replikatsioonivalgud Inimesel on sugurakkudes 23 kromosoomi. Haploidne e. ühekordne kromosoomide arv (sugurakkudes) vs diploidne e. kahekordne (keharakkudes). Polüploidsus- Üle kahe kromosoomikomplekti organismi rakkudes (diploidne kromosoomistik e. 2n, üks komplekt homoloogsetest kromosoomidest pärineb emalt, teine isalt): triploid (3n), tetraploid (4n), pentaploid (5n), heksaploid (6n), heptaploid (7n), oktaploid (8n) jne. autosoomid- (inglise autosome) on kromosoom (mittesugukromosoom), mis esineb võrdarvuliselt (nt paariliselt) liigi kõikidel isenditel, olenemata nende soost[1]. Inimesel on 22 autosoomi, mida tähistatakse numbritega 1–22. Kui panna autosoomid tinglikult pikkuse järjekorda, siis on kromosoom (autosoom) number 1 kõige pikem ja kromosoom number 22 kõige lühem. Autosoomne dominantne geen avaldub alati ja autosoomne retsessiivne geen avaldub dominantse geeni puudumisel.
Lacy has the dominant white gene associated with blue eyes and deafness (Lacy is deaf). Lacy owns Greg Schultz who refers to her as "The Queen". Mikey has the dominant white gene, but has green eyes rather than blue. He is also deaf. Mikey is owned by Jennifer Moore (ibjennyjenny). In some animals, the blue-eyed white trait is sex-linked (carried on the X chromosome) and is found in males more often than in females. In cats, the gene for white is carried on an autosome (a chromosome other than the X or Y sex chromosomes) and the trait occurs equally in male and female cats. Blue-eyed white is not sex-linked in cats. WHITE SPOTTING The gene for white spotting, denoted by the gene symbol "S", can also create the impression of a self white cat. This gene is semi-dominant and is variable in the way it is expressed - a cat may have no visible white spots or may be wholly white and all stages in between those two extremes
