What is a Chromatophore?

A chromosome is a specific form of DNA that exists in cells during mitosis or meiosis. In the nucleus, DNA is tightly wrapped around proteins called histones and packaged into a linear structure.

Chromosomes come from the Greek (chroma, "color") and (somatic cells, "body"), describing their strong staining of specific dyes. The chromosome was created by German scientist von Waldeyer-Hartz, replacing the chromatin proposed by German biologist Walther Flemming who discovered cell division.

Human chromosomes can be divided into two types:

Chromosome aberrations are changes in the normal number of chromosomes in a cell. Although most chromosomal aberrations have little or no negative impact on human health, some chromosomal aberrations are the main cause of human genetic diseases. Such as Down syndrome: there are 3 copies of chromosome 21.

Chromosomal translocations or chromosomal inversions do not cause disease in carriers, but they may increase the chance of developing offspring.

Abnormal numbers of chromosomes or chromosomes, also known as aneuploidies, can be fatal or can cause genetic diseases ^[15] .
