With chromosome maps called idiograms, researchers can pinpoint the locations of genes and locate abnormal gene forms. Aa Aa Aa Most cytogeneticists are skilled at identifying individual ...

A chromosome is a single, long molecule of DNA. These highly organized structures store genetic information in living organisms. Small sections of the chromosome, called genes, code for the RNA ...

A gene is a small section of DNA in a chromosome. Each gene codes for a particular sequence of amino acids in order to make a specific protein. It is the unit of heredity, and may be copied and ...
