Chromosome Collection (#5)

Meiosis, SEM
Meiosis. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of chromosomes during metaphase (I) of meiosis (gamete formation). Chromosomes consist of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and proteins

Computer-enhanced LM of human chromosomes
Chromosomes. Computer-enhanced light micrograph of human chromosomes. Chromosomes are thread-like structures in the cell nucleus that carry genetic information in the form of genes

Human chromosome 3, computer artwork. Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes in total. Chromosomes are made up of DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid), which carries the bodys genetic information

Computer artwork of chromosomes over grids

Abnormal mitosis
Mitosis. Fluorescence micrograph of a cell during abnormal anaphase of mitosis (nuclear division). During mitosis two daughter nuclei are formed from one parent nucleus

Dividing cell. Differential interference contrast (DIC) light micrograph of a cell (lower left) in the metaphase stage of mitosis (cell division). The cells nuclei are stained with fluorescent dye

Male chromosome set
Male human chromosome set. Computer artwork of the complete set (karyotype) of healthy male human chromosomes. Humans have 46 chromosomes in most cells

Mitotic cell division, TEM
Mitotic cell division. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a cell during the metaphase stage of mitosis (cell division)

Gender determination, computer artwork. Gender is determined by the sex chromosomes, X and Y. Females have 2 X chromosomes and men an X and a Y chromosome

Male sex chromosomes. Computer artwork of an X and Y symbolising the male sex chromosomes. An individuals sex is determined by the presence or absence of the Y chromosome

Mitosis, TEM
Mitosis, coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM). Longitudinal section through a human T cell in metaphase. During mitosis two daughter nuclei are formed from one parent nucleus

Cell mitosis. Confocal fluorescence light micrograph composite showing 6 stages of mitotic cell division. At far left, the cell has completed the first stage of cell division known as interphase in

Mitosis. Fluorescence micrograph of a cell during prometaphase of mitosis (nuclear division). During mitosis two daughter nuclei are formed from one parent nucleus

Chromosome, SEM
Chromosome. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a condensed chromosome showing chromomeres. Chromosomes, which consist of two identical chromatids joined at a centromere

Normal female chromosomes
False-colour light micrograph of a normal trypsin/leishman banded female karyotype, the full complement of female chromosomes arranged in numbered homologous pairs

Human chromosomes
False-colour light micrograph of a normal set of human chromosomes, the strands of DNA which lie within the nucleus of each human cell and carry the genetic code

Sperm fertilising an egg, artwork
Sperm fertilising an egg. Cutaway artwork of a human sperm cell (spermatozoon) penetrating an egg cells (ovum) thick outer layer (zona pellucida). The egg cells membrane is at top right

Genetic modification, conceptual artwork. Human figures and DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid, upper left to bottom right corner), which carries the genetic code. Chromosomes are seen at top left corner

Mitosis, artwork

X chromosome
3D-computer illustration of a human X chromosome, one of the two sex chromosomes. Within almost every human cell are 46 chromosomes of which 22 pairs are the same in females and males

DNA construction, artwork
Conceptional computer artwork of a DNA being constructed or repaired

Genetic research, conceptual artwork
Genetic research, conceptual computer artwork

Chromosome analysis
MODEL RELEASED. Chromosome analysis. Geneticist analysing human chromosomes by fluorescent microscopy. Individual chromosomes are visible on the computer monitor as pale blue rods

Human chromosomes, artwork
Human karyotype, computer artwork. A karyotype is the complete set of chromosomes of an organism. Humans have 46 chromosomes in total

Artwork of bacterial DNA: chromosome and plasmids

Human karyotype, artwork
Human karyotype, computer artwork. A karyotype is the complete set of chromosomes of an organism. Humans have 46 chromosomes in total

Chromosomes and DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) molecules, computer artwork. Chromosomes are composed of DNA coiled around proteins

Chromosomes and DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) molecules on a DNA autoradiogram, computer artwork. Chromosomes are composed of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) coiled around proteins

DNA
Deoxyribonucleic acid. Conceptual artwork of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) spelt out with fluoresence micrographs of anaphase stage cells. Anaphase is a stage of mitosis (nuclear division)

Gene switch, conceptual artwork
Gene switch. Conceptual computer artwork representing a gene switch, showing a switch (red) on one of the arms of a chromosome

Artwork of DNA sequences and chromosomes
DNA sequences & chromosomes. Computer artwork of an autoradiogram of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) sequences. A close up view of a sequence is superimposed in the foreground
