Similar results have been found in other studies [17] [18]. Based on these reports we have defined hard-to-heal ulcers in this study as venous leg ulcers with an initial area of 10cm2 or greater and a duration of six months or more.
A gene is a segment of DNA containing the code used to synthesize a protein. A chromosome contains hundreds to thousands of genes. Every human cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes, for a total of 46 chromosomes. A trait is any gene-determined characteristic and is often determined by more than one gene. Some traits are caused by abnormal genes that are inherited or that are the result of a new mutation.
Body cells have pairs of chromosomes while sex cells have only single sets of chromosomes. The human body cells have 22 pairs of autosomes and 1 pair of sex chromosomes for â¦ a total of 23 pairs or 46 chromosomes.Sex cells for humans will have half of that (because they are not paired) so a total of 23 chromosomes.6. The cells of the human body, for example in the liver, brain, and muscles, contain two sets of chromosomes, and are called diploid. There are 23 chromosomes in each set, â¦ and we inherit 23 from each parent. 2 people found this useful.
