The leg of a chromosome refers to one of the two strands of a chromosome that are joined at the centromere. In a replicated chromosome, each leg is called a chromatid, with one leg being the sister chromatid of the other. During cell division, these chromatids are separated and distributed to daughter cells. The term "leg" is often used in a more informal context to describe the structure of the chromosome.

What is the designation for the short arm of a chromosome?
Chromosome # + pso the short arm of Chromosome 11 is referred to as 11p
What various types of genetic material in order from simplest to most complex?
nucleus → chromosome → gene
Is the smallest gene cell chromosome?
Chromosome 21 is the smallest human chromosome. Inside of the chromosome, there are 48 billion nucleotides, the building blocks of DNA.
What chromosomes can be affected by changes in chromosome numbers?
Any chromosome can be affected by changes in chromosome numbers. This can include trisomy (three copies of a chromosome), monosomy (one copy of a chromosome), or other abnormalities such as deletions or duplications. These changes can lead to genetic disorders or abnormalities.
What is a sat chromosome?
A sat chromosome, short for satellite chromosome, is a chromosome with a secondary constriction that contains highly repetitive DNA sequences called satellite DNA. These regions appear as small, secondary appendages on the chromosome and play a role in chromosome structure and organization.
What is the syndrome of the missing long leg of chromosome 5?
I think you mean long arm...chromosomes don't have legs.
Is an x chromosome and chromosome the same thing?
An x chromosome is specifically a feminine chromosome. With a x and y chromosome its male, with a x and x, it is a female.
Which chromosome contains the sex gene?
chromosome 1 chromosome 1
What are the name of 23 chromosomes in human body?
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
What is the designation for the short arm of a chromosome?
Chromosome # + pso the short arm of Chromosome 11 is referred to as 11p
Does an x chromosome looks the same as a y chromosome?
No. An 'X' chromosome looks like an 'X'. The 'Y' chromosome looks like a deformed 'X'. It is noticeably different to an 'X' chromosome. Also, the 'Y' chromosome is only a third of the size of an 'X' chromosome - an 'X' chromosome is 155 million base pares, while the 'Y' chromosome is only 58 million base pairs.
4 chromosome mutations?
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.
What is the difference between Edward's syndrome and Patau's syndrome?
in Patau there is an extra chromosome in chromosome 13, in Edwars it the extra chromosome is in chromosome 18
What condition is carried on a chromosome other then the sex chromosome?
The gene that causes cystic fibrosis is located on chromosome 7, which is an autosome, not a sex chromosome.
List these in order from smallest to largest chromosome gene cell?
Smallest to largest: Gene (a place on a chromosome); chromosome (there are 46 in human cells); and DNA (because it accounts for all the genetic material in a cell).
What sex chromosome is present in all humans?
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.
What chromosome does hemophilia come from?
The X Chromosome.
