Companion(s) in Genetics

Satellites in genetics are tiny chromosomal structures that are found at the boundaries between a gene and its neighboring genes. These molecules are about 8-15 nm in size (a nanometer is one billionth of a meter) and are made of proteins and DNA. They are an important part of the genome because they play a key

Multiple genecopy systems. With the simultaneous presence of two or more numerous genes of one gene, for example, during translocation, multiple chromosomes encoding the same trait occur. There are hypotheses that this phenomenon caused the appearance of a new chromosome - a “satellite” (t
