10 Chromosome
represents between 4% and 4.5% of the total DNA in cells. People normally
have two copies of this chromosome as all other non-sex chromosomes. Chromosome
ten spans about 135 million base pairs. Base Pairs are two molecules
(nucleotides) on opposite DNA strands that are connected. Adenine (A) forms a
base pair with thymine (T), as does guanine (G) with cytosine (C) in DNA. Base pairs is how DNA is measured.
There are about 1,106 genes in this chromosome.
This chromosome is
involved with Breast, Brain and Prostate Cancer.
