Composed of chromatin (DNA wrapped around histone proteins). Key structures include centromeres (attachment points) and telomeres (protective caps).
Cytogenetics bridges the gap between cell biology and genetics by studying , the physical carriers of genetic material. Principles of Genetics and Cytogenetics
Results in two genetically identical daughter cells (somatic growth). Composed of chromatin (DNA wrapped around histone proteins)
Chemical modifications to DNA or histones that affect gene activity without changing the actual DNA sequence. Principles of Genetics and Cytogenetics
Having extra complete sets of chromosomes (common in plants).
