The 64 pages that link to Chromosome, each with the reason it gives.

• MutationRelated: Chromosomal mutations affect structure or number beyond individual genes.

• FertilizationRelated: Fertilization combines chromosome sets from both parents.

• Cell cycleRelated: Duplicated chromosomes must be organized and distributed during division.

• ZygoteRelated: The zygote receives chromosome sets from both gametes.

• Saccharomyces cerevisiaeRelated: Its 16 nuclear chromosomes made this yeast an early eukaryote with a sequenced genome.

• Sexual reproductionRelated: Chromosomes are partitioned into gametes and reunited at fertilization.

• GenomicsRelated: Chromosomes organize much of the genome into inherited units.

• Fluorescence in situ hybridizationRelated: Chromosome structure provides the spatial context for many FISH assays.

• OogenesisRelated: Meiosis changes how many chromosome sets the developing egg carries.
