Summary of passage
Chromosomes are the instruction books in our bodies found in the nucleus of cells. Each cell has 46 chromosomes except sperm and egg cells, which have 23. Made of DNA, chromosomes carry information like eye color and height. Genes within chromosomes contain instructions for making proteins. Mitosis is the process of dividing chromosomes when cells divide. Mistakes during mitosis can lead to genetic disorders affecting growth and development.
Chromosomes determine traits like hair type and freckles and are inherited from parents. Extra chromosomes can cause conditions like Down syndrome, while missing or damaged chromosomes can lead to health problems. Scientists study chromosomes to understand and treat these conditions. Chromosomes are essential to life, containing unique information and playing a vital role in growth and development. Understanding chromosomes can help improve health and well-being.
