosome.
The rod-shaped structure of tightly coiled DNA found in the cell nucleus of plants and animals is called a chromosome.
singular= Gamete plural= Gametes
Another name for meiosis, which results in the reduction of chromosome number from diploid to haploid, is reduction division.
it is called a sister chromosome :)
You might see an extra chromosome or a missing chromosome. You might see a piece of a chromosome missing, or a piece added onto another chromosome.
Chromosome
There are two sex chromosomes: the X chromosome and the Y chromosome. During fertilization, the mother always gives an X chromosome and the father gives either another X chromosome or a Y chromosome. Therefore, all humans have at least one X chromosome.
Deletion: Part of a chromosome is missing. Duplication: A segment of a chromosome is copied multiple times. Inversion: A segment of a chromosome is reversed in orientation. Translocation: Part of a chromosome breaks off and attaches to another chromosome.

Actually Yes you would
When th chromosome was discovered, it was given that name for a reason. Translated from Greek to German, it was khromasoma. When translated to English, it means color body.
A Trisomy 1. Another said this was Down's Syndrome.
