  2. Chromosome 22 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromosome_22

    Chromosome 22 is one of the 23 pairs of chromosomes in human cells. Humans normally have two copies of chromosome 22 in each cell. Humans normally have two copies of chromosome 22 in each cell. Chromosome 22 is the second smallest human chromosome, spanning about 51 million DNA base pairs and representing between 1.5 and 2% of the total DNA in ...

  3. Autosome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autosome

    Karyotype of human chromosomes ; Female (XX) Male (XY) There are two copies of each autosome (chromosomes 122) in both females and males. The sex chromosomes are different: There are two copies of the X-chromosome in females, but males have a single X-chromosome and a Y-chromosome.

  4. Chromosome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromosome

    The chromosomes of most bacteria (also called genophores), can range in size from only 130,000 base pairs in the endosymbiotic bacteria Candidatus Hodgkinia cicadicola [21] and Candidatus Tremblaya princeps, [22] to more than 14,000,000 base pairs in the soil-dwelling bacterium Sorangium cellulosum. [23] Some bacteria have more than one chromosome.

  5. Chromosome 1 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromosome_1

    Chromosome 1 is the designation for the largest human chromosome. Humans have two copies of chromosome 1, as they do with all of the autosomes , which are the non- sex chromosomes . Chromosome 1 spans about 249 million nucleotide base pairs , which are the basic units of information for DNA . [ 4 ]

  6. Polysomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polysomy

    Polysomy of chromosomes 1, 2, 4, 5, and 25 are also frequently involved in canine tumors. [16] Chromosome 1 may contain a gene responsible for tumor development and lead to changes in the karyotype, including fusion of the centromere, or centric fusions. [16] Aneuploidy due to nondisjunction is a common feature in tumor cells. [17]

  7. Aneuploidy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aneuploidy

    Aneuploidy is the presence of an abnormal number of chromosomes in a cell, for example a human somatic cell having 45 or 47 chromosomes instead of the usual 46. [1] [2] It does not include a difference of one or more complete sets of chromosomes. A cell with any number of complete chromosome sets is called a euploid cell. [1]

  8. Human genome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_genome

    The current version of the standard reference genome is called GRCh38.p14 (July 2023). It consists of 22 autosomes plus one copy of the X chromosome and one copy of the Y chromosome. It contains approximately 3.1 billion base pairs (3.1 Gb or 3.1 x 10 9 bp). [6]

  9. Karyotype - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karyotype

    The basic number of chromosomes in the somatic cells of an individual or a species is called the somatic number and is designated 2n. In the germ-line (the sex cells) the chromosome number is n (humans: n = 23). [4] [5] p28 Thus, in humans 2n = 46. So, in normal diploid organisms, autosomal chromosomes are present in two copies.
