, A chromosome is a package of material located
inside the cell nucleus which is made of proteins
and a single molecule of DNA. There are 23 pairs of
chromosomes in each human cell for a total of 46
chromosomes. Chromosomes are separated into
two identical sets during mitosis or meiosis. This
provides a set of chromosomes to each daughter
cell which results from cell division. This process is
responsible for the transfer of genetic information to
the daughter cells. The first 22 pairs of
chromosomes are known as autosomes. The 23rd

partner of the chromosome pair and code for the
same genetic trait or physiologic function. Alleles
can be dominant or recessive. One allele may be
dominant and the other recessive, or they both may
be dominant or both recessive. The dominant alleles'
genetic code will always manifest in the individual's
phenotype. The information in the recessive allele is
typically not expressed in the phenotype unless
both alleles are recessive. For the purpose of clarity
in use, the dominant gene is assigned a capital letter
and the recessive gene is a
