chromosomal 中文解釋 wordnet sense Collocation Usage Collins Definition
  1. of or relating to a chromosome; "chromosomal defect"
  2. (chromosome) a threadlike strand of DNA in the cell nucleus that carries the genes in a linear order; "humans have 22 chromosome pairs plus two sex chromosomes"
  3. A chromosome is an organized building of DNA and protein that is found in cells. It is a single piece of coiled DNA containing many genes, regulatory elements and other nucleotide sequences. Chromosomes also contain DNA-bound proteins, which serve to package the DNA and control its functions. ...
  4. (Chromosome (genetic algorithm)) In genetic algorithms, a chromosome (also sometimes called a genome) is a set of parameters which define a proposed solution to the problem that the genetic algorithm is trying to solve. ...
  5. (chromosome) A structure in the cell nucleus that contains DNA, histone protein, and other structural proteins
  6. (Chromosome) A linear sequence of genes wound up with proteins into a single unit that is found in the nucleus of cells. See also DNA, genes.
  7. (Chromosome) Physical structure consisting of a large DNA molecule organized into genes and supported by proteins called chromatin.
  8. (Chromosome) The self-replicating genetic structure of cells containing the cellular DNA that bears in its nucleotide sequence the linear array of genes.   In prokaryotes, chromosomal DNA is circular, and the entire genome is carried on one chromosome. ...
  9. (chromosome) A structural unit within a eukaryotic nucleus that carries genes. A chromosome consists of a long, continuous strand of DNA and associated proteins. See the Figure at NHGRI.
  10. (Chromosome) The nuclear structure of every living cell. Every human cell has normally 46 chromosomes. These chromosomes are made up of genes that govern all of the body's functions, and are also responsible for all the physical characteristics of an individual. Human gametes (i.e. ...
  11. (Chromosome) A circular strand of DNA in bacteria and cyanobacteria that contains the hereditary information necessary for cell life.
  12. (Chromosome) One of the bodies in the cell nucleus that is the bearer of genes. There are normally 46 in man.
  13. (Chromosome) Occurring in the nucleus of a cell.  Composed mainly of DNA and basic protein, and bearing the genes being arranged in linear order .  Chromosomes are arranged in pairs with the genes being arranged on the chromosome.
  14. (Chromosome) An association of genes contained in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells.
  15. (Chromosome) a structure containing DNA and proteins which carry genetic information (linear in eukaryotes, ring shaped in prokaryotes)
  16. (Chromosome) A threadlike structure in the nucleus of a cell that carries genetic information. A chromosome functions in the transmission of genetic information when a cell divides. Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes in every cell.
  17. (Chromosome) The structures in the cell that carry the genetic material (genes); the genetic messengers of inheritance. The human has forty-six chromosomes, twenty-three coming from the egg and twenty-three coming from the sperm.
  18. (Chromosome) in a cell nucleus, a structure containing a molecule of DNA that transmits genetic information . Each organism of a species normally has a characteristic number of chromosomes in its somatic cells; the normal number for humans is 46. ...
  19. A chromosome represents a large area of DNA that contains Genes.
  20. (Chromosome) The physical unit of genetic material in a cell. Prokaryotes have usually one large circular chromosome and one or more small circular extra-chromosomal DNA (plasmids). Eukaryotic cells have often several to several dozen chromosomes. ...
  21. (Chromosome) In animal cells, a structure in the nucleus containing a linear thread of DNA, which contains and transmits genetic information and is associated with RNA and histones.
  22. (Chromosome) A threadlike structure of DNA and associated proteins which is found in the nucleus of a cell. Chromosomes carry genetic information in the form of genes.
  23. (Chromosome) The part of the cell that carries genetic information and allows characteristics to be passed from parent to child
  24. (Chromosome) one of a number of small, dark-staining, and more or less rod-shaped bodies situated in the nucleus of a cell.
  25. (Chromosome) Rod-shaped structures within the cell nucleus that carry genes encoded by DNA.
