Descriptions Names[Advanced Search]

A highly compacted molecule of DNA and associated proteins resulting in a cytologically distinct structure. Organized structure of distinctive morphology and function, not bounded by a lipid bilayer membrane and occurring within the cell. Includes ribosomes, the cytoskeleton and chromosomes. A chromosome involved in sex determination. A structure composed of a very long molecule of DNA and associated proteins (e.g. histones) that carries hereditary information. Any chromosome other than a sex chromosome. Organized structure of distinctive morphology and function, not bounded by a lipid bilayer membrane. Includes ribosomes, the cytoskeleton and chromosomes. Any constituent part of a chromosome, a structure composed of a very long molecule of DNA and associated proteins (e.g. histones) that carries hereditary information. Organized structure of distinctive morphology and function, occurring within the cell. Includes the nucleus, mitochondria, plastids, vacuoles, vesicles, ribosomes and the cytoskeleton. Excludes the plasma membrane. A chromosome found in the cytoplasm. A chromosome found in the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell. A type of chromosome in a polyploid cell, formed when multiple copies of homologous chromosomes are aligned side by side to give a giant chromosome in which distinct chromosome bands are readily visible.
