  1. Chromosome
    [genetic algorithm] In genetic algorithms, a chromosome (also sometimes called a genome) is a set of parameters which define a proposed solution to the problem that the genetic algorithm is trying to solve. The chromosome is often represented as a simple string, although a wide variety of ot...

  5. Chromosome
    A single DNA molecule, a tightly coiled strant of DNA, condensed into a compact structure in vivo by complexing with accessory histones or histone-like proteins. Chromosomes exist in pairs in higher eukaryotes. (See Chromosome walking.)

  7. Chromosome
    A thread-like body found in cell nuclei, comprised of genes arranged in linear order. In higher organisms chromosomes consist of DNA in association with protein. In bacteria they exist as naked DNA. While genes are the units of heredity, chromosomes are the units of transmission from one generati...

  10. Chromosome
    This is a thin filament of DNA double-helix found in the cell nucleus. It is vitally important to biological systems because it carries the body's genes. The nucleus of the human cell contains 46 chromosomes, each with a molecular weight of the order of 100 billion.
