How are chromosomes connected to the chromatid?
Chromosomes are composed of two chromatids. Each chromatid is an exact replica of the other, and for this reason they're called sister chromatids. If the chromosome is an "X", then the left side is one chromatid and the right side is the other. Eventually the centromere will split in the middle of the "X" and the sister chromosomes will move towards the polar ends of the cell via kinetochore fibers.
Why don't the sex chromosomes have true homologous partners like the autosomes?
Well... they can. In females (who contain XX chromosomes) there is a homologous pair of chromosomes. In males (XY) the Y chromosome must be in existence to activate the development of male characteristics... Otherwise they'd be females.
What cell type has no membrane-bound organelles has a single unbound chromosome and is very small?
Prokaryotic Cell
What is the difference between sex chromosomes and autosomes?
Autosomes are the somatic chromosomes which control the body characters or somatic characters, Whereas Sex chromosomes are the allosomes which determines sex of an individual
How do X and Y chromosome differ?
The X chromosome is larger and carries more genetic information than the Y chromosome. The Y chromosome carries the genes that determine male sex characteristics, while the X chromosome carries genes that are important for both male and female development. Males typically have one X and one Y chromosome, while females have two X chromosomes.
This is a type of mutation called translocation.
Whether or not a particular religion sees Jesus as divine or not, if he was human at all he had to have the XY chromosomes. One can assume that, if actually conceived by the Holy Ghost, the Holy Ghost has the ability to provide a Y chromosome...
What are three functions of chromosomes?
1. As a storage of genetic information that will be passed down from parent to child that shape the nature and characteristics of the individual.
2. Plays an important role in the process of cell division.
3. Determining the sex of an individual.
How many chromosomes would be in a zygote if the bird has 30 chromosomes?
A zygote is a fertilized egg cell, so it is diploid and thus has a full set of DNA.
If the adult has 30 pairs of chromosomes, the zygote would have 30 pairs. If there are 30 chromosomes, then the zygote will have 60 (30 from the mother and 30 from the father). It comes down to whether you meant individual chromosomes or pairs of chromosomes.
The homologus chromosomes form a four, quad, and in telephase the 'homologus' chromosomes separate in half. Then, they separate and make 2 diploid cells.
How do you rank the hereditary components nucleotide gamete chromosome and gene from small to large?
nucleotide, gene, chromosome, gamete
What do chromosomes become after they duplicate?
After chromosomes duplicate during the S phase of the cell cycle, they consist of two identical sister chromatids held together by a centromere. These sister chromatids later separate during cell division to ensure each daughter cell receives a complete set of genetic material.
How many chromosomes does a dragon have?
It is undetermined because a dragon is only a mythological character. There are no proofs that dragons exists or if they lived before. The only living dragon is the Komodo dragon and it is a lizard.
Sex Chromosomes
What chromosomes did the father contribute if a normal female is produced?
The father must have contributed an X chromosome if a normal female is produced.
Why do potatoes have more chromosomes than humans?
The number of chromosomes of a species has little to do with the complexity of the organism or the amount of DNA. The reason for this is, chromosomes are known to break and form two or more new chromosomes, or fuse into one. The chromosomes of the potato and the potato lineage may have undergone many such changes, and the human lineage may have undergone a different series, resulting in the potato having more chromosomes.
