How can you use “chromosomes” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
1 [ 25 ] . To confirm that MADS-IX is not an artifact and is actually a human DNA sequence located on chromosome 10q, we used the sequence as a fluorescence in situ hybridization probe on human metaphase chromosomes.
For FISH analysis, metaphase chromosomes were prepared from rat embryo fibroblasts.
Comparative genomics and more specialized fields such as comparative virology, etc., involve the comparison of DNA sequences, genes and genomes [ 12 13 14 ] . Recent rapid data acquisition is allowing the analyses of whole genome sequences, especially the smaller genomes such as mitochondria and chloroplasts [ 15 16 17 ] , as well as the larger bacterial genomes [ 18 19 ] and large tracts of eukaryotic chromosomes, especially from related organisms [ 12 13 14 20 21 22 23 ] . These studies include the determination of the order of genes, i.e., co-linearity [ 24 25 ] , the location of synteny [ 26 27 28 ] and the identification of clusters of orthologous genes [cog] between two genomes [ 21 22 23 ] . Along similar lines of thought, it should be extremely useful to locate, identify and catalog the sets of "core" genes common to these genomes-genomes which otherwise may be related or semi-related or unrelated in other respects.
All organisms have mechanisms to ensure that dividing cells produce new cells with the proper number of chromosomes.
Proteasome activity is required for germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD) in starfish and toad oocytes [ 44 45 ] and for activating Xenopus oocytes [ 45 46 ] . Also, proteasomes are needed for regulating centrosome segregation [ 38 47 ] , kinetochore structure [ 39 ] , and sister chromatid cohesion and separation [ 48 ] . When rat oocytes were exposed to the proteasome inhibitor MG132, proteasomes translocated to the meiotic spindle, MPF activity was sustained, and oocytes were arrested in MI with partially segregated chromosomes [ 42 ] .
