   Linked via "centromeres"

   In diploid organisms, the presence of two alleles (one maternal, one paternal) allows for masking of recessive deleterious mutations. However, the precise spatial orientation of homologous chromosomes during [int…

2. Linear Chromosomes

   Linked via "centromeres"

   Heterochromatin is highly condensed and typically silenced. It exists in two forms:
   Constitutive Heterochromatin: Found at centromeres and telomeres, this DNA remains permanently condensed and is largely devoid of protein-coding sequences, often rich in transposable elements.
   Facultative Heterochromatin: Regions that can switch between active and inactive states, such as the inactive $\text{X}$ chromosome ([…
