Micronuclei can contain a whole chromosome or part of a chromatid.

The distributions of these densities are consistent across the length of the whole chromosome (Figure 4), except one region around 21-22 Mb.

These chromosome fragments or whole chromosomes normally develop nuclear membranes and form as micronuclei as a third nucleus.

Collectively, these components function to ensure accurate partitioning of plasmids or whole chromosomes between bacterial daughter cells prior to cell division.

At threshold 0.8, 1,232 TSSs referring to 1,176 (55.2%) genes are correctly identified, with one additional prediction every 5,663 bases across the whole chromosome.

Prokaryotes can acquire novel genetic material through the process of bacterial conjugation in which both plasmids and whole chromosomes can be passed between organisms.

Transformation occurs and is accelerated when maintenance of genomic integrity breaks down especially at the gross level of whole chromosomes or large portions of them.

Numerical CIN is a high rate of either gain or loss of whole chromosomes; causing aneuploidy.

Imprinting of whole chromosomes has been reported in mealybugs (Genus: Pseudococcus).
