Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An isochromosome is a chromosome that results from the incorrect splitting of the centromere during meiosis, resulting in two identical arms. This can occur in any chromosome and is commonly seen in cancer cells. A ring chromosome is a result of the loss of genetic material from the ends of both arms of a chromosome, resulting in a circular structure. Metachromosomes and parachromosomes are not recognized terms in genetics.
