A carrier of genetic information that is visible under an ordinary light microscope. Each human chromosome has two arms: the p (short) arm, and the q (long) arm. Generally, the nucleus of a human cell contains two sets of chromosomes (each set is called an allele) – one allele given by each parent. Each allele has 23 single chromosomes: 22 autosomes (non-sex chromosome); and an X /Y sex chromosome combination denoting male, or an X/X sex chromosome combination denoting female (one X chromosome is given by the mother, and either an X chromosome or a Y chromosome is randomly given by the father). A chromosome contains roughly equal parts of protein and DNA. The chromosomal DNA contains an average of 150 million nucleotide building blocks. These nucleotide building blocks are known as bases.
When Medicine Lost Its Compass
Evidence failed not because it was wrong, but because it was weaponized. I lived the downstream effects of that failure for more than a decade. This is what happens when medicine forgets that data always ends in a human being.
