chromosome
Long strings of genetic material made up of DNA and accessory proteins. The DNA contains approximately 30,000 to 100,000 genes that make up the human genome. Human cells contain 23 pairs of chromosomes (46 total), with the mother and the father each contributing one chromosome to each pair in their children.
kromosom [SWEDISH]
Kromosomerna är bärarna av arvsanlaget i varje cell. Bland bakterierna talar man ibland om kromosomal resistens, vilket innebär att de gener som kodar för resistensegenskapen sitter i kromosomerna och inte i så kallade plasmider.
