  • Gramatical category: s
  • Definition: Molecules into which the genes are organized in the cells.
  • Context: Higher organisms generally avoid this predicament by being diploid and having duplicate copies of each chromosome and therefore of each gene.
  • Notes: The structure of chromosomes varies depending on the type of cell. In prokaryote cells, genes are organized in circular chromosomes (there is usually one single chromosome). In eukaryotic cells, there is more than one chromosome.
