Chromosomes are visible during cell division. They are made up of a framework of protein and DNA. The number of chromosomes in humans is 46. The number of chromosomes varies from species to species.

• Chromosome Segregation: The equal apportionment of daughter chromosomes to each of the two cells resulting from cell division is chromosome segregation. When a chromosome fails to segregate properly, non-disjunction is said to have occurred.

  The objectives of the course were, and continue to be: -to train students to interpret experimental observations in molecular genetics;
  -to have students understand the experimental bases for molecular genetic principles; and
  to train students to apply experimental methods of molecular genetics to problems in that science.
• OmniMapFree: OmniMapFree is a computer program for displaying and analysing the genome of any organism. You can use it to generate genome maps of your own favourite organism and to link chromosome, genetic, transcriptomic, proteomic, molecular mutant and many other types of important information directly to the genomic sequence. It is very easy to use - it does not require any knowledge of databases or computer programming. All of the data is held in plain text files which can be created and modified using a simple text editor e.g. Notepad or Wordpad.
