| chromosomes in multiple miscarriages | Couples who have had more than one miscarriage (spontaneous abortion) have about a 5% chance that one member of the couple is carrying a chromsome translocation responsible for the miscarriages. (12 Dec 1998) |
| chromosomes, yeast artificial | Chromosomes in which fragments of exogenous DNA ranging in length up to several hundred kilobase pairs have been cloned into yeast through ligation to vector sequences. These artificial chromosomes are used extensively in molecular biology for the construction of comprehensive genomic libraries of higher organisms. (12 Dec 1998) |
| miscarriages, multiple, chromosomes in | Couples who have had more than one miscarriage have about a 5% chance that one member of the couple is carrying a chromsome translocation responsible for the miscarriages. (12 Dec 1998) |
| segregation of chromosomes | <cell biology, genetics> The separation of pairs of homologous chromosomes that occurs at meiosis so that only one chromosome from each pair is present in any single gamete. (18 Nov 1997) |
| homologous chromosomes | A pair of chromosomes containing the same gene sequences, each derived from one parent. (12 Dec 1998) |
| sex chromosomes | The homologous chromosomes that are dissimilar in the heterogametic sex. There are the x chromosome, the y chromosome, and the w, z chromosomes (in animals in which the female is the heterogametic sex (the silkworm moth bombyx mori, for example). In such cases the w chromosome is the female-determining and the male is zz. (12 Dec 1998) |
| nonhomologous chromosomes | <genetics> Chromosome's that are not members of the same pair. (05 Mar 2000) |
| double minute chromosomes | <genetics, molecular biology> Paired, extrachromosomal elements lacking centromeres, often associated with a drug resistance gene. (05 Mar 2000) |
