How can you use “chromosomes” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

Seven regions on chromosomes 4, 6, 7p, 7q, 14, 19, and X, with multipoint lod scores exceeding 0.8 (pointwise P-value ≈ 0.05) were identified (Table 2).
However, backup achiasmatic or "distributive" mechanisms have been identified in some species [ 2 3 4 5 6 7 ] . These distributive segregation systems can partially or almost fully restore faithful segregation of chromosomes during MI in the absence of recombination.
The gaps in these chromosomes occupy 4.1% of genome in Cel2 and 4.5% in MGSCv3.
Since S. pombe contains only three chromosome pairs, aberrant assortment during one or both of the meiotic divisions can produce, by chance, a significant fraction of meiotic products that receive at least one copy of each chromosome and are hence viable [ 38 43 ] . Aberrant segregation can also produce nullisomic aneuploids (missing one or more chromosomes), polysomic aneuploids (having additional copies of individual chromosomes), and diploids [ 38 39 44 ] . In S. pombe the haploids and diploids are viable, nullisomic aneuploids are inviable, and disomic aneuploids tend to lose the extra chromosome or chromosomes and become haploid [ 45 ] . We therefore determined the frequencies of spore viability and meiotic diploidy as genetic measures of chromosome segregation errors.
In particular, gain of chromosomes 1q and 8q has been associated with the early development of HCC [ 12], whereas loss of chromosome 4q has been linked to increased aggressiveness of established tumors [ 11].
