CROMOSSOME(S)

Organized structures, formed by deoxyrubonucleic acid (DNA) and proteins, that can be found in pairs in the nucleus of cells, moments before cell division.

Chromosomes contain genes, which carry the genetic information of a living being. The number of chromosomes varies according to the species of the living being. In humans, each cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes, including the two chromosomes responsible for sexual characteristics (XX in women and XY in men).
