  2. Chromosome 18 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromosome_18

    The following are some of the gene count estimates of human chromosome 18. Because researchers use different approaches to genome annotation their predictions of the number of genes on each chromosome varies (for technical details, see gene prediction).

  3. List of organisms by chromosome count - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_organisms_by...

    The list of organisms by chromosome count describes ploidy or numbers of chromosomes in the cells of various plants, animals, protists, and other living organisms. This number, along with the visual appearance of the chromosome, is known as the karyotype, [1] [2] [3] and can be found by looking at the chromosomes through a microscope.

  4. Trisomy 18 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trisomy_18

    1 per 5,000 births [3] Trisomy 18, also known as Edwards syndrome, is a genetic disorder caused by the presence of a third copy of all or part of chromosome 18. [3] Many parts of the body are affected. [3] Babies are often born small and have heart defects. [3] Other features include a small head, small jaw, clenched fists with overlapping ...

    Eventually, complete proof came from chromosome maps in Morgan's own lab. [18] The number of human chromosomes was published in 1923 by Theophilus Painter. By inspection through the microscope, he counted twenty-four pairs, which would mean forty-eight chromosomes.

  6. Karyotype - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karyotype

    Karyotype. A karyotype is the general appearance of the complete set of chromosomes in the cells of a species or in an individual organism, mainly including their sizes, numbers, and shapes. [ 1][ 2] Karyotyping is the process by which a karyotype is discerned by determining the chromosome complement of an individual, including the number of ...

  7. XY sex-determination system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XY_sex-determination_system

    The XY sex-determination system is a sex-determination system used to classify many mammals, including humans, some insects ( Drosophila ), some snakes, some fish ( guppies ), and some plants ( Ginkgo tree). In this system, the sex of an individual usually is determined by a pair of sex chromosomes. Typically, females have two of the same kind ...

  8. Chromosome 1 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromosome_1

    CM000663 ( FASTA) 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]
