The chromosomes are the condensed structure of the DNA. They are X shaped and contain different DNA segments. Each chromosome has different genes and all the chromosomes in the organism makes up the genome.

Students have asked these similar questions
Which of the following statements is/are true? Choose only the best answer. All three of the other statements are true. Genome rearrangements can be caused by errors during meiosis. Transposable elements can result in gene deletion by facilitating unequal crossing over. DNA polymerase replication errors can lead to changes in the number of repeats in simple sequence DNA.
Which of the following is an example of a balanced mutation?  Group of answer choices inversions deletions aneuploidy tandem duplications
Pick the statement about chromosome structure that is FALSE.     Gene duplications provide an explanation for the origin of gene families.     A position effect occurs when a gene’s expression is altered by virtue of a change in its chromosomal position.     Inversions decrease the frequency of recombinate gametes.     A paracentric inversion is one whose break points include the centromere.     Genes that function abnormally when present in only one copy are called haploinsufficient.
