The fundamental autosomal number or autosomal fundamental number, FNa[36]or AN,[37]of a karyotype is the number of visible major chromosomal arms per set of autosomes(non-sex-linked chromosomes). Ploidy. [edit] Ploidyis the number of complete sets of chromosomes in a cell. Polyploidy, where there are more than two sets of homologous chromosomes ...
G banding. Schematic karyogram of a human as seen on G banding, with annotated bands and sub-bands. It is a graphical representation of the idealized human diploid karyotype. Each row is vertically aligned at centromere level. It shows 22 homologous autosomal chromosome pairs, both the female (XX) and male (XY) versions of the two sex ...
Schematic representation of the human diploid karyotype, showing the organization of the genome into chromosomes, as well as annotated bands and sub-bands as seen on G banding. This drawing shows both the female (XX) and male (XY) versions of the 23rd chromosome pair. Chromosomal changes during the cell cycle are displayed at top center.
N2 chart. N 2 chart example. [1] The N2 chart or N2 diagram (pronounced "en-two" or "en-squared") is a chart or diagram in the shape of a matrix, representing functional or physical interfaces between system elements. It is used to systematically identify, define, tabulate, design, and analyze functional and physical interfaces.
Genetics of Down syndrome. Down syndrome is a chromosomal abnormality characterized by the presence of an extra copy of genetic material on chromosome 21, either in whole (trisomy 21) or part (such as due to translocations). The effects of the extra copy varies greatly from individual to individual, depending on the extent of the extra copy ...
A metaphase cell positive for the BCR/ABL rearrangement using FISH. Cytogenetics is essentially a branch of genetics, but is also a part of cell biology/cytology (a subdivision of human anatomy), that is concerned with how the chromosomes relate to cell behaviour, particularly to their behaviour during mitosis and meiosis. [1]
A Barr body (named after discoverer Murray Barr) [1] or X-chromatin is an inactive X chromosome. In species with XY sex-determination (including humans), females typically have two X chromosomes, [2] and one is rendered inactive in a process called lyonization. Errors in chromosome separation can also result in male and female individuals with ...
In molecular biology, SNP array is a type of DNA microarray which is used to detect polymorphisms within a population. A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), a variation at a single site in DNA, is the most frequent type of variation in the genome. Around 335 million SNPs have been identified in the human genome, [ 1 ] 15 million of which are ...
