Difference between Chromosome and Locus (genetics)

Chromosome vs. Locus (genetics)

A chromosome (from Ancient Greek: χρωμόσωμα, chromosoma, chroma means colour, soma means body) is a DNA molecule with part or all of the genetic material (genome) of an organism. A locus (plural loci) in genetics is a fixed position on a chromosome, like the position of a gene or a marker (genetic marker).

Similarities between Chromosome and Locus (genetics)

Chromosome and Locus (genetics) have 9 things in common (in Unionpedia): Centromere, Chromosomal translocation, Chromosome 3, Gene, Genome, Microscope, Ploidy, Polyploid, Telomere.

Centromere

The centromere is the specialized DNA sequence of a chromosome that links a pair of sister chromatids (a dyad).

Chromosomal translocation

In genetics, a chromosome translocation is a chromosome abnormality caused by rearrangement of parts between nonhomologous chromosomes.

Microscope

A microscope (from the μικρός, mikrós, "small" and σκοπεῖν, skopeîn, "to look" or "see") is an instrument used to see objects that are too small to be seen by the naked eye.

Ploidy

Ploidy is the number of complete sets of chromosomes in a cell, and hence the number of possible alleles for autosomal and pseudoautosomal genes.

Polyploid

Polyploid cells and organisms are those containing more than two paired (homologous) sets of chromosomes.

Telomere

A telomere is a region of repetitive nucleotide sequences at each end of a chromosome, which protects the end of the chromosome from deterioration or from fusion with neighboring chromosomes.

The list above answers the following questions

Chromosome and Locus (genetics) Comparison

Chromosome has 240 relations, while Locus (genetics) has 25. As they have in common 9, the Jaccard index is 3.40% = 9 / (240 + 25).
