In mitotic metaphase a single chromosome/ pair of chromatids line up along the metaphase plate. Sister chromatids are identical and so the orientation of the chromosome doesn’t carry any meaning.

ChromTR, a cutting-edge framework for chromosome detection in metaphase cell images, represents a significant advancement in the field of cytogenetics. This framework, which integrates semantic ...

Scientists succeeded in removing the extra copy of chromosome 21 in cell cultures derived from a person with Down syndrome. Persons with this condition have three copies of this chromosome. The ...

For a living cell to divide successfully, each daughter cell must inherit the correct genetic material. In eukaryotes, segregation of duplicated chromosomes is performed by the mitotic spindle, a ...

Each X chromosome has genes that, when “switched on,” produce proteins to do work inside of cells. Women, who have two X’s, also have a molecule called Xist that clings to the second X ...
