Difference between Chromosome and Chromosome 21

Chromosome vs. Chromosome 21

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. Chromosome 21 is one of the 23 pairs of chromosomes in humans.

Similarities between Chromosome and Chromosome 21

Chromosome and Chromosome 21 have 18 things in common (in Unionpedia): Autosome, Base pair, Cancer, Cell (biology), Centromere, Chromosomal translocation, Chromosome 22, DNA, Down syndrome, Ensembl genome database project, Gene, Gene prediction, Human, Human genome, Human Genome Project, Locus (genetics), Mitosis, Protein.

Autosome

An autosome is a chromosome that is not an allosome (a sex chromosome).

DNA

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a thread-like chain of nucleotides carrying the genetic instructions used in the growth, development, functioning and reproduction of all known living organisms and many viruses.

Down syndrome

Down syndrome (DS or DNS), also known as trisomy 21, is a genetic disorder caused by the presence of all or part of a third copy of chromosome 21.

Ensembl genome database project

Ensembl genome database project is a joint scientific project between the European Bioinformatics Institute and the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, which was launched in 1999 in response to the imminent completion of the Human Genome Project.

Gene prediction

In computational biology, gene prediction or gene finding refers to the process of identifying the regions of genomic DNA that encode genes.

Human genome

The human genome is the complete set of nucleic acid sequences for humans, encoded as DNA within the 23 chromosome pairs in cell nuclei and in a small DNA molecule found within individual mitochondria.

Human Genome Project

The Human Genome Project (HGP) was an international scientific research project with the goal of determining the sequence of nucleotide base pairs that make up human DNA, and of identifying and mapping all of the genes of the human genome from both a physical and a functional standpoint.
