1. CHROMOSOME→A thread-like structure made up of DNA and
protein found in the nucleus of the most living cells,carrying genetic
information in the form of genes.[DOUBLE STRANDED]
2. CHROMATID→One of the two identical strands of a replicated
chromosome.[SINGLE STRANDED]
3. CENTROMERE→A region where the two chromatids of a
chromosome are held together.
4.HOMOLOGOUS CHROMOSOMES→A pair of
chromosomes of the same shape,size & having similar genes for each
characteristic occupying the same position[locus]

5. GENE→A segment of DNA in a chromosome that contains the code
for a particular characteristic.
6.CENTROSOME→An organelle[containing 2 centrioles] found only
in animal cells
7. CENTRIOLE→The structures formed when the centrosomes
divides into two;they move to opposite ends of the cell during cell division
