The current genetic research using Y-chromosome data shows that the Celtic-speaking people of the British Isles are related to the Basques.
Nullisomy, the loss of both copies of a chromosome, can have severe consequences for an organism. It often leads to lethality in embryos due to the absence of essential genes located on the missing chromosome. In organisms that can survive, nullisomy can result in developmental abnormalities, impaired growth, and reduced fertility due to the disruption of normal genetic balance. In some cases, the loss of specific chromosomes may also lead to increased susceptibility to diseases.
it is called a sister chromosome :)

An autosome is any of the 23 chromosomes which is not an X or Y chromosome. A sex chromosome is effectively the same as an autosome, apart from depending upon whether you inherit a Y chromosome or not, a sex chromosome will determine your gender. Hence the name.

The specific location of a gene on a chromosome is called it's locus.

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
Chromosome 15q partial deletion is the name for this syndrome.
