chromosomes

Chromosomes are organize structures of DNA and proteins that are found in cells. A chromosome is a singular piece of DNA, which contains many genes, regulatory elements and other nucleotide sequences. Chromosomes also contain DNA-bound proteins, which serve to package the DNA and control its functions. The word chromosome comes from the Greek χρῶμα (chroma, color) and σῶμα (soma, body) due to their property of being stained very strongly by some dyes.

Trivia about chromosomes

Having 4 large pairs of these makes the fruit fly a favorite subject for geneticists
While we have 23 pairs of these in each cell, the fruit fly makes do with 4, only 1 of them sex-related
Human beings normally have 46 of these in most of their cells
These gene-carrying structures are distinguished by haploid & diploid numbers
This threadlike structure found in cells is made up largely of proteins & DNA
Humans have 46 of these, bullfrogs have 26 & fruit flies have 8; how unique!
Humans have 23 pairs of these threadlike structures
Gene carriers (11)
These were first seen in human cells in 1882; the exact number, 46, was determined in 1956
They're the tiny threadlike structures that carry the genes - you have 23 pairs
Geneticists know that human beings typically have 23 pairs of these; fruit flies have only 4 pairs
Tomato plants have 12 pairs of these for a diploid number of 24
These DNA-bearing structures have caps called telomeres; learn to lengthen those & we'll all live forever
The "X" and "Y" ones of these gene structures are inherited from your parents & determine if you're male or female
(Jimmy of the Clue Crew motions to a diagram on a chalkboard.) During cell division, structures called spindles attach these to one end of the cell
In order to duplicate itself in cell division, one of these splits into 2 identical strands called chromatids

X and Y chromosomes, ~>
In the vegetable kingdom, more sets of chromosomes are often better

I just wanna thank God & genetics & mama Sheila & August sr. 😻 them chromosomes did him well 🙌😩
You Have 46 Chromosomes. This Pond Creature Has 15,600 (Oxytricha trifallax; click through for story). ~>
@loombandnialy Tapos nagpaparty na yung mga chromosomes, cell wall, nucleus mo. Ayos grabe.
Why did I have to get two X chromosomes? Fuck! .~.
@wittyboylouis Do you have chromosomes sprinkled on your cereal?
Genes, DNA, chromosomes, genomes. We've got the basics of genetics covered:
@JuiceJuiicy I have no clue...that's your species...imma need for yo estrogen & XX chromosomes to explain all this to me..?

"when I look at a person I don't see someone who looks a certain way or has this or that amount of chromosomes."
@FlyGoalScoredBy would you say you are fairly certain these players will have Y chromosomes?
Humans have 46 chromosomes, and peas have 14, but crawfish have 200.
Tonight I may as well have 47 chromosomes, because I'm getting DOWN all night! I'll see myself out.
@mikecannytalk @nonprophetess @seculawyer Well, there you go. They have 24 chromosomes. If we are only animals, a lot has to change.

I'm of the opinion that that footballer, Suarez, his DNA be scanned for possible snake chromosomes. He mayn't be acting on his on volition.
WHY DO I ALWAYS GET PEOPLE WITH EXTRA CHROMOSOMES
@MaisieMcMahon I couldn't ruin the gene because I have no access to your chromosomes I just ruined your joke😏

Your chromosomes have combined beautifully :p

It just doesn't make sense!! Hair length (on the head, at any rate) is socially determined, not a function of chromosomes.
"46 chromosomes. That’s what we’re all made up of, but somehow your combination of 46 has been made so..."
Trippy how you can switch up the chromosomes before your kid is born to chose what traits you want them to have👌

Chromosomes consists of a) DNA and lipids b) RNA and amino acids c) DNA and protiens d) RNA and sugars #Nitin
