Conclusion – 23 Chromosomes
In conclusion, the function of chromosomes is to carry the basic genetic material DNA. Chromosomes is made up of proteins and DNA organized into genes. Studying the 23 pairs of chromosomes and their functions is an important part of biology to understand various developmental pathways and diseases associated with these genes. With genetic mapping, one can also identify the location of genes that may be related to disease and thus help in understanding the diseases or making a target drug.
23 Chromosomes – Functions and Types of Chromosomes
Chromosomes are made of DNA molecules and are found in the nucleus of a cell. There are 23 chromosome pairs in humans. Transporting genetic information from one cell generation to the next is the main function of chromosomes. Several genes on each chromosome code for different proteins. The features of the entire organism are influenced by or determined by these genes.
