The purpose is to hold DNA and control your body traits.
The purpose of meiosis is to reduce the chromosome number by half from diploid parent cells to haploid daughter cells. This reduction is essential for sexual reproduction to maintain a constant chromosome number across generations and to create genetic diversity through recombination.
Chromosome # + pso the short arm of Chromosome 11 is referred to as 11p
Chromosome 21 is the smallest human chromosome. Inside of the chromosome, there are 48 billion nucleotides, the building blocks of DNA.
nucleus → chromosome → gene
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.
show where on a chromosome each gene is located.
Genetic mapping is mapping genes to a specific location on a chromosome. therefore the purpose is that it helps to tell where on the chromosome a mutation is. For example if scientists find were on a chromosome a gene for a certain mutation, they can conduct gene therapy to replace it with a normal version of that gene. Basically it just tells scientists the location of a mutation so they can fix it more efficiently.
A chromosome is transferred from parent to offspring and its purpose is to transport genetic material to the cell of the offspring
The purpose of meiosis is to reduce the chromosome number by half from diploid parent cells to haploid daughter cells. This reduction is essential for sexual reproduction to maintain a constant chromosome number across generations and to create genetic diversity through recombination.
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.
chromosome 1 chromosome 1
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

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.
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.
A nucleaus is DNA or more definitively a chromosome unbundled. Remember that they only coagulate during Mitosis or Meiosis. The nucleaus also controls the cell
in Patau there is an extra chromosome in chromosome 13, in Edwars it the extra chromosome is in chromosome 18
