When the chromosomes condense during cell division, they have already undergone replication. Each chromosome thus consists of two identical replicas, called chromatids, joined at a point called the centromere. During mitosis the sister chromatids separate, one going to each daughter cell. Chromosomes thus meet the first criterion for being the repository of genes: they are replicated, and a...
Chromosomes are made up mostly of DNA and are the structures in each of the bodyâs cells that carry the genetic information (in the form of genes) that tells the body how to develop, grow and function. Chromosomes usually come in pairs, with one chromosome from each pair coming from the father and one from the mother.Of the 46 chromosomes, two are a pair of sex chromosomes, XX (two X chromosomes) in females and XY (one X and one Y chromosome) in males. 1p interstitial deletions A chromosome 1p deletion means that the cells of the body have some genetic material missing from one of their 46 chromosomes, in this case from chromosome 1. For healthy development, chromosomes should contain just the right amount of genetic material â not too much and not too little.
