they have information and they store it for copying instructions for building proteins.

>>2003671
Can they be changed?

They're pretty useless actually.
>>2003671
That's actually a myth.

>>2003676
>>2003676
Yes, from transcribing from DNA to RNA there can be errors

>>2003692
Wtf is RNA?

>>2003692
So this means those freaks can actually become biological freaks? This isn't something that should be promoted.

The condensed versions do jack shit
The uncoiled versions have an unedited base-4 code.
Chromosomes don't do much though. Now if you're talking about how introns/exons are formed...that's the interesting part.

>>2003682
>>HURR
>>2003692
that wouldn't change the chromosomes, that would just create a bunch of retarded proteins. AFAIK, changes occur when a protein that re-assembles DNA clicks in an incorrect portion of DNA molecule. there might be other causes I'm un aware of.

>>2003694
A similar non double helix molecule that is basically the copy proteins are made from.

Alot of the people in this thread seem to have too many of chromosome 23, but don't worry it makes you special :)

>>2003709
Unless it's RNA from which DNA is transcribed.

Butthurt trannies who need to be shot.

Republicans own this country now, niggers; prepare to die.

Chromosomes are useless really.

Wtf is with this thread? It needs to die, now.

They are tightly coiled DNA strands which contain bases that code for specific amino acids which in turn are the building blocks of proteins. And proteins are the precursors for cells and so on.

Humans have 23 pairs of them.

chromazones store this shit called chromatin which can be unpacked to form proteins which break down food in the cell.

>>2004608
My doctor says I have 22 of them.

What does this mean?

If chromosomes are there to produce proteins.

How the fuck is sex even associated with them?

>My doctor says I have 22 of them.
>What does this mean?

It means you aren't alive.

>>2004861
BUT THEN WHO WAS POST???

>My doctor says I have 22 of them.
>What does this mean?

>It means you aren't alive.

Or, you are, but you are not human.

>>2003702
>>2003867

wtf are you guys on? Can I have some of that shit?

>>2004864
How am I not human?

>>2004872
humans have 23

>>2004873
But how does that not make him human when he has a human body and organs? Are you trollin'?

>>2004864
>>2004873

Chromosomes don't indicate who is or who isn't human, morons.

Chromosomes do nothing.

Scientists recently discovered that they're useless and only used to define biological sex.

>>2004885
then explain it do us professor

>>2004883
By the simple virtue of chromosome numbers. The only acceptable deviation is 24 chromosome pairs, and that won't be taking you the Doom route, only the Down syndrome (caused by a tripling of chromosome 21).

>Chromosomes don't indicate who is or who isn't human, morons.

Yes it does r-tard. There is no one alive who is missing a full set of chromosomes, or 2 of any independent chromosomes. Monosomy exists only when a human is missing both sex chromosomes as in the case with turner syndrome. Any other missing chromosome means death.

As for the 22 chromosome thing, I was implying that he was some kind of organism with only 22 chromosomes (I misread the pairs part) as in for, I donno.. A possum, or a bean.

Chromosomes don't define humanity, dumbasses.

Try to discriminate against someone for it and you'd be sued.

>>2004901
This thread just went full retard.

My doctor told me that I have XX chromosomes yet as far as anyone is concerned, I was born a male. What the fuck does this mean?! Have I been a woman this entire time?! I'm not gay though. :(

>>2004916
This thread now has my interest.

>>2004901
Nigga, you just went full r-tard (gtfo 14 faggot).

HOW THE FUCK CAN GENES MAKE ALL THE PARTS OF THE EAR?!?!
fucking tiny ass hammer and anvil spaced precisely apart and shit is crazy.

i thought dna had info for forming proteins not the structure and spacing and formations of them.

>This thread just went full retard.

I said it for the lulz. dont be a douche.

>My doctor told me that I have XX chromosomes yet as far as anyone is concerned, I was born a male. What the fuck does this mean?! Have I been a woman this entire time?! I'm not gay though. :(

Sex determination is based on the presence of the Y chromosome. If you ONLY have 2 X chromosomes and no Y chromosome, you are what is known as sex reversed. Testicle production in normal males is determined by a small gene on the small arm of the Y chromosome, known as the testis determining factor or TDF. In the case of individuals who are male but with two X chromosomes, this small Y fragment broke off during gamete development and attached to one of your X chromosomes.

Look up TDF or SRY gene in google.

This thread reeks of trollery.

>>2004935
So does this mean I don't produce sperm?

>So does this mean I don't produce sperm?

Yea usually. I wouldn't worry too much, in vitro fertilization is coming a long way, so you may be able to look forward to kids in another decade or so.

In the meantime, enjoy all the unprotected secks you want.

>r-tard
Gtfo of my /sci/, you 14 year old f@ggot.

Guy with 22 chromosomes here.

Does this disqualify me from civil rights?

>Gtfo of my /sci/, you 14 year old f@ggot.

Take a step backwards and fuck your own face.

Anyways, OP says hes got 22 chromosomes and now he's saying he's got XX. He be trollin'

>>2004949
Yes, now gtfo of my world, freak.

>>2004956
What the fuck made you think I was the OP?

>>2004956
Neither of these guys are related to the original post.Moron.

>>2004949
This thread keeps grabbing my interest.

>>2004949
Will he be denied basic human civil rights?

If not, he should.

Guys, I... I think I have chromosomes. What should I do?

>>2005072
Kill yourself.

The 2.9 billion[13][14] base pairs of the haploid human genome correspond to about 691.4 megabytes of data,[15] since every base pair can be coded by 2 bits.

how does it feel to know you could fit on a thumbdrive?

>>2005154
English, geek, do you speak it?

>>2005161
You can fit your DNA on a CD.

>>2004873
Are you arguing that retarded people aren't human? What are they? Are they a completely separate species?

>>2005165
I can fit it inside a skin-flake. What's so impressive about a CD?

>>2005189
I want to see you try, smartass.

Go on, post a YouTube vid, nigger.

Basically, DNA is a really long molecule, so long that it wouldn't fit in the cell unless wound up in some way. Chromosomes are the cell's way of packaging the DNA, but the fully condensed chromosomes as depicted in your image only manifest during cell division, when the duplicated copies of DNA need to be pulled to opposite sides of the cell so that it can divide. Ever tried to grab hold of two tangled ropes and pull them apart? Impossible. Usually the DNA resides in the nucleus in a looser, but still coiled up form.

Tranny fucks need to die.

You sure sound like a true scientist brah
