chlorine.noun
a highly irritating, greenish yellow gaseous halogen,
capable of combining with nearly all other elements, produced principally
by electrolysis of sodium chloride and used widely to purify water, as
a disinfectant and bleaching agent, and in the manufacture of many important
compounds including chloroform and carbon tetrachloride. Atomic
number 17; atomic weight
35.45; freezing point –100.98°C;
boiling point –34.6°C; specific gravity 1.56 (–33.6°C); valence

chlorophyl.also.chlorophyll.noun
the green coloring in plants, which in the presence
of sunlight, converts
carbon dioxide-(CO2)
and water into carbohydrates;
that process is known as photosynthesis.
chloroplast.noun
Chlorophyl containing
organelle

chromatin.noun
a granular protoplasmic substance (a complex of
nucleic acids and proteins) in the nucleus of animal and plant cells that
contains the genes, and readily takes a deep stain with basic dyes, and
condenses to form chromosomes during cell division.
We do not know exactly how chromatin is copied. Chromatin is formed into
a long thread which in turn breaks into segments-(chromosomes)
that are split lengthwise
chromatinic-adjective
chromodynamics.noun-(used
with a singular verb)
the physics
of the relationship between color carrying quarks,
especially the nature of their strong interaction, which is characterized
by the exchange of gluons
chromosome
Chromosomes are formed when chromatin
is fabricated into a long thread which in turn breaks into segments-that
are split lengthwise. These segments are chromosomes. In this, chromosomes
alter their structure, whereas genes-seem-inclined
not to change.
Chromosomes carry genes in
linear-sequence,
containing most of a cell's genetic material. Chromosomes define the individual
characteristics of an organism. A chromosome occurs as a threadlike structure
in the nucleus of plant and animal (eukaryotic) cells. Each chromosome
can be seen to consist of two separate threads called chromatids, held
together at one point.
A bacterial
chromosome (called a nucleoid)
is a single, very long and circular piece of DNA on which lie all of the
bacterium's genes.
The chromosome branches out from an attachment
to the cytoplasmic-membrane
in a pattern whose shape is perpetuated
by proteins bound to the DNA, making it look similar to coral,
with some parts appearing highly coiled, and others loosely wound. An extensive
system of proteins copies our chromosomes assisting in retaining the individuality
of cells.
Chromosomes are difficult to analyze as they have
so many integrated and changeable properties. Genes are carved up into
specific segments along the chromosome and connected together again after
the RNA has replicated.
